I've had a Soundblaster board for a few months and it works fine from
DOS.  I recently installed Windows 3.0.... When I try to run a game
that uses the Soundblaster (specifically, Night Shift and Railroad
Tycoon), although some music comes through, it is really trashed.
I've looked through the recent FAQ list in comp.windows.ms and didn't
see any mention of sound boards.  I've tried giving the individual
games more memory via the pif editor but that didn't help (probably
because I did it wrong).

Is there a way to get my Soundblaster to work under Windows?  If not
directly, is there a way to start my games from Windows yet have
Windows *pause* itself, or somehow get out of the way and have it not
interfere with the game?

(I have a 20 something MHz 386 machine with 4M memory and I run
Windows in 386-enhanced mode.)

Thanks.
