You know what? I think you are right.Is not the sound card, but
something else. This is what I have done so far:

1. Tried another card. It did the same thing. (So, is not the card.)
2. Re-installed Windows(98). Same thing.
3. Re-installed driver from original CD that came w/card.Same result.

   So, maybe you are right about the memory issue, although my brother
had a system close to mine with same memory size and had no problems
playing music. I'll look into adding more memory though. Thanks a lot
for your input. Regards. Vic Lopez
