Daggerfall keeps crashing in DOS!

its a soundblaster pci64
if i go onto control panel etc and look it up it actually has numbers it
gives you to set to DOS, i put them in but it doesn't work

the card kept getting auto-detected as an ensoniq soundscape, which has
never happened before. i checked and i think mine can emulate that, but when
i set it up daggerfall just says "n/a" iq and it doesn't work anyway.

but yeah, its the same soundcard i've had for years and years and its always
worked on daggerfall, but i do recall having problems setting it up
sometimes, its just weird cos i installed the game a few months back and it
was fine, now on the same system it isn't! must be something, but what?!

Have you changed drivers?

Win95 only did .vxd drivers, so PCIxxx cards also automatically
installed the dos drivers for the card.

Control Panel/System/Device Manager/Sound Video and Game Controllers

If you have "Legacy Sound device" or something to that effect, you have
the dos drivers installed.

The other type of sound driver (.wdm) used in 2k/XP and sometime in
win98 systems has no Dos driver at all.



As for the Ensoniq issue, Creative bought Ensoniq and a fair number of
the PCIxxx cards are actually Ensoniq chipsets.
This is one of the reasons there's 4 or so different cards/chipsets all
called SB PCI-128.

CHEERS FOR the reply, yeah i do have a legacy device, thats where it gives
me info for the dos settings i should put down that i think i mentioned
elsewhere on this thread?

anyway, so yeah it seems i have dos installed, its just weird, i uninstalled
the sound card then installed it again but still didn't work.
