Anyone know the make and model of this soundcard? I can't remember for the life of me what it is.

Opti MAD16 PRO or simply 'the 82C929'. But the Layout is a bit different. The drivers should work anyways.

It can switch between WSS and Soundblaster Pro (DSP 3.02) and has a clone OPL3 chip.

Looks similar to the Shuttle HOT-233, which is identical to the Turtle Beach Monte Carlo 929 (http://www.amoretro.de/2012/09/shuttle-hot-23 … soundkarte.html)

Wouldn't hurt to try the HOT233/Opti 929 drivers from here:

Looks expensive. No offense but you shouldn't lay it on cotton. That could ruin the card. You should only place it on antistatic bags or a dead mobo, away from static-lint and electricity.

I don't get that, however, I bought a roll of black rubber which I use as anti static.

Hi,
I know this card - it works well with the generic OPTi 929 drivers as well as with the Terratec Maesto 32 drivers or the Turtle Beach Monte Carlo 929 or the Shuttle HOT-233 drivers.
These cards are basically all the same, the only differences are whether a specific card utilizes a genuine Yamaha OPL3 FM Synth or a 1:1 Clone like LS262 or LS212 or similar.

Cheers
Fabian
