Virtualbox sound blaster 16 windows 98

I wouldn't be surprised if both problems have a related cause. I'll be happy to provide anyone in need with the source and executable, as long as I'm not held responsible for anything that may happen with it not very likely.

And the sound stuttered and skipped along so bad, she couldn't play it. So you're not alone in seeing this issue. However, I had no way of knowing if the game "Nancy Drew" was at fault, or if VB was at fault, so I didn't enter a bug ticket.

From your post, you've done the programming and it seems you can pinpoint the problem. If you have not done so already, please enter a new bug ticket. Same thing with the mouse issue -- if you haven't done so, please enter a new bug ticket.

Let us know the bug ticket. Kinda odd that an emulator would be so much faster than a virtualizer in any situation.

I guess some things will never make sense. One more note. I guess that settles it. It's not worth the headache. DosBox must just better at it - more practice I suppose. Please be clear, I am not wanting to discourage you, just to be sure you know what to expect. If you are still game for it we are looking forward to seeing the contribution!

If you have a specific problem, post for other people how to fix it. I just went through it again and made some changes. However, it all worked fine here with the instructions that were there. I followed your instructions very carefully 3 times in a row, but every time I get a flood of rundll32 illegal operation errors.

Reason: Compromised — Web pages that have been compromised by someone other than the site owner, which appear to be legitimate, but house malicious code. Try downloading it with a modern pc then put it into an iso or burn it to a physical dvd and install in the VM that way. Had a fun afternoon installing 98, got the video driver working, seem to have lost ACPI in the process but no matter.

Followed with a happy evening reminding myself of the joy of using 98 after 3. Should mention that I have not yet tried either of those update packages. Use at your own risk but hey, it a VM so worst case gonbak a snapshot. Have now tried both these update packages. The less nervous or more foolhardy may do better.

I may try further options later and see what happens. The official MS update pack does indeed seem to be what it says it is and quickly and easily well, after a typical number of reboots at least install a bunch of security updates, installed IE 6 and Direct x 9. Dear Duncan….. I was able to take a picture of the error message and can send such to you.

I have tried at least 3 other authors and their step by step approaches with no joy. I believe the first error is resulting in the second error. Any thoughts and help would be much appreciated….. I have not yet thrown away all my old 98 software…. When I stepped through the startup and disabled sddhelp. It appears the sddhelp. Hey man great guide. I tried installing the AC97 driver and it appeared to work. Got sound when I booted up, but silent when I tested music in dxdiag.

Keep me posted if you find joy for the AMD processors….. I have followed all of the instructions for the graphics driver. Unsure how to proceed. I did uninstall and reinstall Scitech Display Doctor, but it made no difference. I can play Thandor : Die Invasions, but fortunately… I still got no sound from the game. The game runs smoothly, everything…but no sound. I hope everybody else happy with your tips so they can play their old game in this modern era. ZIP, commented above?

Thank you for all your efforts, I will soon try to apply all your recommendations. I know WHO you are! Yes: you are the only one who is able to squeeze 8 GB out of a fixed disk of 2 GB. I am honoured and privileged! Thank you, Duncan, for this Windows 98 trip! I did forget and was rewarded with the suggestion to format my beautiful and loaded NTFS disk…. Maybe a point to emphasize somewhere inbetween?

Great stuff, still working! The Add Hardware with registry modification method worked perfectly for me. Hoping I can get things working. Found SciTech at MajorGeeks and most of the others around the net. Well the big problem with the VxD sound driver is that it uses the Windows 95 driver model so DirectSound and mixing and all the things WDM audio introduced with Windows 98 will not work.

That takes the fun out of the virtual machine. Might as well use VMware Workstation. Shame on Oracle and VirtualBox to not support the venerable Windows 9x family as guests. Looks like people are still hitting this comment thread. But you also lose decent graphics support. Windows 98SE in VirtualBox starts with plenty of missing files. You need to disable 32bit protected mode harddisk access in system settings by entering safe mode. The nasty thing is that safemode can not be reached in VirtualBox because holding Ctrl or F5 or F8 during boot did nothing.

Great instructions, thanks! Just a heads up, sometimes when running the unofficial service pack 3, the program infex. The Platesteel links worked for me, but had to go from root of win98 directory though did same for as bit7 for SciTech — details in google drive mentioned no download permission. Nothing else stopped buggy installs except your guidance!! Thanks a hell of a lot from Aotearoa. Really bad for games that require DirectSound. I can express how happy I am now!

You should see a CD drive with Sdd7 — double click that then run the scitech-display-doctor-win Either register it or start the 21 day trial. OS will reboot again remember how annoying this used to be? Reboot one more time to be sure.

Hello accelerated Windows desktop! I connect through a local area network LAN. Accept everything except for setting up a mail account. Internet Explorer 5 will load. I recommend that you download Opera 9. Just rename this to opera.
