Just for clarification here, in case I missed the obvious, are you
installing the sound card [and CD-drive] *in* DOS? Reason I ask is that
DOS isn't plug'n'pray and you gotta tell it what's where, IRQ, etc.
In my config.sys I have to have:
DEVICEHIGH=L:\CDROM\MTMCDAI.SYS /D:MTMIDE01
if I expect to use the CD to play music or whatever.
and in my autoexec.bat I have to have:
CALL C:\DOS\GSOUND.BAT
LOADHIGH L:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MTMIDE01 /E /V /M:10
Gsound.bat is a real sample of what does or doesn't work ... I left most
of my tries in. It may give you some ideas:
@echo off
echo Loading sound configuration into environment . . .
REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 E0 B330 'too much space or DMAs or?
REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 E0 'didn't work
REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 'didn't work either
g:\WIN3.1\ESSCFG.EXE /A:220 /I:5 /D:1 /E:0 /B:330 /J:D
g:\WIN3.1\ESSVOL.EXE /V:15 /L:15 /W:15 /M:0 /C:15 /S:8 /A:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
That last line may be one you need??? It has to be run after everything
else; if you look you'll see that putting it sooner didn't work.
Just dealing with PnP is a true pain.
l.d.
