As a programmer, you should know that even if your soundcard claims to
be 100% SoundBlaster compatible, it really isn't 100% SoundBlaster
compatible.

There's only one soundcard I would recommend outside of a SoundBlaster,
and that is a Gravis UltraSound - It has SoundBlaster emulation, but all
the cool sound libraries support it now anyway.  And it picks up a LOT
less noise than a SB, espically handy if you're into making samples from
a Line-In/Mic.  SoundBlasters will pick up all kinds of noise, including
your hard drive clicking (try cranking your soundcard, and copy large
file to another directory).

Alas, I'm too cheap to buy one, so I must deal with SB16 for now.

Oh, as for your CD-Soundcard problem, check and see if your cable from
the CD-Drive is properly plugged onto your soundcard, or if you have one
at all.  If not, wander down to your local electronics shop and ask for
a MPC-2 cable to connect from your <insert soundcard> to your <insert cd
brand/model>.

Hope that helps.
