[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Bad sound with new VGA card

bfw@calmasd.Prime.COM (Brian Wilson) (05/09/90)

I just purchased a VGA card for my XT clone.  It's an Oak VGA with
256K.  A real cheapo!  Since I have installed this card, the sound 
on my PC is not working correctly.  Instead of the tones that it is 
supposed to generate the speaker just clicks or leaves the sound off 
entirely.  

On one program, LHX helicopter simulator, the sound is incomplete
unless I run another game first.  The other game does something that 
enables the LHX game to work correctly.  

Does anyone have any insight in to the problem or have any suggestions
for remedying it.

Thanks a lot
