GP2 Sound problem in DOS

3 posts by 2 people · 23 Apr 1997 - 01 May 1997

Anybody else encounter "warbilly" music in GP2 when running under DOS? I have; P133 i430VX generic motherboard - which I am unable to overclock :( SB16 I used to have a P75 & old Triton MB and did not have this problem (got tired of playing at 15 FPS). Is there a DMA setting on the MB or SB card that needs to be set so that the music plays properly? The music plays fine when I run the game under Win95 but I think I take a hit on the FPS. Not a big problem, I know, but it would be nice to get it fixed. Thanks Randy Wilson Randy Wilson

Let me take a wild guess. . . Could you have an Award BIOS? If so, I would look into get the most recent BIOS flash for your motherboard. This sounds like an old problem with early version of the Award BIOS for the HX/VX chipsets. Is your CD-ROM hooked up to your soundcard or the IDE on your motherboard? -- **************************** Michael E.

Thanks, I'll try that. Both, IDE cable to board via HD and a 2 (?) pin connector to the soundcard. Randy >-- >**************************** Michael E.
