Before I begin, can a moderator please remove my other thread about looking for the Windows Sound System 2.0 floppies? I didn't get any replies, found them, and I started a new thread to draw fresh eyes to a new problem. Thank you.
I have freshly installed DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 on my Toshiba T4800CT laptop, and I cannot get the sound to work in DOS. They will however, work in Windows.
The system is equipped with Windows Sound System hardware and I'm supposed to be able to get sound with my DOS games with Sound Blaster emulation that comes with the drivers. I'm using the Windows Sound System 2.0 disks (5 disk set) for the installation.
To start, I setup the drivers in Windows. My sound card is using the address of 0530h, IRQ 7, DMA 1. Works fine in Windows. Sounds load no problem.
For the Sound Blaster Emulation I set it to use the address of 0220h, IRQ 7, DMA 1, and I have tried both enabling and disabling Single Mode DMA with a DMA Buffer Size of 32 but that hasn't done anything noticeable. The setup tells me to run a configuration program to write to the CONFIG.SYS file to configure my sound for DOS. I run it with the settings above but still no dice.
For the games I use the option of Sound Blaster, 0220h, IRQ 7, DMA 1. Doesn't work.
Games I've tried so far are Doom and Jazz Jackrabbit. Absolutely nothing. Jazz tells me to configure my sound card and won't start up as if the card isn't even there.
I even tried changing the IRQ of the Sound Blaster emulation to 5 and then setting the games to use that instead, in case it was a confusion between the physical and emulated cards with the IRQ, but still no dice.
Here are the contents of my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. (And yes I pick Sound Blaster Compatibility when I boot up)
CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT
I've been at this for days and I'm completely stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
