Ok, I've installed the driver, and now (thank god) the card is recognized in dos. I'm using a sound utility that comes with TIE Fighter to test the sound. When I tell it to detect sound, it detects the SB16, detects port 220, irq 5, and dma 1, but when it tries to play sound, it goes through the motions, but nothing comes out of the speakers. Before, it wouldn't detect anything at all, so we're definitely making progress. When I tell windows to detect the sound card, it goes to irq 7. I don't know why windows is picking 7 and dos is picking 5, but I'm assuming dos is running off of the SET BLASTER= I5 variable and windows is going off of something else entirely. So now the card is recognizing, everything is running smoothly, the only thing left is... actually making the speakers do something? Thanks for the help so far! Also: Important to note, the readme file for the drivers says that your sound blaster pci card cannot use irq 5. At the same time, it gives you a new autoexec.bat file with the irq set to 5. Odd? Hit me back.
