I'm thinking I'll have to change an IRQ setting(because I plugged the card into a previously-empty slot that it fit into), but I don't know how to do that, and I don't know how to find out what to set it at.

When you installed your new soundcard in the PCI slot, did Win98 go through its usual "Auto Detecting New Hardware" routine? I presume you installed the correct sound drivers from the software that came with your SB16. If for whatever reason Windows doesn't detect new peripherals properly, you need to configure the card by going into the "Add New Hardware" Wizard under Control Panel.

Yeah, I checked this.

I've already made that mistake before. :)
