Hello Mark, I have finally solved my problem I was having with SR. It seems that you can add the Soundblaster Pro 2 to the list of sound cards that does not work with SR. I removed a Soundblaster 16 from an older computer and this did work with SR and I was able to get the program to run. BTW, can you suggest a good sound card (perhaps a SoundBlaster, but which model?) to use for ECS. I want to return the old SoundBlaster 16 to my other computer and just buy a new one for the ECS computer.
