I recently purchased a 386-33 from a local company called PC express. The
motherboard is made by Wedge. When I first installed software from my old
computer, most sound programs wouldn't work. That is, they would run but know
sound would come out. However, a program that plays the William Tell overture
played just fine. I figured that whatever sound chip Wedge uses was
incompatible with some of the programs.
Well, the other day I was going through a buch of ZIP's I'd archived off to
floppies. One of these was a sound program called PLAY (I think) that has
a demo program to play a buch of recorded sounds. This demo ran fine and after
it was done SAYTIME and XMASSONGS worked too!
I rebooted the machine tried SAYTIME again and it failed like above. I
eventually found out that after I used PLAY to play any two sounds SAYTIME, etc
would work.
So does anyone have any clue as to what's going on? Is there something screwed
up with software or hardware?
Thanks
