 is this possible that your sound card IRQ be different from one of these
1,3,7,10
 detect only test those one.

   Currently SFX2.E  doesn't detect the sound card it read the BLASTER
environment    variable and if not found set  iSbCardError variable.
   So to use sfx2.e your BLASTER environment should be set to the rigth values

   Your program should always check for iSbCardError before calling any
sound routine.
   if iSbCardError is zero the your program can use the sound card else
there is an
   error and it can't.
   Error messages are available in global constant ERROR_MESSAGES which is a
sequence
   indexed by iSbCardError

   I will activate the detection code when it will be debugged.
