Hi,
about a month ago I bought a then brand new computer.
Specs: AMD K6-II 3d 400, 64MB RAM, 4.3 GB HDD,
ESS Soundblaster (that's the problem I think), cheap graphic
card, Windows 98 SE (german)
Well, it seems like although there's a little program called
essolo.com and essolo.sys which is supposed to be a "DOS
SoundBlaster emulation" (that's what it says in its own status
message), sound in TTD does not work. Nor does it in any
other DOS program. However, sounds works quite well in
Windows 98. I mean, the driver even sets the BLASTER
environ var yet still TTD's install can't find the sound card.
Has anybody have had similar or the same problem? Any
fixes or workarounds for that?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

HOW TO GET THE SOUND TO WORK FOR TRANSPORT TYCOON AND TTDLX
===========================================================
A frequent complain when playing Transport Tycoon or Transport Tycoon
DeLuxe under Windows95 or Windows98 is that their is a problem with the
sound, most often that sound effects don't work.
The secret is that the sound settings in Windows, those set by
AUTOEXEC.BAT and those set by Transport Tycoon's INSTALL.EXE must be the
same. In addition, TT only appears to work with certain sound settings.
The fussy figures are those for input / output range, IRQ and primary
DMA.
The first thing to do is to check your Windows settings. From "MY
Computer" open the Control Panel, select System and then Device Manager.
Scroll down to Sound, Video and Game Controllers, where your sound card
should have an entry, hopefully in a SoundBlaster emulation. Click of
Properties, and then Resources in the new pop up box. Look at the
settings for the Interrupt Request, Direct Memory Access (if there's
more than one, the first figure), and Input/Output Range (the first
figure). If these are set at IRQ5, A220, DMA1, you have a standard set
up, and you should have no problems. It might be an idea to uncheck the
"Use automatic Settings" box and enter the values manually to ensure
Windows can't change them. If you have other figures, your first step
should be to see if standard settings can be accepted.
Uncheck the "Use Automatic Settings" Box, and enter the values above
manually. Check the "Conflicting Device List". If this shows no
conflicts, skip the next paragraph.
If the address of A220 has a conflict, the best idea will be to force
the device using it to use another value. The procedure is much the
same, but if you need help, just ask. If IRQ5 has a conflict, try
IRQ10, which is known to work correctly with TT. IRQ7 also works for
TT, but is almost always allocated to LPT1 (your printer port). IRQ2,
although listed as an option for TT, does not appear to work. If DMA1
has a conflict, try DMA3.
Make a note of the Windows settings you have settled on. Using your
favourite text editor (Notepad or EDIT.COM, for example), call up your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, found in the root directory of C:. This should have
a line such as:
SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D1 H5 P300 E620 T6
The first three figure are the important ones. Make sure the figure
following A is the primary address set in Windows (hopefully 220), I is
the IRQ and D the DMA. If they are different, edit the file to make them
agree.
It is a good idea to edit your AUTOEXEC.DOS file to make it agree too,
although this will only affect working in MS-DOS mode.
Save all files, close all windows and reboot. Now start the TT
INSTALL.EXE, and enter the same values as you have put in Windows System
and AUTOEXEC.BAT. All being well, you can now enjoy Transport Tycoon
in all its noisy glory!
Good luck, and enjoy the game.
emulates a basic SoundBlaster quite well. If you want drivers and
details, ESSTech have a website: http://www.esstech.com
As for your problem with Transport Tycoon, I've written a little Help

I often refer to my SB as being forced by me to use 220-300-388, IRQ10,

The present setup works, and that's good enough for me!
