Hi Jerry,
I must convess that I begin to doubt that your sound card
might have Sound Blaster Pro mode as cold boot default when
you said that you only able to set up Sound Blaster Pro
driver under Linux, not Windows Sound System ... O:)

No more doubt then, your sound card do have Windows Sound
System mode as cold boot default. This causing Blaster Master
to crash when trying to find a Sound Blaster.

Those Creativelabs' drivers somehow switch the card to partial
Sound Blaster emulation. The same never happen on my OPTi --
your sound card is slightly more advanced, but still need a
chipset-specific initializer program to set it to full Sound
Blaster Pro mode :)
Thanks for the trouble to check this out.

Yes, and also a lot cheaper than get a custom-built SNDINIT
from Yamaha ;)
