that which works fine for you. Remember you don't need to run the soundconfiguration for Exult.

Funny, I don't remember this being a PC Tutorial forum.

*deep breath*
What version of Windows are you using? What kind of sound card(s) do you have? What are the IRQs and DMA settings for them as reported by Device Manager in windows? These are the sorts of things we need to know before we could begin to help.

More to the point, if you're using U7win9x and U8win9x as it sounds like you are then there is gallons of useful info on how to get the games running with sound cards on the homepage of those two utilities (http://members.iinet.net.au/~rsd/U7inWindows.html). Check there first, as it already says pretty much everything any of us could suggest in this matter.
