That is VERY strange. The problem most people appear to be having (and which I had until I updated the sound driver on my gateway machine) is that they can click on continuous sound but still get nothing.
When you run the command
747 /s
The first screen you should see is
"soundblaster available"
when you click Y it'll then go on to other configuration screens, i.e. DMA channel, IRQ number, base address. It should then say "checking sound board... please wait..." and at this point you should hear a recording of the speedbrakes lever moving from "Arm" to "Up"
Do you hear this recording?
