I am building the ultimate late Win 98 era P3 system with a Tualatin CPU and using this motherboard

Asus TUSL2-C

https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/asus-tusl2-c

Everything is working great, system is very stable but I have an issue with sound cards.

I tried three different cards

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS SB0350
Soundblaster Augidy 2 SB0240
Soundlbatsre live 24bit SB0410

and none get detected as new hardware when windows boots, I installed various drivers found here but the cards just dont get detected at all in any of the slots.

Then a cheapie Creative Soundblaster Vibra 128 PCI (CT4810) works just fine.

Could it be possible that all three cards are dead ? I bought them from different sellets over past year or two and havent used them until now as they were for this build and I couldnt make up my mind.

Is there anything about this board and these cards I need to do in bios ? its already set to PnP OS.

thanks in advance
