|AFAIK, you should set BLASTER environment var in your autoexec.bat
|Did you try a setup tool from Allegro distribution ?
|And the last one, I have a couple WAV files which plays fine under
|WINNT/95
|but not in Allegro.

I've tried everything you have mentioned already. I decided to hack about
with the allegro sound library myself and have found what I think might be a
problem. The DSP chip on my INTEL mothboard returns 301 as the DSP version
number. I found this using the following code:

printf("SB DSP Version : %x",_sb_read_dsp_version());

The setup utility states that all SB boards (and clones) except SB16 driver
are 8bit. The setup utility and allegro (yes I know they're the same thing)
will not let me use the SB16 driver.

This must be wrong as my card has a 16bit stero DAC and can run other DOS
applications in 16bit stero.

I really now need some help!
