Dave,

I too have an Aztech Sound Galaxy Waverider 32+.  I have NASCAR
working fine.  The thing to remember is that this (16-bit) soundcard
is only Soundblaster Pro (8-bit) compatible.

So, selecting the Soundblaster Pro will get you 8-bit stereo sound.  I
can't get 16-bit to work at all, no sound comes out.

You might want to try the game from a cold boot to dos, just in case
Windows 3-95 has messed with any of the on-board mixer's volume
levels.

If you get this working and want to hear the game exit screen music
using Wavetable synthesis (not muffled FM).  Set music to the General
Midi option, however first you should get the latest General Midi
driver WAVETIDE.EXE  I think it's in the following zip file:
ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/aztech/soundcards/wavetide.102

Plus I think there's a patch for Nascar's music image, which is needed
to work with Aztech's driver: It's in one of the 3, which work various
games:
ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/aztech/patches/wt_fix1.zip
ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/aztech/patches/wt_fix2.zip
ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/aztech/patches/wt_fix3.zip

Incidentally if you are on the Windows95 train, you might like to pull
the 95 drivers:
ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/aztech/win95/wash95.zip

As an aside, I have Magic Carpet and DoomII working with Wavetable,
but Dark Forces still seems no go and I have to live with FM sounds.

Cheers,
Robert.
