Wolf3D sound/music problem

Post by FunkyMoe »

I downloaded wolfenstein 3d om my pc but i cant get digital sound or music for the game. It wont let me select it in the options menu. I have windows 98 with a Diamond Stealth III S540 sound card. Is there anything i can install or do to give me digital sound and music?

How old is your audia card? Some may not support newer audio cards.

Unfortunately you're probably out of luck, Wolf3D really hates Windows. If you were running XP you could try VDMSound, but that doesn't work in Win98. You could try running DOSBox:

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

It's a DOS emulator that runs some games better than Windows does.

Other than that, you can make a boot disk if Diamond provides DOS drivers for your card. Check their website for DOS drivers, but I feel the liklihood of them providing DOS drivers is not too good ... :(

There is a beta version of VDMSound for 98. http://ntvdm.cjb.net
