DOS/Win 3.11
It is important in DOS to set the Soundblaster variable so that programmes know how to address the sound card.
#Autoexec.bat
SET SOUND=C:\driver\sound\SB20
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T3
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
#Config.sys
DEVICE=C:\DRIVER\SOUND\SB20\CTSB2.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=a220 I:5 D:1
DEVICE=C:\DRIVER\SOUND\SB20\CTMMSYS.SYS
Packages

Sound problems
Windows no sound in DOS mode
- Install/start DOS driver
- Install SB16 Emulation
No music
- Check settings, is the address correct?
No TFX sound
- Check settings, SIMM, Address, IRQ, DMA...
IRQ Busy
- BIOS IRQ Search Reset
- Assign IRQ in BIOS
- Use another slot (usually means another IRQ too)
- Reserve IRQ for ISA (it will then not be available for PCI)
IRQ nicht für Dos geeignet
- Reserve IRQ for ISA (it will then not be available for PCI)
- See IRQ Occupied
Choppy sound with interruptions
This can happen if the IRQ is doubly assigned. For this, please look at the solutions for „IRQ Occupied“.
Loud humming from the speakers
Wenn ein modernes Netzteil verwendet wir fehlen sehr warscheinlich die -5V. Entweder man verwendet ein altes Netzteil oder ein Gerät wie den VoltageBlaster. This one uses the -12V and a voltage regulator to supply the mainboard with -5V.

CMS Update
Gibts in der Bucht für rund 15-25€. Dafür gibt es 3 ICS 2x Philips SAA1099P and a GAL IC.
Conclusion
| 123Besc, description | Worth |
|---|---|
| Successfully Installed | Yes – it wasn't a problem |
| Price | ~85 € |
| Function | OK |
| Is it worth it | Ja – weil es ein stück 8Bit Geschichte ist. No because the price is far too high. |
| Einschränkungen | 8 Bit ISA was für alte PCs, Mono Sound, Adlib kompatibel und die CMS Phillips chips können auch noch nachgerüstet werden und man erhält für die Efekte Stereo Sound. |
