- Naive question, but are you trying to use the beta MMPM/2 SoundBlaster
- drivers without MMPM/2?
-
- There are two sets of drivers. One is a third party effort which does
- not operate with MMPM/2. You can use the driver to play sound files
- under OS/2 2.0, primarily. The other works in conjunction with
- MMPM/2. If you don't have MMPM/2, don't use the MMPM/2 driver.
-
- If I'm missing something, please feel free to followup.
