GP2 and Sound Blaster PCI64

I'm looking at buying a new sound card and am considering purchasing the Sound Blaster PCI 64. My favourite game is Grand Prix II, however, so I would like to know if anyone has had success running GP2 with this particular sound card. Many thanks, Roland.

From what I've heard, you cannot use a PCI sound card in DOS. Dunno why that would be, but since GP2 is a DOS game.... -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/CSATSM.html - Capt Simian & The Space Monkeys http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 5 Mar

ISA or PCI doesn't matter! What's important is the driver support in DOS. The Terratec PCI sound card I looked at today has DOS support. l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

I have the "Creative" Sound Blaster PCI 64, GP2 works fine from a dos box within Win95 (I say creative as the card is really a Ensonic, the drivers are a half ass conversion something's say creative others still say Ensonic.) I will say this as well....The Direct Sound drivers are yet to be certified And the only game that works with 3D sound is so far incoming... which is a pisser as MTM2 and CPR only work in stereo.

Well I have one and it has worked from me in all the games I have DOS or Win95. It like ANY sound card needs drivers to operate, and the PCI64 has DOS drivers included. John
