I'm having a dickens of a time getting the NEC CDR-74 sound system (I think it's a Spectrum card) to work on my brand new Gateway 486DX2-66V. Here are some of the known problems. In Carmen Sandiego the sound either does not work at all or works at best on an occassion and unpredictable basis. (You hear the voices–it doesn't seem to affect music–some of the time and the rest of the time you see the figure move his mouth but no voice cometh forth). I can't even get Sherlock I to come up with an opening screen. In Windows the sounds connected to events (start windows, exit windows, etc.) start but never end. The system freezes up and the machine needs a boot to get it unfrozen. If anyone knows how to get around this problem, your comments would be most appreciated. Thanks.
