You will need to load the DOS drivers for your sound card to run it
from Dos, in the case of a plug-n-play card you will also need the
PnP configuration driver for the card.  You can download these
drivers from Creative Labs/Sound Blaster at:
  http://support.soundblaster.com/files/download.asp?OS=Dos&prod=sb_16

The Dos drivers file is:                 sbbasic.exe    1.2mgs
The PnP config manager file is:   ctcmbbs.exe   706k

You will need both of these files to use your sound card in DOS.
