CDDA and game audio worked fine if I ran a DOS game using a CD, but CDDA didn't play at all (and gameplay suffered major slowdowns) while running from an emulated drive. ![]() I have working DOS drivers and a SET BLASTER line in my AUTOEXEC which is also loaded while booting Win98. I have an ISA SB16 (with VXD drivers), Win98 and Alcohol 120%. I battled with this for a few days and finally found a "solution". I think it's more a communication issue between Daemon Tools and the OS, which might require DX9 files or files from the core update files?Īnyway, hopefully others could give this a shot if you have the time □ So I don't think VXD / WDM drivers are the root cause. WDM drivers: Creative SB PCI (Audio PCI) and Audigy LS VXD drivers: Audican 32 Plus with Yamaha chipset, Vortex 2 and Sound Blaster 16 ![]() For example I didn't try just installing DX9 (it actually didn't work for me without the core updates) and I didn't try DX8 for example.Īlso, before I figured all that out, I did try various sound cards: I am still not 100% confident about this workaround, and some steps might not be necessary. The Vortex drivers are the recommended 2041 drivers (VXD). This broke Audio CD playback again □Īfter this you can do the same workaround with DXDIAG as above and now Audio CD tracks play in OpenGL and D3D games. Now to play D3D games I installed DirectX7. To get Audio CD tracks playing in OpenGL games, such as Quake or Quake II, I ran DXDIAG > select audio tab > move acceleration slider all the way to the left, then press the "test audio button" and complete all tests.Īt this point, GLQuake and Quake II played the Audio CD tracks. At this point I haven't installed DirectX! Mounted various BIN/CUE games > confirmed that CD Audio tracks don't play (HDD activity shows streaming going on, but no sounds) Installed Installer 2.0 (Daemon Tools 3.47 needs that) Device manager > Moved DVD drive to letter O: This is what worked for me on a Slot 1 Pentium III with Matrox G550 and Vortex 2 PCI card as well as Netgear PCI NIC. ![]() I might have a workaround and need some testers please. Anyone else you doesn't have luck with playing CD Audio tracks in Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%?
