UPDATE:
When I install either of the SB16 (CT2900) or AWE64 (CT4500) I get crackled speech (digitized sound). Both cards are fine when utilizing music (AW64 Midi sounds normal)
I know both of them are OK, as I have used them many times in my other systems (P-90MHz, 233AMD, etc.)
I have 2 other (PCI based however) sound cards: SBLive! and Yamaha (YMF724F-V), that I can test out on this machine, but they are not *period correct*, and I was hoping I could use either of my SB16 or AWE64 instead.
Do you know why I get this crackling sound? Is it my CPU?
Thank you for your kind comments and help in advance.
