I recently acquired a Sound Blaster Pro 2 (CT1600) ISA card for my retro gaming machine. My machine is a 1Ghz PC with 256MB RAM, a Voodoo 3 16MB and is running Windows 98. For DOS games, I exit to DOS.
The CT1600 is running on port 220, irq 7 and dma 1.
I found the Sound Blaster Pro 2 installation disks on http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … =59&menustate=0 and this setup the card perfectly for DOS. But it does not come with Windows 9x drivers. It did try to install Win3.11 drivers, to no avail of course.
I tried installing the default Sound Blaster Pro driver from Windows 98 via Device manager, but it warns me it is not the correct driver for the hardware. After installation the device manager shows my SBPRO2 with a yellow exclamation mark and I have no working sound.
For the life of me, I can't find working drivers for Windows 9x. Can someone point me in the right direction? Or is this card not compatible with Windows 9x?
