sound blaster 16 PCI problems

[JoeCraw]

i cannot get my new sound blaster PCI card to function properly. i have made sure that the plugs are in correctly and the card is seated properly.
here are the resources my computer is using. i already have the serial com ports disabled in the CMOS.
i get no sound at all. if i try to manually play a sound i get the following error message

Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding.

here are the resources my computer is using

00 system timer
01 keyboard
02 programmable interupt controller
03 US robotics PnP modem
5 ACPI IRQ holder for PCI IRQ steering
5 SB PCI
06 floppy disk

Try switching the sound card to a different PCI slot.
Does windows detect the new hardware? ~Apex1x

What version of Windows are you using?

Did the card work before?

If so, what have you done recently to your computer?

If you're running 95, 98 or ME, give these drivers a go (scroll down a bit):

You'll need to extract both files to a temp location and run the exe (the exe has to be in the same location as the .lib file).
