Re: [Freedos-user] Soundcard Audigy 2 works in MPXPLAY but nowhere else.

Tried several times to use ordinary Soundblaster Live! under DOS - and _never_ was able to make any use out of this card under DOS. Maybe someone of you managed to configure this card for DOS? Just out of curiosity, since I've got ISA cards, that I'm using with no problems whatsoever - but I'm
