What have you tried doing?  I suggest you run the setup program 
(allegro/setup/setup.exe) and try tweaking the settings from there.  
It lets you autodetect and test the settings you choose.  If 
autodetection does not work but using specific settings does, it's 
not the end of the world -- by providing configuration files to 
programs you can encourage them to use your correct settings.  Using 
the ALLEGRO environment variable you can point all Allegro programs 
to one configuration file on your hard disk.

The first thing you need to check though is that your BLASTER 
environment variable is correctly set.  Allegro uses this to try to 
determine some of your sound card settings.
