I'm sorry, but you could as well forget it.
The SB Pro supports only 8bit, 22kHz stereo (and 44kHz mono).
That's not really the quality you'd want for good music, I
guess.

If you buy a soundcard and want decent SB compatibility, be
sure that it is hardware compatible with at least an SB16.
That will also save your good old DOS games.  ;-)
