So far, no known problems have been detected with Interwave support. If something wrong is detected with it, please, report …

[...] @mazte79 @MJay99 Hi! Thank you for all the testing, photos and details!! This will help to find the problem for sure! It's not a PnP ID problem (In such case, the message Unknown card [XXXXXXX] .... should appear). I suspect of some EEPROM brand differences that causes this problem in newer …

Hey @JazeFox do you ever intend to enable SBK loading for AWE32/64 cards? About sound bank uploading to AWE cards: Quick answer: no. It's not within this tool's scope. And, moreover: I think of SBK support only in 2 scenarios: 1- GM/GS/MT32 use. That's what AWEUTIL /EM:XX does, but the thing is: …

The two …

... But the real issue ive encountered doing this is with the Opti card.
