DOS Compatibility Card: IRQ settings Hard Coded (1/95)


I have the option in a MS-DOS application program to change the Sound Blaster IRQ setting through the software. However when I do, I still hear music. Why?

IRQ settings on the DOS Compatibility Card for the Power Macintosh are hard coded. However, the Synthesis portion of the card still functions with the invalid IRQ settings. If you Select digital sound with the invalid IRQ settings, you will not hear anything. You need to select the proper IRQ settings for the card in order to use both part of the Sound Blaster card.
