 Ac> Just to understand your setup:

I have tried in full screen from Windows 98 and I have tried booting
and pressing F8 and selecting command prompt only. In both scenarios the
sound issue is the same.

 Ac> - I don't know if it only applies to ISA-PNP card or also to PCI:

 When I select restart in DOS it loads the drivers for DOS.

 Ac> - Does the DIAGNOSE tool from the SoundBlaster driver set output
 Ac> digital   sounds and also MIDI sounds? The first part would provide
 Ac> sound effects in   games and the other part provides music, usually.

 There is no DIAGNOSE tool, but instead there is a SBTEST I can run. It
tests fine both in Windows and from the DOS prompt for digital audio and
MIDI audio.

 Ac> - Is the BLASTER variable set correctly?

Yes, the blaster variable is declared properly too.

 Ac> - Which sound card settings are active in the game?

The sound card settings are set for Adlib/Soundblaster for both audio
and music.
