Hello, i currently just bought Privater 1 and it works just fine but i can't get any sound. i have a soundblaster 64 awe but i don't know what i should put in the music/sound options when i install the game. i don't know if you need my
Autoexec but this is whats inside.

C:\>SET SOUND=c:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND

C:\> SET MIDI =SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0

C:\>SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6

C:\>
C:\>


p.s does anyone know what the best older joystick is for priv? i was thinking of a flight stick pro or something.. thanks
 
You're almost there; I think you just need to make a call to CTCM and AWEUTIL, and you're done. As for the joystick, well, that's a matter of some debate.
 
Okay, Dogmeat, here are your new config files:

Config.sys:

DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM 16384 /I=B000-B7FF
FILESHIGH=30
BUFFERSHIGH=30

Autoexec.bat:

@ECHO OFF
SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
LH C:\WINDOWS\CTCM
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\AWEUTIL EM:GM

That should do it, assuming you're playing from the hard drive.
 
ok, i entered the lines but it still doesnt have any sound. i don't know if i put the right settings in when i installed it. ive looked around at other posts and you said sometimes to just leave it with no sound? anyway. you make a dos shortcut from the priv.exe right? thats where i put all that stuff?
 
found creative plug and play card : creative sb awe64 PNP successfully configured 3 of 3 creative plug and play devices blaster environment is at: A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
 
Okay, so it should be working; port 220, IRQ 5, DMA 1.

Maybe I got the command-line argument for AWEUTIL wrong; change the line to

C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND\AWEUTIL /EM:GM
