I bought a AWE32 CT3900 on Ebay a week ago, I got the card this friday and I tested the card today.
The issue is that the card dosnt output any sound when using its EMU8000 synth or OPL3 synth, the digital 8bit and 16bit audio part works however. Diagnose.exe thinks everything is working but Synthesized Music and AWE Synthesized Music dosnt produce any sound. I have tested the card in two different systems with the same result, my old CT2760 works but the new CT3900 dosnt. I have not reinstalled any drivers or changed any config files but it shouldnt be needed as both are non PNP AWE32 cards and diagnose thinks everything is fine. I have checked with mixerset that it isnt an issue with output volume or muting. The result is the same in DOS and Windows 95.
Here is a picture of the card. The jumpers seem to be at their default positions. I tried to disable the IDE controller but it diddnt change the situation so I enabled it again.
If this was some cheap card I bought as untested I would not be very upset but this was a tested card sold at market value, here is the description.
