You can easily find drivers on the net, just look for the CTxxxx code on the card and google it. Together with the drivers, you'll also find instructions on how to set the card.
Or, just post the CTxxxx code here and we'll help
Some SB cards are PnP so it's easy to configure them, but older ones have a bunch of jumpers to set [for IRQ, DMA, etc...]

What a coincidence! I just put 8-bit Soundblaster 2.0 (CT1350) in my XT today
You have to set using jumpers on the card and then write a line in autoexec.bat:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1
A: port address (usually A220 or A240)
I: IRQ
D: DMA on/off
But I don't have any software to test it with

Really - it's a clone .
PC-Wonder II
But I needed to set it up as SB 2.0 card.
I wanted to run 8088 corruption demo on my Amstrad PC1512 because IBM XT is waiting for parts...
Demo crashed after a while and there was no sound.
I've set berfore running 'SET BLASTER=a220 d1 i2 t3'.
The card is compatible with SB and AdLib.
And offtopic question:
Is there composite text mode 40x25 with 16 colours?

I am loading it in my XT now (laplink takes a long time).
It has DOS 3.3 just formatted, only config.sys has BUFFERS=20 and autoexec.bat has sound card SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1
Maybe it didn't like Hercules CGA card in my 5150. IBM has all original IBM cards so there is no reason why it will not work!

Yes, XT has 640kB mainboard
8088 Corruption does run... it seems you need IBM CGA rather than Hercules CGA.
However, it keeps stopping through it, and halfway it just freeze.
I'll try Norton Utilities 4.5
