This may be because my machine can't run DOS (and therefore Gravis' DOS initialization program). If it is to be of use to me, I need the card to work without requiring DOS. Can anyone with more experience in dealing with these things comment? BTW, the failure mode that I see is that, in playing an audio file, the first second or three comes out just fine (but LOUD), and then something gets stuck in an infinite loop playing the same sound over and over again. The play program gets stuck in an uninterruptible wait in the audio driver (ick!). Perhaps an IRQ register isn't getting initialized right? -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
