It has three audio chips. Marking are
“AZT2316R”
3rd gen Aztech audio controller. Supports SBPro2 and has bug-free UART MPU-401
Real OPL3 chip for FM synthesis
DAC that offers WSS support.
This MMSN841 was known internally at Packard Bell as 'Rocky 2' (due to the 28k8 Rockwell modem chipset which you can safely ignore). It's a completely standard Aztech card though so can use generic config tools (DOS) or drivers (Windows). I really like these cards (I have its successor, the MMSN855 - Rocky 2.5 in Packard Bell speak, with AZT2302 chipset - basically the same at the 2316R but with OPL3, DAC and PnP integrated into one package). They have basically every desirable sound card feature (including low self-noise and no tricky drivers) apart from SB16 and in this case a wavetable header.

I don’t think it can be because it’s auto detected in windows 95 and detects an adlib gold compatible sound card that dos days chart says that it isn’t compatible with ad-lib.
Whatever Windows 95 is detecting, it's not correct as AdLib Gold compatible cards are as rare as hens' teeth and this is not one of them. This is fully AdLib (non-Gold) compatible thanks to its OPL3 whcih is backwards compatible with OPL2.
