DOS ain't dead - ISA Sound Card

SB16 and AWE32 besides DMA use the HighDMA. Some programs use the HDMA and don't work with the normal DMA settings.

Typical BLASTER variable in autoexec.bat is:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330

D=normal, 8bit DMA
H=high(extended) 16bit DMA

You might try to determine the correct settings also by hardware detection programs like HWinfo or NSSI (both are for DOS)

BTW: isn't the DMA 3 als used for hard disk access?
