Impulse Tracker not seeing Sound Blaster?

I had VDMS working perfectly before with Impulse Tracker using IRQ5 DMA1 A220, but I just formatted by hard drive and am trying to set it up again. For some reason this time Impulse Tracker always says "No sound card detected". The VDMS screen loads properly and launches impulse tracker, and I checked that the .INI and .BAT match BLASTER settings, but still no card detected. Do you guys have any idea why?

I'm using Windows 2000.
Here is my IT shortcut:
%VDMSPath%\VDMSRun.bat C:\IMPULS~1\IT -sITSB16.MMX

Thanks.

AHH! I fixed it.

Just want to post this reply in case someone else has this problem. I forget to edit the VDMSRUN.BAT to change the following line:

call %1

to change it to:

call %1 %2

so it includes the -sb16 command line parameter! duh.. heh Otherwise it was just launching IT.exe and leaving off the command line parameters. My bad.

Really though, you should let VDMSound use the default IRQ7. It's healthier that way.

Yes, it’s my fault.
