Hi,
first up please excuse my bad english, it is not my mother tounge. :lol:
I love retro gaming, so i finally saved up some money and bought myself a Siemens Xpert 7800 PC from Ebay wich was designed for Windows 98. It came with an onboad soundcard and an onboard GPU (Ati Rage Pro Turbo AGP). I freshly installed Windows 98 SE on the internal 6 GB Western Digital harddrive and after installing all the drivers i found on the internet everything seemed to work.
But then i tried out games like Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Doom. The music played just fine (General Midi) but after a while of gaming (or just after some restarts of the games) the Sound FX went completely silent. I could not seem to find a solution. I tried out some VDM drivers, but they did not work either. After a whole System restart everything works fine for a moment, then the Sound FX disappear again.
I think the drivers currently in use are the normal Microsoft Sound drivers included with Windows 98 SE.

Does anyone know this problem?
I really appreciate your help!
