You are right, it is not sb16 compatible, (ESS1868) but I have had it
working before, and I made no changes to the packages, the only change was
FAT -> FAT32 on the drives that hold the pak files, and a new motherboard.
I know either of these could be the problem, but I am stumped as to where
it can be fixed.
I can use `squake -sndbits 8' to get sound "better" but it then clicks
intermittently with the start of sounds.
