This allows the card to Emulate a SB 16 so it will work in DOS. Some people
still play DOS games and need this.

any, I have lost by doing that. As far as I can see, I
still have a functional sound card.
My questions to this esteemed group are:

What is "Creative SB 16 Emulation" ?
Which of us would need it and why ?

The SB 16 Emulation will give you SB 16 sound for DOS
programs running in a DOS box or in DOS Emulation mode.
 There are so few DOS apps that need sound that most folks
disable it and avoid all these headaches with IRQ's.
