Theoretically, I shouldn't have any trouble keeping an ISA card in the machine for DOS games, and just use the PCI card for Windows. I've found PCI cards tend to be buggy for DOS games. maybe I need DX9 for that? But my voodoo3 won't go up to 9, so forget that.) Can anyone recommend a good PCI sound card that still has '98 support? I tried some $15 Inland 'crap' from Fry's and it just plain didn't work. Does anyone know if the SB16 is better at handling DirectX (7) than the PAS? Both cards are about-as-old.

the PAS should work fine in the other machine. I think the SB is a slightly better card, so I could swap the two. I do have a Sound Blaster 16 ISA in a DOS machine. I remember a long time ago the sound was perfect, but if I remember right, I think back then I had a Aureal card in there.Ĭurrently, this machine is running a Media Vision PAS-16. I think it might be time to switch sound cards. I reinstalled DX, but any game trying to use any 'fancy' DX features is a big fail. POP3d only needs DX 6.1, and I'm running DX 7. For instance, in Prince of Persia 3D, all the sounds are garbled. Most of the major games (quake 2, descent 2), etc have working sound, but a few are really glitchy. Hi! I have a k6-2 machine I've had for 10 years now! I've recently reinstalled win98 on it (after this machine being dead and driveless for a couple years), and am having directx sound issues.
