That's not my experience. I have a PnP BIOS, but how do you know what
settings it has allocated the sound card to tell the sound driver?
Especially when all the other OSs will do their own resource management
on the card, eg Win95 and even Creative's DOS software includes
the Intel plug and play manager. If you knew what IO and IRQ it had
been allocated then it might work, but if you add any more cards
it may well change.
I use isapnptools here and it works just fine.
