Does anyone out there own a Zoltrix Audio Plus II PC Sound Card ?  This
card claims 100% Sound Blaster compatibility and until now I have never
had any problems.  When playing DOOM I have music but no sound effects. 
This problem seems to be common amongst owners on non-SB boards but I have
never read of any solutions for a Zoltrix card.  I have a 386-25 w/ 4 megs
and the card and DOOM are set at IRQ 7.  Do I need some kind of driver to
have some sound effects ?  Suggestions much appreciated.  Thanks !

I have the same problem. Same card on a 486dx40. The guys at id sent me
the sound test software for Doom v1.2 (I have 1.1) and everything works.
I'm just going to wait for 1.2 to be released. (That is, unless anyone has
a fix for v1.1)

Same here.  I have a Zoltrix on a 486DLC/33 that works just fine with
everything I have tried EXCEPT Doom (Damn!!).

I have tried disabling IRQs, setting jumpers and rebooting with no luck.

Someone once mentioned that Doom doesn't like to see anything on IRQ2.
Dos 'MSD' says that IRQ2 is 'Second 8259A' and IRQ9 is 'redirected IRQ2'.
It also says that 'Cascaded IRQ2' is enabled.

Anyone know what has a hold of IRQ2 and could that be my problem???
