What to do if there is no sound when playing a DOS game on my SOYO Motherboard?
If you're experiencing a lack of sound while playing a DOS game, it might be due to a conflict in the SB16 settings. To resolve this, rerun the A3CONFIG.EXE utility and try different Port, DMA, or IRQ addresses.
Why is there no “Sound” or “MIDI Sequencer” item in the Device pull-down menu in the Media Player when using my SOYO SY-5EMM?
The absence of the “Sound” or “MIDI Sequencer” item in the Device pull-down menu of the Media Player, or the failure of the alsrack.exe application, indicates that the MIDI software driver may not be loaded. To fix this, run the A3CONFIG.EXE utility in its entirety.
