One possible reason: Allegro might be thinking this is an 8bit sound
card.  Sending WAV samples with a maximum of 255, when the card
expects 16bit with a maximum of 65535, could easily account for such
problems.

What's the type of card Allegro thinks you have? If you're using the
DOS/DJGPP version of Allegro (likely, given you're asking this
_here_): are you sure the DOS support machinery of your card is
active?  All Sound Blasters since about the SB16 PCI don't really
support the old DOS soundcard standards in hardware, any more. They
simulate them by software, so you have to either be in the Windows DOS
emulation or run special drivers, otherwise there will be no
SoundBlaster emulation.
