I'd like to play some DOS games, but I'm having sound problems. My sound card has legacy emulation, but the device is set you something stupid like IRQ9 and DMA3. What should I set it to?
 
If it's Sound Blaster compatible, try setting it to IRQ=7, DMA=1

zero-x's bitter words after his encounter with roshambo:

"I agree with you but there comes a fuckin point i dont know who roquirbo thinks he is but I at least you didnt really criticize me and i appreciate that i hate people who fuck with my ideas when i didnt say shit to em and yes he is the kind of guy i would take a scalpel tear his head open the take an hammer use the end to samsh through the medulla and use the nail pull as a pry to pull back the top of the skull revealing a brain (small but brain nontheless)and take desert eagle magnum and blow it through his fucking spine as he still breath and then rip out his heart and show him how black it is before he dies but as you said thats illegal well cya"
 
IRQ 7 is being used by my LPT Port. Is there any way to share it?

Try going into System Properties -> Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers -> (your sound card) -> Resources

Then turn off automatic settings and select a configuration that suits your needs.

Heh, no problems here with my soundcard, but then again I'm running a legacy ISA Sound Blaster 16 card. I still have the old autoexec.bat settings for it too.

Not quite sure actually, I would just experiment, as you can always change it back in safe-mode.

Ok, it seems to be working fine without any conflicts, but I'm not getting any MIDI. Any ideas on why that would happen?

Go into Multimedia settings in Control panel and see what MIDI port your card is using. It should be 330h since that is standard.

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Oct-08-01 AT 08:28PM (GMT)[p]Yeah, I figured that out. Even though my soundcard is supposed to be emulating a SB Pro, Windows only assigned one port correctly. The MIDI port, 388 BTW, and the standard DMA address was incorrectly assigned, despite being available. Windows is such a dickhole.

I won't move to any Windows OS that does not have MSDOS support in the near future. Win2000 has MSDOS support (not bad actually), but I don't know if WinXP does. If it doesn't, it will be a long time before I move to that OS.
