What type of Ensoniq sound card? If it's an AudioPCI, go to the Device
Manager and find the AudioPCI Legacy Device in Sound, video, and game
controllers. Check its DOS app settings (a tab at the top); specifically,
get the port, irq, and dma of the SoundBlaster Pro emulation. Now run the
N2 setup, select "SoundBlaster Stereo", and plug in the values.
I have to say I never would have bought a "non-Creative Labs" sound card,
but it came with a Gateway system and I figured I'd give it a shot. To my
pleasant surprise it has been an excellent card: lots of features, sounds
great, and never had any compatibility problems! I would certainly
consider it if I was buying a stand-alone card for an existing system.
