The FCC id is 138 MMSN852, but this site doesn't recognize it.

The doc. says it supports "all three major sound standards", one of which is
WSS, but I believe that one is disabled.  I don't have the doc here now,
and I'm a bit confused about the naming of the standards, as they seem
to be called by synonyms in different places.  The other two were, I think,
Sound Blaster and MPU 401. 

Since it is so old, and sound cards are relatively cheap, and I suspect
it is broken, maybe I should just buy another and not spend time on this.  
But I also sort of hate to give up without understanding what is going on.
