This SoundBlaster 32 PnP was in bad shape when it arrived at my doorstep. In a previous repair attempt, I straightened pins, resoldered the main audio IC, and tested the card. Unfortunately, my test system refused to boot and stopped at POST code 'C0'. Today, I want to give this card another chance because I have learned something new (and I discovered a mistake I made in my previous video).
