Preconfiguration Information

• The Sound Blaster Pro card cannot share IRQ settings with any other card installed in your system. If the hardware-jumpered IRQ setting conflicts with any other device, change the IRQ on the Sound Blaster card to one listed under "Supported Settings." The most common conflicts occur with the LPT1 parallel port or a network card.

• Output volume is controlled by software. Be sure the volume thumbwheel on the back of the card is turned all the way up to the maximum volume setting; otherwise you may not hear any sound.

• The microphone jack on the back of the Sound Blaster Pro card is a mono jack. If your microphone has a stereo plug, convert it to mono using an appropriate adapter.

Supported Settings

If your card supports Plug and Play, your device resources are configured automatically. Use the following settings for devices that don't support Plug and Play.

Known Problems and Limitations

The ISA version IBM Token Ring and compatible adapters will not work in a system that contains a Sound Blaster card configured at the default I/O port address (0x220). If possible, move the Sound Blaster card to port address 0x240; otherwise, remove the Sound Blaster device from the system.
