Lately I've seen a few people asking for help as to how to install a PnP Sound Blaster under DOS. So I made this little tutorial showing all the steps 😀

This video is split into three parts:

1: Explains where you can download the necessary drivers and what files you need to get.

2: Explains how to extract the drivers and run the INSTALL.EXE in order to install the drivers onto your vintage / retro PC

3: Explains if you would like to change for example the IRQ from 5 to 7 or the MIDI port from 330 to 300

Just to help out, the required files can be downloaded from this attachment below.

It contains 2 folders : Creative PnP utilities (CTCM) and Sound Blaster 16/AWE32/AWE64 Basic Disk (SBBASIC). Both folders contain install.exe in each and will help to install the drivers in DOS.

1. Install CTCM,
then,
2. Install SBBASIC.
