Hey folks! I'm trying to set up an older PCI sound card on my Windows 11 machine for a retro project. The installation of the drivers seems to be incomplete, and I keep getting this error: "DMA channel not responding. Check BLASTER environment variable or CONFIG.SYS settings." I've made a few adjustments but wonder if Windows 11 can even recognize the older configurations properly. Below are the current contents of my AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
Also, the installer mentions that the card needs "exclusive access to IRQ 5," but I can't find a way to manually set IRQ/DMA anymore in Windows 11. Can anyone help me get this card running or spot any issues in my setup? Thanks!

It sounds like you're really digging into this retro project! Have you tried running the installer in Windows 11’s MS-DOS compatibility mode? That might help mimic the environment the card expects. Just a thought!
