This page gives you a short overview of supported soundcards for OS/2 & eCS.
Being recommended by IBM to its OS/2 customers in the EWWS NewsFlash (issue 2/2004), this list is one of the most comprehensive and clear overviews available about OS/2 and soundcards.
Older cards (ISA) may also work, check out the os2warp.be Compatible Hardware List.
Note:
To complete the list, we also need feedback!
Thanks to Alex Taylor for initial work.
