ARG Lousy Sound Blaster

Ok, this sound card is very odd...

In certain older apogee games like Duke Nukem 2 and Monster Bash the digitial sound does not work. The set blaster variable is set ok, and God of thunder's sound test is positive. Other games work fine...

Anyone know why these two won't work?

You need EMS memory to let the digital sounds work in Monster Bash.

Yeah, I knew about that from a long time ago. Unfortunatley this already exists in my config:

DEVICE=EMM386.EXE RAM

(excuse my syntax if its wrong I'm just doing this from memory)

If I type mem It tells me I have EMS.....

I'm using Windows 98, I've had history of getting it working so maybe it doesn't like the card?
