How do you find out the port, DMA, and IRQ of a sound card?

What OS?? I will assume Windows 95/98. Go to device manager and select Properties while Computer is highlighted. You will be able to find the information you need there.

I didn't find anything there. I selected my sound card driver and showed.. Interrupt request: 9 and that's all..

What do you mean by "port"? To find out if it's using the PCI or ISA port just look :p

IRQ is the abbreviation for Interrupt request...so your card is on IRQ 9

not sure what you mean by DMA...it's just a type of interface the computer uses to access the memory.

I think I may be confused.. Heh. I basically want to find out everything that I'd need to set the blaster environment of the card in autoexec.bat.
