FrontTech Sound Card NOT Working ?. Please Advice

[Sriram]

Sir,
I Recently bought a FrontTech Sound Card CMI8738. I have a 100 MHz CPU
(Pentium - S). 32MB RAM. I am running Win95.
I inserted the sound card in the available slot and installed the
drivers from the intallation CD.

But it is not working.

The seller is refusing to take back the sound card.
What to do ?

How to make it work.

After i installed the driver. i rebooted the system. during booting it
gave a black screen saying exception occurred in some dll (See Below).
What should i do. Will the sound card work in my system (100Mz Pentium
- S)
Please Help.

First Message I get When i start my computer after installing drivers.
This message also comes when i try to play from mp3 file.

First Screen:
A fatal Exception 07 has occurred at 0028:C1013B63 in VXD cmaudio (01)
+ 00029497.

That sound card is not compatible with win 95 if it is the 5.1 channel
variety.
