My sound card, which is a Sonic Impact s70, will work if I use the Maestro-II drivers but it'll squeal, making impossible to enjoy. And now, for some reason, BeOS is constantly crashing, I haven't used it in two weeks. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps you should investigate the possibility of getting an inexpensive (and supported) sound card. Any of the Yamaha YMF chipset based cards are fairly cheap (starting at ~$17 USD) and the sound is really very nice. And they beat the more expensive (and troublesome) Creative Labs/SoundBlaster adapters hands down!

Take a look here for some recommendations:

Hope this helps....

I have to second that opinion. I have a YMF754 card as
well, and love it. Everything works perfectly under BeOS,
including MIDI. It has a nice, warm sound, and the mixer
app that is included is very robust.

BTW, if you need further help, please download BeShare
from http://www.bebits.com and pop onto the main server
at beshare.bentonrea.com. There is always someone there
24/7 who is able to help a newcomer to BeOS.
