SUMMARYDrivers for the Thunder Board audio card from Media Vision are available in the Microsoft Windows version 3.1 package. The drivers supplied with Windows 3.1 use the Sound Blaster 1.5 driver to play wave audio files on the Thunder Board. An updated wave audio driver written specifically for the Thunder Board is available as part of the Windows 3.1 Windows Driver Library (WDL). The updated driver can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) at (425) 936-6735. The file containing the driver is called THUNDR.EXE. After updating the Thunder Board driver, remove the VSBD.386 and SNDBLST2.DRV files from your Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory.
