directory. The syntax for this variable is as follows:
SOUND= path
where path is the drive and directory of the audio software

and after the equal sign.
BLASTER Environment Variable
The BLASTER environment variable specifies the base I/O address,
IRQ line, and DMA channels of the audio interface. Its syntax is:
BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
The values shown above may be different for your system. No
space is allowed before and after the equal sign. However,
there must be at least a space between parameters.
