I've seen rudimentary 8-bit sound on a 3.X machine (not the one I'm using now, but an old one with ISA slots), but not 16-bit sound. Apparently it was emulating SBPro, which meant 8-bit only. It looks like I need an es1371 card... I just won one on ebay. I'll give that a try when it arrives. I guess I'll return all these other (useless) cards then (unless you think there's a chance any of them might work)...
