I had a similar problem with my Escom badged Aztech Sound Galaxy Nxpro
sound card. By default this sets up a Virtual Parallel Port at address
278H. This is reported by MSD. The purpose of this is to simulate the
old "Disney Sound-Source" (which I think was basically an ADC plugged
into the printer port). I was able to disable this by running the
sgcox.exe utility provided, (but not documented in the "user manual") or
by removing jumpers J1 & J2 from the sound card.

I can't help with your other problems I'm afraid.
