Fellow Users;

    I am looking for a software sound driver to simulate a sound card that
    will play .WAV files through my pc speaker....(I realize it won't sound
    like a Adlib card...but it's better than <beep>)....more specifically, I
    want to use this "sound driver" under windows 3.1 to play them .WAV files.

    Anyone got any suggestions???

There's actually an option to enable/disable 'rupts while the .WAV
thing happens (see Control Panel / Drivers / PC-Speaker / Setup).  The
noises get even worse sounding, if that's possible, but at least the
mouse can move...
