The PAS is one of the nicer cards.  It has both 16 bit and a full SB 8
bit card on one.  If you aren't getting sounds in DOS, it might be
because OS/2 sets it up by default without the SB side enabled.  You
could check out the manuals, but I will enclose my Config.sys lines for
you:
DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\MVPRODD.SYS /T:1 /I:10 /D:5 /S:1,220,1,5 /N:PAS161$
DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\AUDIOVDD.SYS PAS161$
Of course, you will have to change the interrupts to suit your system.
This works well for me.
For some sounds though, I do need to load the DOS mixer and device
driver.  My older PAS (lableled Thunder Audio Spectrum 16) does not
initialize MIDI sounds correctly unless I load the DOS mixer with the
DOS driver in the settings menu.  That one reads like this:
DOS Device:
D:\SPECTRUM\MVSOUND.SYS D:5 Q:10 J:0 S:1,220,1,5 V:80
If I do this, the MIDI is initialized and the sounds play fine.  If not,
no MIDI sounds, and it interferes with the .WAV sounds as well.  At that
point, a reboot will set the card back in order.
Hope this helps,
Stephen
