This game mainly supports Soundblaster Pro or better sound cards. It should work with compatibles but we haven't tested it with all of them. To allow sound in the game you may need to set the DOS 'blaster' variable manually. If you have a soundblaster Pro, or better, this should be done already in your autoexec.bat. If you don't have the blaster variable in your Autoexec.bat file but have a SB-Pro compatible card, eg. Zeos integrated business audio using the ESS chip ( is that an obscure soundcard or what?) you need to do the following at the DOS command prompt type: set blaster=A220 I5 D1 If during setup or installation, none of the sound drivers work, you should check your autoexec.bat file for a sound card setting line. First back up autoexec.bat by copying it to your clip board by control c. Then paste it with control v. This will make a file called "copy of autoexec.bat" Then rename autoexec.bat to autoexec.txt. This can be done with the f2 key Then click on autoexec.txt This will bring it into your notepad. Make sure you have word wrap unchecked in the edit menu. Then look for a sound blaster line. My line says: SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 ' A is the port your card uses, usually port 220. ' I is the interrupt the card uses, usually 5 but it could be 7. ' D is the DMA channel to use, usually 1 but could be 3. Copy or type the line in. Then hit enter on "save as" from your file menu. It should be saved as an ascii text file named autoexec.bat and your computer should be re-booted. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
