Question: My machine has a Yamaha ds-xg (724) sound card. How do I load the sound card driver after restarting Win98 into MS-DOS mode? I installed cmdos.zip downloaded from this site, which is Yamaha's driver installation/configuration files (both 16-bit and 8-bit SB emulation can produce sound), but it still doesn't work . How should it be configured? Because I want to listen to MP3s under DOS, using dosamp0.8. Why is it that when I use the following command: dosamp file.mp3 it then shows: File Init: Opening 01.MP3... Success Reading header... Success! File Information: Channels : 2 Samplerate: 44100 hz Bitrate : 128 kbits/sec jSound Init: Checking for user supplied "driver.jsd"... Not found Initializing drivers: jSound Soundblaster Driver (Version 1.00) jSound InterWave Driver (Version 0.99) Detecting hardware: No sound device found! Looks like there is a problem with the sound card configuration. Please, experts, give this student some guidance! Thanks in advance!

You probably didn't install the sound card driver properly, or you didn't install SB-LINK. Mine is also a 724 sound card. Below is its DOS driver. Open attachment

Thanks to the moderator for providing the driver! I just got home from Beijing yesterday. After installing the driver it still doesn't work . Using setupds.exe in the driver package to set dma: 0, dma mode: the third option, then 16bit, 8bit, and fm can all be tested with sound... all can produce sound normally. But after saving the settings, regardless of whether I reboot the computer or not, dosamp says DMA timeout when playing music, and dss says Sound Blaster series device not found: Sound Blaster or compatible not detected . Is it because SB-Link isn't installed, or should I use other software to play mp3? My machine is a Tianhe 660, and the motherboard is VIA applo pro 133 (693A). I didn't find any 5-pin SB-Link connector on the motherboard! Please take the trouble to help me look at it again! Thanks!

Then there's no way. A 724 sound card needs SB-LINK to emulate an ISA sound card and use DMA1 and IRQ5.

Let me add a couple of words. YAMAHA DS-XG PCI Audio CODEC (WDM) YAMAHA DS-XG Legacy Sound System (WDM) YAMAHA DS-XG GamePort This is the sound card information for a Toshiba Satellite 2800. Does that mean it's impossible to use it under DOS? Thanks...

<! Looks like I can only change the motherboard or sound card! Sorry to trouble the moderator, many thanks, many thanks! Once I get it sorted out, I'll come back and say what the solution was. ]>
