Thanks for the tips, I'll play around with it and see what I can find out.
I've got it setup in non-PNP mode, as that's the only way it will run in
win9x. The only thing I couldn't decipher from the above is the
kernel/module stuff there at the end :). Hopefully none of that applies
though, as I'm running 2.0.36 currently - I figure if I can't get the sound
to work, I probably shouldn't attempt recompiling/upgrading my kernel just
yet!

One more thing I'll mention someone might be able to help out with. I found
some drivers for this card on freshmeat, and they seem like they might do
the trick, but unfortunately I can't get them to compile. The documentation
is sparse and written for those who really don't need any documentation, so
it's a bit difficult. I've tried make all, make Makefile, etc, but there are
always compilation errors. I'm guessing the code is fine, but I am missing
something I need to compile this correctly. My best guess (although it may
be something much simpler) is within the tar there is a (I think) script
called linux-config, and it seems I need to do something with that in order
to set things up to compile correctly. To run a script, is it just "sh
linux-config <options>", or is there something else I might need to do?

Thanks again for all the help,

Tom
