I got it working in many games and real mode .MOD players. The card detects in these games as SB Pro, and will only play 8-bit samples in stereo up to 22 Khz. Quake, Raptor, Wolfenstein 3D, Descent, DMP MODule player v 3.01, MikMod 3.2.9, Open MPT123 player. But would not work in Need for Speed, Screamer 1 or 2. Detected fine, but no sound.

The key was the I had to manually SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1

And, initially used SBMIX to set volumes.

Also, the sound would play only through headphone jack on my "new" (core i5/i7) laptops with Intel HDA audio.

On one of my systems (Kaby Lake i5 8250u, with onboard Intel IHD audio, even MPXPLAY would not work in "normal" PCI-detection mode, but the SBEMU driver *did* work in getting sound in all of the games listed above, but strangely MPXplay itself gives no audio, even with -scc 1 and -scs options.
