sound16a on windows 98

I am trying to upgrade from win3.11 to win98 on a PB CDT110. I can't find a 98 driver. The card was working but took IRQ05 &IRQ07. 07 is where my printer should be. I tried to clear the eeprom on the sound card by moving a jumper, but now I have no CD, because it runs through the sound card. I can't figure out how to restore the eeprom in win98. 3.11 is gone. I did an uninstall- reinstall on the sound and CD drivers but with no CD I'm dead. Is there a way to bypass the sound card and slave the CD to the hard drive?

I have had problems with win98 and it setting up a sound card.I solved the problem by going into bios and turning off the plug and play feature there.also win 95 and an upgrade of windows 98 works much better than a straight load of just win98.all drivers set up better in windows 95 and then an upgrade to win98 goes much smoother. also if your cdrom is forty pin you can slave it to the the hard drive and the sound card should still work. if the cd rom is a thirty pin it has to go through the sound card to work.

J. Meara is wrong about the CD-rom...there are 3 varities of 40 pin..one is IDE, which will work off your Hard drive controller, one is Panasonic Proprietary, and the other is Mitsumi Proprietary. if this is a 2x CD-rom it will most likely be panasonic proprietary and will not let your computer boot or damage your hard drives if hooked up to IDE on the mainboard run the add new hardware wizard and let it search for devices it may pick up your panasonic proprietary CD-ROM controller and resture your CD-ROM drive I have not found a way to change the interrupt of this card from seven...and packard bell sound boards are always problematic

I have the same sound card and it installs as an aztech sound galaxy washington 16 to change your irq to 5 make a modification to your autoexec.bat file add the lines SET GALAXY=A220 I5 D1 K10 P530 T6 SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 or if you already have these lines and your irq is 7 change the part of the two lines that say I7 to I5 I hope this solves your problem
