I recently trotted down to Best Buy to get a sound card, and
I picked up both a Sound Blaster Pro and a MediaMagic ISP-16.
The media magic claims to be SBPRO compatible, plus it adds
44 kHz stereo 16-bit recording and playback, windows sound
system emulation, cdrom support for sony, panasonic, and mitsumi
CDs, separate line-in line-out mic-in speaker out with 8 watt amplifier
and (best of all) it was only $75.  Well all the features work
beautifully, especially the CD quality recording and playback.
_HOWEVER_, when I play games that support SBPRO stereo sound (like
doom), the sound comes out in mono.  So the question is:

Do most SB (or SBPRO) compatible sound cards get the stereo sound
effects?  I.e., should I be getting stereo with this card, or do
I need a 'real' SBPRO.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
