I've tried the demo which comes with Allegro, and the sound works ok
there.
But I've looked at the source code for it, and the demo uses the
play_sample function
for playing sound while my game uses the voice functions, maybe that's
the problem.

Ok, but when I install the sound driver, will this function use the
settings in the config file (digi_card) automatically, or do I have to
tell it what soundcard to use.
