Before PO7.2 for Win95 and PO7.2 for WinNT there was PO7.1 for Win3.1 and
it did have a problem with the MS sound driver(SNDEVNTS.DRV). The file
should be in \windows or \windows\system. An entry should point to it in
WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI. Maybe the install is detecting some other sounds
driver by mistake. Try removing any sound driver and installing.
FYI:The sound driver info is in the release note...
