Simply use SoundBlaster 16 (NOT PnP) with:
A220 I5 D1 H5

Hi Andreas - how do I change this post-installation?  Sorry, it's been so long since I used OS/2 regularly that I have forgotten how to do certain things, such as changing drivers.   Do I just change the DEVICE directive in config.sys to the above values?  Or do I need to install the driver from the ArcaOS CD somehow?

The DEVICE statement that contains SB16D2.SYS should be modified.

/C:1 /D:1 /H:5 /I:5 /A:220 /N:SBAUD1$ /P

At least I found the Drivers, have to test if I can integrate them......

ArcaOS DVD:\CID\SERVER\MMOS2\DRIVERS....

-> Minstall is not working
-> Try to install it with "Install Device Driver" Fails as well...

will try it manually...

Its the same minstall as eCS had in the background.

Type minstall /?

You will need to type minstall /F: and full path to control.scr.

Later you can run stpm.exe to select UNIAUD as the *default* audio card.

Hi Roderick,

thanks! It worked this way:

I copied the Directory SB16 from DVD:\CID\SERVER\MMOS2\DRIVERS\.. to drive C and then typed:

Minstall /F:C:\SB16\Control.scr

With the first attempt I forgot to select "1" and so on, but in the end it worked!

Has the PM Minstall been deleted? Why?

EDIT: selected SoundBalster 1.5 in WINOS2 and have Sound there right as well - I am happy now  ;)

Didn't work for me, went back to having no sound. I installed the driver using the control.src and set the SB16 device as mentioned, but... silence.

I am going to try a fresh reinstall later today.  Meanwhile, I have different problems on real hardware...  :'(

I think that it may be a Mac specific issue. I just created a fresh VM and selected SB16 on the guest settings and SB16 non PnP in the installer. No sound.

Should I raise a bug report do you think?

Hi,

did you press "1" and then Enter in the first menue (the one that appaers when you start the minstall - see Picture Virtual16 please)  The first time I just pressed ENTER and allthough it ended with Success it did not work. So I started again, selected 1 and then Enter and then some more menues about the irq etc. appeared and then it worked.
One difference was i.e. when I only pressed Enter, the last 5 lines at the command prompt of the Picture Virtual17 did not occur.
Hope that helps

Yes, I pressed 1 followed by enter.

The driver was installed, I could see the entry in Config.sys. Just, no sound.

I also tried it.
But no sound.

SB16D2.SYS is not registered in config.sys.
add
 DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\SB16D2.SYS /C:1 /A:220 /I:5 /D:1 /H:5 /M:300 /B:24 /N:SBAUD1$ /P
and reboot.
Load the driver, but no sound.

Same PC&Virtual BOX、eComStation 2.1 no problems.

Sorry,I'm not good at English.

Thanks Sigurd. That's exactly the line I had after running the minstall command on the drivers from the ISO. But no sound to be heard. No errors either, for that matter.

I think t must be the combination of VBox for Mac + ArcaOS that is the issue, as I think nyao is also on a Mac?

Like him, I have no problem with audio under eCS (1.2R in my case) and VBox for Mac. 

I have raised a ticket with Arca Noae: https://mantis.arcanoae.com/view.php?id=1075

Possibly uniaud needs to be uninstalled?
