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

When using the Sound Blaster 1.x driver provided with Windows NT to run with the Sound Blaster Pro, the DMA channel must be set to 1.

The Sound Blaster 1.x driver has two settings for DMA: Off and DMA channel 1. The Sound Blaster Pro has three settings: DMA channels 0, 1, and 3.

DMA channel 1 must be used because it is the only setting in common between the adapter and the driver.
