Hi Ron,

download the soundblaster-utilities and docs from 
  http://www.creaf.com

Sorry, I don't remember the exact place at the server.

There is a soundblaster-programming manual and some example code. The
examples are written for borland or microsoft-c, but very easy to port
to djgpp. I've done it in about 20 minutes.
The main things to change are the low-level IO (inportb/outportb) and
the makefile. I don't remember other things to change. Maybe this
examples are the right place for you to start.

Hope this helps,

  Roland

PS: at the time, I check news and mail very seldom, so if you write me,
it may take long time for an answer.
