I've been sitting a few days trying to get this card to work. But to no avail. I've tried all sorts of Aztech and Crystal drivers. My installation of Windows 95 recognizes it as a Creative Labs Sound Blaster though. But still won't work. Even tried sifting through the vogonsdriver pack for aztech but didn't get any wiser there either.
The AZT2316A is a non-PnP chip. You can configure the I/O Address with a jumper (JMPB0, as indicated on the silkscreen in the pic). For the rest you need the Aztech tool CONFIG.EXE which can be found on the official Aztech disk for the card. After you have set DMA for SB, IRQ for SB and MIDI and address for MIDI, you can install the drivers and point them to the correct resources. You would generally want to go for A220, I5, D1, P330 and MIDI IRQ 2/9.
All Aztech ISA drivers can be found in this archive:

Now, you have the I38-MMSN824. That has various marketing names, such as Sound Galaxy Pro 16 II, Sound Galaxy Washington 16 and Packard Bell 030056. I had this card and used the Sound Galaxy Pro 16 II drivers, see here:

Running CONFIG.EXE from the driver will allow you to configure each of the different features of the card. My I38-MMSN824 worked fine with the Voyager drivers, so if your version doesn't detect your card, keep looking!
Those drivers half worked for me - CONFIG.EXE detected the card, I could set resources and it would output sound as required. What I could not do was set the mixer (MIXER.EXE did NOT detect the card), resulting in an unmuted MIC line (noooise : ( ) and general volume so high it caused clipping.
I never found drivers that solved that, instead I found an I38-MMSN826, wich is basically the same card, but with a Wavetable chip+RAM onboard. On this one I can access the mixer, but not the wavetable-stuff. Oh well, progress I suppose. I sold the I38-MMSN824, so can't help try different drivers any more.
The thing is, i didn't get any disks with this machine. It came as-is, which is a huge bummer for me. But I'll have a try tomorrow again.
Again, check the first link I gave - that gives you all the drivers Aztech ever released for ISA cards.
Here's the correct drivers and utilities for your model number.
This card was normally bundled with Multimedia kits like the Stellar & Voyager Multimedia kits.
I'm not familiar with that driver archive, but you generally need Win3.1 to unpack the original Aztech (DOS) drivers. Be prepared.
All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder

This is the case for some of the models but, not all of them.
In other cases, there was a DOS installer also bundled with the drivers (Install.exe)
