I've run into these cards before. The Az-Tech Sound Galaxy series is very odd,
emulating Sound Blaster at some times and Microsoft Windows Sound System at
other times. The Sound Blaster emulation is not expected to work in protected
mode, either.
As a practical matter, the card can be viewed as two separate cards. The best
way to get it to work is to support it as a pure Microsoft Windows Sound System
on a completely separate address and IRQ (here port 530h and IRQ 11). This may
require disabling Sound Blaster support.
