Installation Problems1
I tried for 2 evenings to install this device in my son's Win95 system without success. The instruction sheet made it look fairly straightforward until I actually tried to install the unit. The discovery process seemed to flow normally, but the device never worked. The control panel showed that indeed the sounds were enabled and even looked as though they were working but no sound came out. I tried the installation procedure many times with no success. There was NO manual included with this device and no instructions on how to configure the jumpers on the board. The Win98 instruction said to avoid the discovery as a "Crystal" device, but that is exactly how 95 discovered it. I could never seem to get the system to use any other driver other than the "Crystal" one. I also looked for an 800 number for support and found none (perhaps I just missed it somewhere in the fine print). After 2 days of frustration I decided to try and install a Sound Blaster 16 card from another system. I was able to install the Sound Blaster in about 10 minutes with no problems. Based on my experience with trying to install this device, the poor documentation, the lack of support and the absence of a setup utility, I would not recommend the purchase of this product.
