- PART 5 - Brief Trouble-Shooting Session
-
- Problem: OS/2 cannot detect your sound card and/or CD-ROM
- Solution: Ensure that the BASEDEV=MAD16.ADD... line is located at the
- very first line of your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- Problem: No startup sound when starting OS/2
- Solution: Check if System Sound is enabled
-
- Problem: Sounds keep repeating
- Solution: This is due to an interrupt conflict on your system. To
- use a different interrupt selection, open the CONFIG.SYS
- file for editing and change the SBIRQ option in the
- MAD16.ADD line to a different interrupt. Be sure also to
- specify the same option for the Sound Blaster Pro
- compatible driver line as well. The Sound Blaster Pro
- compatible driver line is usually denoted by:
- C:\MMOS2\SBP2D2.SYS...
-
- Problem: DOS games do not work under OS/2 DOS session
- Solution: Run OS/2 Add Programs located in the System Setup folder
- to ask OS/2 to add the set of DOS games on your system.
- This allows OS/2 to setup the DOS session settings best
- suited for your individual games such as DOOM.
-
- If the DOS game still does not run, this may be due to
- the incompatibility of the game with OS/2. Consult the
- OS/2 newsgroup - comp.os.os2.games on the internet for
- FAQs relating to this subject, or the FTP site -
- hobbes.nmsu.edu.
-
- Problem: IDE CD-ROM does not work
- Solution: Ensure that the IDE CD-ROM jumper is closed on your sound
- card. Consult your sound card manual for details.
