SYMPTOMS
When you run the Add New Hardware wizard to install an Aztech Rocky II sound card, the sound card may be incorrectly detected as a Sound Blaster Pro sound card.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Aztech Rocky II sound card is Sound Blaster compatible in MS-DOS. Because of this, Windows 98 may incorrectly detect it as a Sound Blaster Pro (or compatible) and install the Sound Blaster Pro drivers.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the following steps:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
 * 2) On the Device Manager tab, double-click the Sound, Video And Game Controller branch, click Sound Blaster Pro, and then click Properties.
 * 3) On the Driver tab, click Update Driver..., and then click Next.
 * 4) Click "Display a list of all the drivers in a specific location, so you can select the driver you want.", and then click Next.
 * 5) Click Show All Hardware, click Aztech Labs in the Manufacturers box, click "Aztech 2316 Compatible Legacy Audio (WDM)" in the Models box, and then click Next.

NOTE: If you receive a message stating that the driver that you are installing was not written specifically for the selected hardware, click Yes.
 * 1) Click Next, click Finish, and then click Yes to restart your computer.
