Thanks for checking my issue out! Unfortunately that's not it.
2) My card works in some games, I hear both digitised sound and music in WOLF3D, it's the drivers installers and diagnose programs that don't work. Well King's Quest 5 doesn't work, but I heard it's a problem for some other cards too so I'm not sure it's related to this exact issue, could be my version of the game (GOG).
3) Despite what nerdlypleasures say the position of DMCTL jumper doesn't affect sound playback. I observe no change in behavior when I change the position of this jumper. This page states the jumper disables or enables shared DMA. I didn't find what shared DMA means yet. But sure I'll use it with shared DMA enabled from now on because there are indeed more photos on the internet with this feature enabled.
