If I recall, I had to edit my SYSTEM.INI file and remove duplicate lines that said WAVE1= or WAVE2=. Correct me if I'm wrong, somebody, but it seems that if you install sound drivers on top of old drivers, it keeps the old but renames them as WAVE1 or WAVE2, etc. Anyway, if I recall, this worked for me. I don't think it's a problem with the sound card installation (I consider the SB-16's Windows install routine to be remarkably intelligent). S/ /M
