SYMPTOMS
When you check the audio settings for your sound card using the Multimedia
tool in Control Panel, playback and recording settings may be unavailable
on the Audio tab. In addition, the Speaker icon may not appear on the
taskbar.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are using a Sound Blaster 2.0 sound card.
The playback and recording features of the Sound Blaster 2.0 sound card
work only in Microsoft Windows 3.x.
MORE INFORMATION
Only Windows 3.x drivers are available for the Sound Blaster 2.0 sound
card. As a result, you can use a Sound Blaster 2.0 sound card in Windows
95/98, but you cannot adjust playback, recording, or volume settings.
