- I got a SoundBlaster a couple of weeks ago, and had a problem from the
- start with the CT-VOICE driver ("READ", "Dr. SBAITSO", etc.) under (real)
- DOS (no OS/2). The machine would lock up solid, and I had to do a hardware
- reset. The book said that this was an IRQ conflict. I tried removing
- everything with no luck, but as an act of desperation, I changed the DMA
- channel. Voila!
-
- Now on to OS/2 and MMPM/2. I've tried re-installing the SB drivers for
- MMPM/2 several times. I *have* installed them from a floppy. I have
- tried specifying SB Pro w/ OPL2 and OPL3 (mine is an SB Pro w/ OPL3).
- The symptoms are the same. MID files appear to play, but no sound
- comes out. WAV files play a short (.25 sec) clip over and over. I
- sould mention that I'm using the beta of MMPM/2 from the PDK (10/92, but
- 11/92 appears to be the same).
-
- Does anyone else have MMPM/2 from the PDK working w/ an SB Pro? Can
- you provide some insight as to what my problem may be. I'm virtually
- positive that I don't have an IRQ problem. I had the same results
- using IRQ5 after removing my bus mouse which I know was IRQ5. I had
- started with IRQ10, and now have it set to IRQ2.
-
- Any help would be appreciated, especially since IBM will be including
- MMPM/2 with the base OS/2 starting with the next release (2.1). Yeah,
- IBM.
