SUMMARY
This article describes procedures to set up a Creative Labs Sound Blaster
AWE32 sound card on computers running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation or Server.
These drivers have been tested on both AWE Plug and Play and non-Plug and
Play cards.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows NT 4.0 does not ship with all drivers required to support the Sound
Blaster AWE32 sound card. However, drivers that will work are available
from Creative Labs at:
http://www.creaf.com/wwwnew/tech/ftp/ftp-sb16awe.html
or
http://www.soundblaster.com
To obtain and install these drivers, perform the following procedures:
- Download Awent40.exe from the Creative Labs FTP site.
- Place Awent40.exe in a separate directory and expand it.
- In Control Panel/Multimedia/Devices, click Multimedia Drivers and then
click ADD.
- Select Unlisted or Updated Driver.
- Browse to the directory containing the downloaded drivers.
- Click OK.
- Select Creative Tech. Sound Blaster 16.
- Configure the card as required and restart the computer.
NOTE: Although the sound drivers are now installed, the "Creative Sound
Blaster AWE32 MIDI Synth" driver must be loaded to obtain the full
orchestration capabilities of the AWE sound card. Install this driver as

and then click ADD.
