The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

The Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 and Sound Blaster ASP 16 sound cards do not function properly with Windows NT using the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 1.X driver provided with Windows NT.

The hardware design for these cards is different from, and not compatible with, the earlier Sound Blaster cards. The Sound Blaster 16 and Sound Blaster ASP 16 cards ship with drivers for Windows 3.1, but they do not ship with drivers for Windows NT.

Creative Labs has released Windows NT drivers for the Sound Blaster 16 (and Sound Blaster Pro 2). These drivers are available on CompuServe:
