Here is some follow-on information about sound cards for RiTTY by K6STI:

1. I personally know of two sound cards which work fine with RiTTY: The 
Creative Labs model CT-1740 and CT-1790. I have used both of these and I 
can verify that they work with no problems.

2 Several years ago Jim, VE7FO said the Creative AWE64 worked for him. I 
have not tried that one myself, but if Jim says it works, I'm sure it does.

3. In your autoexec.bat file there needs to be a SETBLASTER command.
      For the CT-1740 use this: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P300 T6
      For the CT-1790 use this: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H6 P300 T6

Here is a website which explains the various settings:

There are lots of these old cards gathering dust in closets somewhere since 
they are no longer considered state of the art. The trick is finding one. 
eBay is a good place to start, although I just checked and there are none 
listed at the moment. Keep trying. RiTTY is such a fantastic performer it 
is well worth the effort.
