I have tried other memory managers like UMBPCI, but sbinit.com will not work with ones not having VCPI/DPMI.Do you have legal access to MS-DOS 6 or Windows 9x ?
I get a error message indicating so when tring to load sbinit.com.
in that case you could try MS's EMM386 (how about using the EMM386 of DR-DOS?), and see if that works.
did you also try running FreeDOS EMM386 under MSDOS kernel (MS bootdisk + freedos emm386.exe). FreeDOS kernel sometimes is a problem.
This is a new area for us. Not many people use (sound in) DOS anymore
Unfortunately I've given away my Soundblaster Live 5.1 (now using a Terratec Aureon Space 7.1 due to my dual-processor board).
You could try to send an email to Creative Labs / Creative Technologies about this issue.
they might have more specific information. Surely they cannot require the MS-EMM386, as MSDOS is no longer sold or supported,
and Win9x will follow the same end-of-life cycle soon enough.
If I sent you guys a soundblaster card and a DOS driver CD would you guys be willing to try and fix emm386 & himem64 to work with it? I would not need the card returned. Just let me know how & where you would like it sent. According to the driver info these Creative Labs DOS drivers will work with all but 2 of the cards that they currently have in production.Ask Michael Devore or Tom Ehlert. They wrote this very complex piece of software.
If you don't mind me asking, what model DOS sound cards are you guys using that are currently available? I can always switch to another PCI audio card if it is going to be available for at least two or three years (and it dosen't cost a small fortune). The "one board wonders" with onboard sound using the 686A & 686B VIA southbridge controllers and BIOS blaster enabled are becoming scarce and not reliably available. This is what has caused me to resort to using a PCI audio card in the first place. I thank you all very much for your time and sincerely hope there is a solution for this problem soon.I think AC97 codec has DOS drivers available, but I don't know how compatible it is with the DOS standard cards (SB16 ISA, SB Pro ISA).
some freeware emulators have decent SB16 emulation. VDMsound project, Dosbox, Bochs, Qemu maybe, Microsoft's VirtualPC maybe,
but Vmware definately not. They switched from lacking SB16 to ES1371 (SB-128 PCI)..hey, I can try to verify your case!
