Hi, As mentioned, sadly, most "classic" (old) DOS software knows nothing about cards outside of a limited range like SB16 and GUS. Everything newer (e.g. AC97 or HDA) is almost always incompatible. So it's unlikely you can just "plug in" a driver to make it work. If you can recompile some apps

Hey, I need to know how to find, figure out, configure or whatever my sound driver. I need a driver for my sound card, but I don't know how to do it. If this helps at all, somehow Mpxplay magically got the sound to play through my PC speakers, while all my other programs and games (mostly the ga
