No specific problem is listed from you, but here is what I have learned.schneida wrote:thank you very much for all the helpful information I could find in this board. I got my Windows 98 gaming setup mostly working, but sound is a big issue for me. I don't know why, but I can't get it to work. Now before you suggest installing the correct drivers and so on, I did that (hopefully):
Can anybody suggest what I should do next....?
The SoundBlaster driver should play major audio files without problems.
There is a problem with the AC97 driver and some programs like Windows Media Player.
If you want to use Windows Media Player and have MIDI, use the SoundBlaster setting and install Yamaha XG70 MIDI simulator (can be hard to find) - otherwise use the AC97 setting and another media player like Winamp (5.35).
Alternative you can switch the VirtualBox audio setting for which audio setup you want.
Experimental you can try to disable the AC97 Mixer in Control Panel->Multimedia->Devices->Mixer Devices->Mixer for Realtek AC97 Audio
Toggling the Audio Output in the status bar or menu while the guest is running could be a solution.
