Strongly Suggest:
If you want to play multimedia under DOS,
Then the sound card driver is definitely indispensable!
But now the sound cards under DOS are only those,
The moderator will load a few of them!
And rarely post them!
How can the majority of netizens play multimedia under DOS!
So, I strongly suggest,
Set up a highlighted post,
Post all the sound card drivers that everyone knows!
At the same time, it is best to be standardized when posting.
There must be the writing in the minimal startup disk for CONFIG and AUTOEXEC.BAT!
So that everyone can understand it more clearly!
Conducive to everyone's research!

Drivers for SB Live under DOS!

config:
device=himem.sys /testmem:off
device=emm386.exe noems novcpi i=b000-b7ff
files=10
buffers=10
dos=high,umb
stacks=9,256
lastdrive=z

AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET CTSYN=a:\sblive
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
a:\sblive\SBEINIT.COM

Files needed
DOS4GW.EXE
CTSYN.INI
SBECFG.CFG
SBECFG.EXE
SBECORE.BIN
SBEINIT.COM
SBELOAD.EXE
DEFAULT.ECW

System files
himem.sys
emm386.exe

Also need to note:
The himem needed must be the one from Windows 98 itself.
If you use the version from the moderator, it will restart without reason!
Needless to say about emm386.exe!
This file CTSYN.INI must be edited.
Point to the path of the DEFAULT.ECW file.
Also, the *.ECW files are mimd tone library files.
There are several versions,
dostest.ecw 470k
DEFAULT.ECW 2150k
eapci2m.ecw 2150k
eapci4m.ecw 4750k
eapci8m.ecw 7900k
These files are all usable and interchangeable.
It depends on how you use them.
I used the smallest one in my boot CD because of limited space!
Also need to note that
SBEINIT.COM should be loaded before
SMARTDRV.EXE
PC-CACHE.COM
XMSDSK.EXE
RAMDRIVE.SYS
Such files, otherwise it cannot be loaded successfully.
If you must load them,
such files can also be loaded after SBEINIT.COM is loaded.
End

May I ask which "HIMEM.SYS" of the moderator refers to? Which one is the one with a size of how many KB?

The disk you have! Only 4K

No way?? The HIMEM.SYS in my MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk is not 4KB, but 10KB! The 4KB one is not in my boot disk.

The following is a quote from Shen Jie on 2003-5-25 9:15:23:
There is also something to note:
The required himem must be the one自带by win98,

Is that so??
I tried using QEMM7.0, 8.0 and QEMM97 and it worked without problems too.....

I just refer to that 4K himem.sys!

Which part of my disk was that?

I don't know why it's so small!

Written in detail, it should be classified as an essence post.
Thank you, Xiao Jie, for bringing such a good article.

Who can explain this sound card, SoundBlaster PC128, Model CT4700, how to set it up? It's better to include the content of the setup file sndscape.ini. I have installed the DOS driver, but my computer always says it can't find the PCI Audio Driver.

The model of my SB PCI128 sound card is CT4750. The driver method is as follows:

Under pure DOS: Download files such as SBINIT.COM, and when driving, directly enter (LH) SBINIT. Note that its configuration file is not SNDSCAPE.INI but SBPCI.INI. And there should also be ECW files.

Under DOS window: Set the relevant virtual settings in the "Device Manager" for the DOS mode.

The following is a quote from Wengier on 2003-5-28 20:05:51:
In the DOS window: You can set the relevant virtual settings for the DOS mode in the "Device Manager".

Moderator, then how to set it up??

Generally speaking, when installing the sound card driver for Win9x, the virtual settings of the DOS window are automatically set, so you usually don't need to worry about this.
