On several computers and sound cards, the runtime
autodetector doesn't work properly. Try Allegro Setup.
This program tells Allegro which sound card and joystick
you are using. Download the source from the Allegro site;
it installs to c:\djgpp\allegro\setup\setup.exe. Download a
binary from Damian Yerrick's download page at

You ran their setup programs and told them you
have a Sound Blaster Pro.

My laptop's MagicWave also emulates a Sound Blaster Pro. When
I used Allegro Setup, it worked fine with both MIDI and wave sound.
