I don't think you can do this using programs supplied with Win 3.1, but
here is a program that should do the trick:

--

#include <windows.h>

int PASCAL WinMain(	HANDLE hInstance, HANDLE hPrevInstance, 
			LPSTR lpszCmdParam, int nCmdShow)
{
sndPlaySound(lpszCmdParam,NULL);
return 0;
}

--


Compile this with a Windows 3.1 compiler (MSC++ 7.0 or Borland C++ 3.1) and
you can insert your favourite sounds as icons into the program manager.

PS.	You can find a good sound icon in PROGRAM.EXE.

PSS.	If you call this program PLAY.EXE then the command line (in the
	program manager properties box) should look something like this:

	PLAY BEATLES.WAV

Try dragging the .wav file from the file manager to a open write document. Next,
double-click on the recorder icon that will is shown in the document to hear
the sound.  The sound is played by the recorder using OLE but the recorder 
does not even show up on the screen.

Well, I can answer this from reading the stats on the GU. It is not a 
"Sample-playback unit" It will sample up to 44.1. But it samples using 8
bit. In order to get 16 bit sampling, you have to use the daughter board.

What good is the MIDI port?  Can anything be done with it outside of plugging
a full sized MIDI keyboard into it?

Also, it bothers me to read that Soundblasters crash with 50 mhz 486 boxes.
Can someone send me the phone number of their BBS so I can call them to see

I have a question which I haven't really seen answered yet, but I have seen

buying a sound card for it. The rest of the machine is a fairly well-made
standard clone with 2 ESDI hard disks and 3 MB RAM.

I currently want to buy something that can handle 16-bit sampling. I was
thinking of a PAS-16. Is this too much for a 286-16 to handle? Are any of
the 16-bit sampling soundcards better than the others in a 286 or should I
resign myself to a motherboard upgrade to a 386 or 486?

I bought the drivers and currently have my Syquest 44 meg removable strung off
my PAS-16 card.  I also have the NEC CD-rom (Bought the multimedia kit) and
both talk and have no conflicts.

You will have to buy a 2 connector cable if you bought the multimedia kit
since the cable only has one connector for the CD rom.

And, here is the crazy part, I get better performance using the Trantor drivers
than I did using my adaptec card & driver.  Oh well, whatever works!

I had posted a note to this group 4-5 weeks ago describing a problem I
was having with the SBPro (random noises from FM synth.) on my machine
(Gateway 386/33 - two years old).  Creative labs said they'd look into
it but offered not guarantees.  Since I was at risk and had only 30
days to get money back, I returned the SBPRo and CD ROM to the store
for a refund.

Two things have happened since: 1) I bought a PAS16 instead ($227 at
Egghead) and 2) Creative Labs called me and said they have a
hardware patch to the oscillator on the board that should solve the
problem (I told them I'd returned the card).

I am so far very happy with the PAS 16.  Better hardware (16 bits vs.
8), better software (both for windows and DOS) and seems fully
compatible (HW & SW) with SBPro - I was even able to reuse my Creative
Labs MIDI cable (same pin out).  Also compatible with just about
anybody's CD ROM (SBPro interface is proprietary).  In my case the
price differential was only about $50: I'd say well worth it.

Use the Multimedia Jukebox.  The README.WRI file in your WINDOWS directory

I had this exact same problem.  I have a BUS Mouse which was set to use
interrupt 5.  This is the int. that the SB mode uses.  They don't seem to 
share the interrupt well.  

On a related note, the stereofx program SFX still doesn't work.

Also, how and with what does each come packaged....

I have a Sound Blaster Pro, but dont't know if it is the version1 or version2.
It most definitely is not the 16 since I only paid $209 for it...The one
I have came packaged with a ring-bound manual and a midi kit(connector and SPJ)
How do I tell what version I have...Also, I have noticed many other SB Pro
owners complaing of noise, etc that comes out when the hard disk is being 
accessed.  Well the same goes for me too...It just clicks, whirs and beeps
out my SB speakers, especially when the volume is cranked, say over 5 out 
of a possible 15 settings...Also, noticed a slight pause in the recordings
I make of songs when the hard disk had written to itself....What gives???

Any help is greatly appreciated,
