I just tried running Duke Nukem on my HiNote Ultra, and at setup time it does a soundcheck. No matter what version of soundblaster I try I hear music when it tests the center channel, but here nothing when it tests the left and right channels. This is with both the base unit, and also plugged into the CD-ROM unit. Any idea what type of Soundblaster I should tell it I have, and if this should work ok? Greg

I looked into this tonight and have some more questions. Without the CD-ROM unit I have a ESS Audiodrive setup with the following settings: I/O: 220 IRQ: 5 DMA: 1 But in the profile set-up by the Workbench team, this is disabled when the CD-ROM is installed, and instead I have a Digital PCMCIA Audio, which has a setting of I/O : 240 IRQ : 10 So does the CD-ROM unit have another Soundboard in it with different settings to the one installed in the CD? The more I look into this the more confused I get, any further info, pointers, etc much appreciated!!!! Greg | |||||

Yes, the CD-ROM unit (multimedia module, MMM) does come with a better sound card and three built-in loudspeakers. Sound is definitely better than with the built-in sound module and the mini-speaker. I also disabled the onboard sound card in the configuration that contains the MMM because I ran out of interrupts when using other PCMCIA cards. The settings on my Ultra I match yours as reported in .1 except that my ESS Audiodrive uses a second I/O port at 388. Hope this helps, Hans. | |||||

Hmm, No Dos games will work with the settings that should use the MMM unit, does anyone have DOS games running with this? greg | |||||
