Installing NT Workstation 4.0:
Audio support

 

SoundBlaster compatibility

There are no NT drivers available for the ESS 488 AudioDrive chipset, but fortunately this emulates a SoundBlaster closely enough for the generic Creative Labs Soundblaster 1.5 / Pro / 16 driver to work - just be sure you know what I/O and IRQ your sound card's using.

If you need to check or set your sound card resources, see the section on PS2 commands.

I got good .WAV playback, with concurrent MIDI playback. The MIDI support seemed to extend to about four simultaneous voices, which is a bit mince, but I don't know enough about MIDI to pick another driver. Heck, it makes noises!
