Hi all,

After many attempts, I cannot get FX audio working with Tyrian.
I get, at the closure of the setup.exe, the following message:
Sound FX Error #254 occurred after sound initialization.

Any idea of what is the root cause?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Thanks for posting a question about this game, I used to play this a lot and forgot it existed.

If you put AO486 into SoundBlaster Pro mode the FM sound works. You can do that with the sbctl.exe (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_M ... /sbctl.exe).
To put it back in SoundBlaster 16 mode:
(This isn't permanent, restart the core and it will default back to SB16)

You probably shouldn't need to do this, but the emulation might be confusing the auto-detect sound hardware routines. It's not immediately obvious what about the emulation is giving a Sound FX Error #254.

For anyone else who hasn't played this game, it's freeware and you can download it here:

Thanks a lot user7182 for your reply. I will give a try.
