***DISCLAIMER***These are settings which we have found allow this card to work best with our games. This is not the be-all-end-all of how to set up this sound card in DOS. Should you experience any difficulties with the settings and suggestions that we provide, please contact the MANUFACTURER for more in-depth technical support. Remember, the second you feel uncomfortable about tinkering with your system's configuration, contact a tech. The important thing here is to get your game running, not to screw your system up like some do-it-yourself spice rack. With that disclaimer out of the way, this page will start with the basic CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT lines you should use in your shortcut or bootdisk to initialize your card for use in DOS. It will be followed by more specific techinical specifications that you might find handy. Good Luck! --Origin CS Web Team
