Are you trying to use both cards at the same time? If so, then I would expect various conflicts and issues. In any case, quality aside, the Audician32 (if that is what you have) is SBPro-compatible, so it doesn't give you much over the existing SBPro2 (unless you have some games that explicitly use the WSS).
Yeah, dionb suggested earlier that it would be best to have both cards at the same time, with sb pro 2 on irq5 and the yamaha on irq7... but the yamaha doesn't have any jumpers, I was guessing it's a PnP card maybe, but perhaps its not and its just trying to use irq5 as well, idk... whatever the case, it worked fine when I tested it by itself some months ago, with win98se which automatically detected it and had drivers built-in so it just worked, but now on win95 osr2.0, with the sb pro 2 present, the yamaha does not show up in device manager even if I manually download and install drivers. Maybe it would work if I move the sb pro 2 to irq7 and free irq5, assuming the yamaha wants irq5.. But I think the sb pro 2 is the card supposed to be more compatible with dos games and irq5 is supposed to be better for that?
