A friend has the sb32, and I think it's basically the same (the board is smaller, if I recall; the AWE32 has two SIMM slots and is a full-length ISA card). > This one does AWE stuff (the > AWE programs run on it), and the wave table synthesis sounds > pretty good...

Any ideas? That is a different software package. My guess is that you need to use the AWE Control Panel or the AWEUTIL program to kick it into General MIDI Emulation or somesuch. Also, the media player must support the "sysex" command so that the AWE can be addressed. It's been so long since I've played with that I can't remember.
