755C Audio Drivers for DOS Games

[mimarsinan]

So I've been busy setting this `new` system up.

PC-DOS 6.3, Windows 3.1 (going to give OS/2 a go next).

The problem is, games like Flight Simulator 5 are hanging at the boot screen (or shortly thereafter) if I've loaded config.sys and autoexec.bat with the Soundblaster emulation drivers. The driver readme's contain verbiage like "these drivers are not for heavy duty gaming, only for light use" which isn't very reassuring.

Then I found another batch of `mwave` drivers, which came with their own sets of issues (no sound in Windows, and a strange mode in DOS to turn Soundblaster emulation on/off). I am not sure if these drivers were even intended for the 755C (or not).

Does anyone have any experience with this here? I am happy to go into more details and provide boot file snippets and detailed driver references; I wanted to start with the summary first in case I'm missing some obvious context. Thank you!
