teinedreugan commented on his sound card not working. As I was going to be staying at his house this week and had a spare one, I volunteered to do a replacement to see if that fixed the problem.
So, I pulled out the old one, put mine in, fetched the Windows 98 install disk from under the bookcase, installed the drivers, and rebooted the system.
This did not produce a functional result.

I do not think this has been an improvement.
