Ahaa ... Odd. I don't have any Windows at all, so I can't test that.
Actually I get signal 11 if I try to configure Vice x64 for the cartridge
emulation, so I used command line options to start for testing this way:

x64 -sfxse -sfxsetype 3812 -autostart c64_play

This way not signal 11, etc, but not sound at all, and not only with my
code, but also not with the official sound expander demo disk's program
either ...

Does anybody want to donate a 3812 equipped sound expander cartridge for me?
:) :) :)
