[Dx4win] SB16 Soundcard & PSK31 Error

Hello,

Having now successfully (?) installed a second soundcard (I now have an old
ISA SoundBlaster16) I have an error message when trying to run PSK31 which
says - "card doesn't support 16 bit 8000Hz mono format".

Why should this be?  The SB16 works fine for voice keying (i.e. with
Writelog and a RIGblaster) but why the apparent problem with DX4WIN & PSK31?

Oh, if anyone is interested, the trick to get the two soundcards installed
correctly under Windows was to FULLY remove the original soundcard (by that
I mean, remove *all* the software drivers and physically remove the card),
then install the ISA card (SB16) manually (not PnP)  plus software followed
by the PCI card (mine is a Yamaha DX-SG).  Sounds easy just saying it like
that - took a while to figure out the correct sequence of doing things
though!

Anyway, any SB16 users that can advise on the PSK31 error ?
