Need a driver for an old Sound Blaster 16 Vibra

I found several possibilities at driverguide.com:

Sound Blaster 16 Creative Technology Ltd Sound Card Win 3.11, Win 95, Win 98, Win 98SE, Win ME, Win NT 3.51, Win NT 4.0, Win 2000 Workstation, Win 2000 Server, Win XP Home, Win XP Pro, Win 2003 Server

Submitted Jun 28, 2000 by Steve Kudelko: "This driver is for the ISA, VESA, PCI & On-board versions of the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 Sound Card.

And

Vibra 16/24x Creative Technology Ltd CD / DVD Win 3.11

Submitted Oct 1, 1999 by DriverGuide: "Updated Windows 3.1 Install disk 1 for Vibra 16/24x kits with install software SBCD-CDS1D-1-US or GA64-CDS3D-1-US. GA64-PAS3D-1-US (Revision 1) Corrects problem of Vibra 16/24x kits shipped with a CD-ROM that will not install on a 486 system running DOS/WIN3.1x."

Seem to be the best fit on the first page. Just search for the card by name, select "more..." in the left sidebar under Operating Systems to tick on over to Windows 3.x. You may need to sign up for a "free" account to actually download the driver, I don't recall offhand, so I'd use a throwaway email account if that's the case.

Under manual selection choose windows 3.x, I would leave the "all" and not change to driver so you can download the configuration manager.

From the; Sound Blaster 16 Readme File.......

1. DOS ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS

Some of the existing DOS programs require the presence of MIDI and SOUND environments in order for them to work. The Setup program will add the SET MIDI and SET SOUND environment lines at the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

1. DOS AUDIO DRIVER SUPPORT UNDER WINDOWS 95 DOS BOX

Some of the DOS applications are developed with Creative's Sound Blaster Developer Kit. These applications require the low-level DOS audio device drivers to be loaded. To load the DOS audio drivers, you need to add the following lines to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=DRVCTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 /WIN95 DEVICE=DRVCTMMSYS.SYS

Remarks:

a. is the sound directory where the audio software is located.

b. The /BLASTER parameter specifies the Sound Blaster base I/O port address (A), interrupt request line (I), low 8-bit DMA channel (D) and high 16-bit DMA channel (H).

c. The settings in the /BLASTER parameter must tally with the actual settings allocated by Windows 95. To find out the actual settings, go into Windows 95 DOS box, and type SET and press at the DOS prompt. You will see one of the lines displayed is:

BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

The values after the A, I, D and H are the actual settings to be used for the /BLASTER parameter.

To help you set up the DOS audio drivers, we have prepared a text file CONFIG.TXT in the sound directory. This text file contains the above lines to specify the DOS audio drivers. The sound directory in the text file had been updated by the installation program. You just need to update the /BLASTER parameter and copy the lines into the CONFIG.SYS file.

1. BLASTER settings under MS-DOS Mode

Whenever you change your Audio hardware configuration manually, the BLASTER environment under MS-DOS Mode will only be valid after you reboot the system once.

However, if you proceed to MS-DOS Mode without rebooting, you need to run CTCM.exe which is in your Windows directory. This program makes the BLASTER environment tally with the actual hardware settings.

I have the original dos drivers for this card and a few others. If you'd like to contact me/send me your email, I can send them on to you.

This may be what you're looking for
