Subject: DOOM 1.1 worked, but in 1.2 effects crap out on level 2

I'll be happily playing DOOM version 1.2 through most (and sometimes all) of
level 1, but then something happens.  I fire the gun and instead of *BANG* I get
squeek, bloop, bloop, beep and it continues for the rest of the game or just
goes silent (unless I restart DOOM).  The music remains fine, it's only the
sound effects that get screwed up.

I've tried a variety of IRQs (7 and under) and DMAs (including 1) but it doesn't
help.  I've also tried using EMM386 vs QEMM version 7.03 but that doesn't help
either.

Has anyone else seen this behavior or have a suggestion?

Subject: Hallowen harry and gus

I tried using Halloweem Harry with the Blaster setting = 220 5 1 1 
but when i tried to use their gus driver the computer locks up.
So I tried using SBOS 3.7, but then I get no sound.  Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Thanks for all the good suggestions/comments - they were all correct.

The GUS I bought, just last week, was a really wicked deal (less than $130
Canadian funds) - so I just paid and ran. Yes, the GUS was not the latest
version - therefore it did not include the composing software. I went back
to the re-seller and they, of course, said I got a great deal and I shouldn't
be complaining (something along those lines) - they recommended I keep bugging
Gravis for updated software. I've sent in my registration card last week and
hopefully Gravis will see it in their corporate hearts to send me update disks.

Thanks again all.

Subject: MTM files

 MTM files can be played by two methods:
1) Using the Multitrack Editor itself (MMED101.ZIP), or
2) Using DMP.

I personally recommend using the actual editor. DMP tends to drop a few
notes occasionally especially with larger .MTMs, and in some cases will
not play an .MTM correctly at all.

Umm... _which_ new Windows drivers?

You are probably using an old version of the mixer with the new drivers.
The noise you're hearing is the mic input being left on (the old mixer
does not correctly enble/disable inputs and outputs under the new Windows
drivers).  Copy the new mixer, which should be in the same file you got 
the new drivers from, over top of your old mixer.

Phat.
