Creative Labs Sound Blaster Plug and Play sound cards:

  • Sound Blaster 16 Plug N Play
  • Sound Blaster 32 Plug N Play
  • Sound Blaster AWE 32 Plug N Play
  • Sound Blaster AWE 64 Plug N Play


To install support for the Creative Labs Sound Blaster sound cards listed above, install the Pnpisa.sys driver to enumerate the settings for the sound card, and then install the drivers available on the Windows NT CD-ROM.

Steps listed below

  1. Install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 if it is not already installed.
  2. If any sound drivers are installed, remove them. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
    • Double-click Multimedia, double-click Audio Devices on the Devices tab, click the audio device listed, if any device is present, and then click Remove. Note that this step also removes any corresponding Musical Instrument Device Interface (MIDI), sound mixer, and line device drivers.
    • If more than one sound driver is listed, repeat step B for each audio device.
    • Restart your computer.
  3. Place the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive, open the Drvlib\Pnpisa\x86 folder on the CD-ROM, right-click the Pnpisa.inf file, and then click Install. Restart your computer when you are prompted.
  4. When the New Hardware Found message appears and you are prompted how to install a driver, click "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer" in the Select Device box.
  5. If you are prompted for a driver for the Creative Labs 3D Stereo Enhancement Technology device, click Windows NT Default Driver, and then click OK.
  6. If you are prompted for a driver for the "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2) /Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller" device, click "Do not install a driver (Windows NT will not prompt you again)."
  7. If you are prompted for a driver for the Microsoft Joystick Port Enabler device, click Windows NT Default Driver, and then click OK.
  8. Restart the computer.
