Sound Card Setup Problems

My dad has a Tri-Gem computer (purchased thru mail order). It has a "TeleSound EX-16" sound card in it. He bought NCR today and when he runs setup to select a sound card, NCR detects a Microsoft Sound System 8 Stereo when automatic selection is used in the setup program. When he "continues confirmation", the setup program freezes up. He has tried changing port port/irq/dma to settings shown in Win95 for the sound card, and it still freezes up. He's tried selecting Sound Blaster 16, 8, and Pro, and the steup program tells him the driver isn't compatible with his card, yet the soundcard manual clearly states that the card is at least SoundBlaster Pro compatible. No matter what he does, setup freezes up on him. Does anybody here have any suggestions? /===================================================\

Update - He fixed it on his own. Turns out the card is actually compatible with the GUS card and all is now well. /===================================================\
