Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Attempting to install Soundblaster 16 isa sound card. In dos, blaster.exe spits out correct parameters. Another utility also gives parameters for the card. Drivers load for card. No sound is emitted at all. Long time ago thought someone mentioned that soundblasters need to be intitialized or sound is set to zero on card. Am I on the right track? Tried card on OS/2 and Linux. Players go through motion of playing file, drivers load, again no sound. If drivers load and card is recognized that means card is functional?
