How to re-compile with support for modern PCI cards? There is a library somewhere; I know Kruchkrau (sp?) DOS port of Mplayer which has WSS library and supports some modern IDH soundcards (unfortunately not my latest, which is Ice Lake i5 10th gen). I think there is a code repository where these modern PCI sounds cards can be incorporated into projects such as EDuke32, but not sure how or if the code is compatible.

Even latest version of MPXPlay 1.64 does not support modern PCI in Kaby lake, Sky lake and Ice Lake SOC chips. I should ask Mplay author, but I get silent output even on my i7 5500, and -scc option doesn't enable sound on laptop. I think the problem is to enable headphone or speaker output is failing...

QDOS does not support modern sounds cards, either?
