Windows 98 Sound Blaster Help

[TimothyHD]

Hello there, I am setting up a retro PC for gaming, mostly DOS games. Anyway, I installed Windows 98 on it before, and it only had 2GB available. I found this out after I installed the Sound Blaster card drivers and it worked fine, as well as the ATI drivers, giving me native resolution. Well I fixed the 2GB drive space by formatting my drive, and now all 40 GB are available. However, the sound blaster card will not work. I installed the drivers, but it says this under the device manager: The Device is disabled (Code 22) You can't enable the device because it has been disabled by a Windows driver." And I was like, well crap, what do I do now? So I looked under the multimedia page, and I saw there was this new thing, MPU-401 Compatible. It's enabled, and I think it's the Windows driver that's disabling my sound blaster. How do I get rid of it?? Nothing changed hardware wise when I formatted the hard drive, and when I disabled this MPU-401 compatible thing the soundblaster wasn't enabled. I also looked in the system information tab and it says the MPU-401 is taking up the x330/x331 port that the soundblaster should take up. Maybe it's because I installed some bad drivers for the sound blaster, and it thinks it's a different device? I'm not sure, I need help please..

I fixed it, I just needed to move the sound card away from the graphics card.
