And I've also thrown in some MWave tips, for MWave users who are getting horrible performance out of their preloaded Aptivas. Instead, use the drivers that came with the card, and they will work. There are 2 different mvsound.sys's floating around. One is from IBM and the Sound Blaster initialization is broken on this one. The MediaVision driver does set up the Sound Blaster side of the card fine, but is an older version of the driver.
Games are a problem.
These tips work for my card, and have worked for some other people. Others, however, haven't had the same luck with them. It seems that some revisions of the chip on the card are more amicable to some setups than others. The best thing to do is experiment and see what works for your card. And finally, you should know that the PAS just won't support Voice Dictation or Navigation under Merlin.
