DOS Compatibility Card: Troubleshooting Sound Problems (2/95)


I have a DOS Compatibility Card installed in my computer, but for some reason am not able to get any sounds to play from DOS or Windows. Even the DOS system beep does not work. My PC Setup control panel has the sound set to Auto Enable. All the Macintosh sounds play correctly. What is wrong?

Check the following:

Ensure first that the PC Setup control panel has the sound set to Auto Enable.

Make sure that the audio cable is correctly attached between the DOS Compatibility Card and the Macintosh logic board.

Check the Sound control panel's Sound In settings:
Step 1: Click the Options button.
Step 2: Click on the CD icon (visible even if you do not have an internal CD).
Step 3: Click the PlayThrough button.

This lets you play DOS and Windows sounds through the Macintosh speaker.
