I'm not going to load a driver when a "direct connection" (SET BLASTER) is enough. I'll keep as much conventional memory free as possible, thank you :P
You are very likely correct on the pnp windows thing. But the proper solution (as I see it), would then be to... uhm, "unmount" the card or reset to default settings, whenever I exit windows.
Another approach could be a program (not a driver), that resets sound card settings whenever dos is starting. That way, the "set blaster" setting should allow contact to the sound card. As far as I remember from my way old computer, SB16CFG.EXE did something like that (changes sound card settings, not dos settings for sending audio to the card). I'll try that program.
But please do reply if you've got any further suggestions.
