ackmangogo Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hi guys, I got Orphues sound card with portwell ruby-9719 mobo in Windows Xp, because the limited ioport range this board can handle, Tiido says here http://www.tmeeco.eu/TKAYBSC/RUBYISA.TXT So I configured Orpheus sound card to use WSS port: a34-a37 WSS control port: a38 and this works fine in DOS and Linux. Windows xp let me chose 4 WSS port range below 0530-0537 0604-060B 0E80-0E87 0F40-0F47 all of them are not reachable for this mobo, when I tried to set port range to 0A34-0A37, I got this message Is possible to enforce Windows XP use the a34-a37 ports. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 The XP driver might be for the wrong card. Check the .inf file; you might be able to change the port addresses there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackmangogo Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Tried with different version crystal wdm drivers, still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Check the .inf file! Also try putting the card in a different slot. XP might show different port options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainyShadow Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) @ackmangogo Maybe try to boot DOS first and do the configuring there. Then start grub4dos using the DOS executable and chainload NTLDR to boot XP without restarting. Edited August 13, 2022 by RainyShadow typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodmaneuver Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just a thought, I have found that ISA boards that share the same physical positioning as a PCI card do not have frequency dividers to set back the clock frequency. A good ISA slotted board has more space between the PCI slot and the ISA slot and within this space there will be some chips. I have had much trouble with ISA cards not working with this type of motherboard arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried program the EEPROM on sound card to set 0A34-0A37 as default WSS port, start from here, sound card configured properly already. Freedos, Win98, Linux will take the default WSS port value from EEPROM, WInXp does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnation Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 @ackmangogo I'm not sure if it'll make much of a difference but maybe try disabling ACPI and set resources manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or set the "Plug and Play compatible OS" to "No" in BIOS setup, if this option is available. It would force the BIOS to configure the devices on startup instead of leaving it to the OS.

ackmangogo Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 After 2 years, got it works finally. Disable device -> modify registry -> re-enbale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
