Jeez, what kind of soundcard is it? IRQ conflict might not be out of the 
question. If you're still desperate, jerk more cards out to see if that 
resolves a possible conflict. What kind of mo-board and processor, how 
much ram?  I assume you have checked the mixer, got the speakers plugged 
in,? Plugged into the "speaker out" and not the "mike"? (I've done 
that!) They are turned on and the volume about halfway up.

If it's a good ole ISA SoundBlaster AWE64, they have mentioned that 
support has been dropped and it takes a bit of wrangling to get one to 
work. Ric
