You probably refer to AC97 or HDA compatible sound hardware. Some newer media players for DOS support various chips in this category, but old games do not. You can not modify the old game usually and DOS does not have drivers for sound: The driver is part of the game. If you want to use an old game with sound on modern hardware, you usually need to use DOS inside a virtual machine which simulates an old sound card such as SoundBlaster. There are both general virtual machines and DOS specific ones. An example of the latter is DOSEMU2 (most distros still use the older DOSEMU branch) for Linux :-) If you only have Windows 10, then have a look at DOSBOX which simulates part of an old PC and simulates DOS itself, but you can also install more of FreeDOS in it. Or try a generic VM such as VMWare, VirtualBox, Bochs, QEMU. Have fun :-) Cheers, Eric PS: Win10 does not support ancient soundcards which DOS games did. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

[Freedos-user] Freedos and Realtec soundchips
Hi, Freedos runs pritty well on modern devices. But are there any Drivers for the generic realtec soundchips? I that is not the case, is there a Kind of soundcards wich can be used as well under FreeDOS as under Windows 10?
