I would. You'll most likely have better results, and a lot more control. (I'm curious as to how
you go about disabling a built-in chip on the MB, when you don't want the mfr. included sound or
nic or whatever ?)

As to PCI soundcards with support for Warp, that subject has been an odd bag of snakes for quite
some time. Timur Tabi had a website dedicated to the proposition that those based on certain of the
Crystal chipsets were best. Others said there were low volume issues with these, and they did not
have Midi, if that mattered to you. At the time they closed up shop, Indelible Blue was selling an
Aopen card as their best available recommendation. I think it was the AW-320, but I'd have to
double-check that to be sure. There is a decent chance this one is still available. If you get
really stuck, I have a nice collection of soundcards, based on different chipsets, that are supposed
to work in OS/2, and I might be persuaded to part with one. (What happened was that I could not
decide what was going to become my next soundcard, most of the promising candidates I came across
were rather inexpensive, and I just kept acquiring them.)
