V. Problem Determination
  1. If you get a popup complaining about the capabilities of your audio
     device, it may be that your audio card doesn't support the
     sample rate or size used by bamba. If you want to verify the
     capabilities of your audio card DAUDIO.EXE and DAUDIO.WAV are
     provided. Copy both of these files to the same directory and
     execute DAUDIO. If this fails your audio card will not support Bamba
     under OS/2.
