Okee-dokee, folks... don't laugh at me! I'm looking for a Windows 3.1
driver for the onboard sound system on my Intel motherboard - can anybody help
me out?

p.s. Yes, I know that I can get the Win 9* and up driver pretty easily, but
that's not what I need!

Go into the Bios system setup and see if there is an option to enable
Soundblaster16 emulation, this should let your AC97 pretend to be a SB16 card
(which is supported really well under Dos/Win3.1).

Nope, no such BIOS sound option... I just checked. I need a Win 3.1 driver!
