Wait a minute!!  Is something wrong with my card, perhaps?  

Could somebody please comment specifically on the sound quality 
of each mode with KingsQuest 4 or KingsQuest 5 (brand new!) ... ?
Or perhaps Loom ?

On my system, the C/MS modes all sound like organ music to me,
with no real instrument sounds as in the Adlib modes.  Maybe something
is defective..  What should these games sound like in GameBlaster mode?
