Install the 3D WebSound onto an existed Windows 95 system:

1.  Start the computer with Windows 95. From the Device Manager, remove
    all previously installed sound card drivers. Make sure that all
    references to these drivers are removed from the C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM
    directory.

2.  Switch off the computer and remove all other sound cards.

3.  Insert the 3D WebSound board firmly in an available ISA bus
    expansion slot and close the computer.

4.  Reboot or restart the computer.  As Windows 95 restarts,
    you may see a window explaining that it is "Building
    Driver information database".

5.  A window will show "New Hardware Found", and ask where the driver
    should be copied from.  Select "Driver from disk provided by hardware
    manufacturer", and then "OK". When it asks "Install From Disk",
    select correct path (eg. "A:\WIN95") and click "OK".

6.  Windows 95 will copy the driver and *.inf files onto the hard disk.
    Next, Windows 95 will find the MPU-401 controller and gameport/joystick
    logical devices one after the other. For each logical device, an
    installation window will appear, which either says: "Windows has found
    new hardware and is installing the software for it" or asks whether to
    use the Windows Default driver (select yes in this case).

7.  You will be able to tell that the driver is installed because a speaker
    horn symbol will show up on the task bar adjacent to the time. Next
    you will be able to play sounds using the "Sounds" item on the Control
    Panel. Also, in the Device Manager the "Analog Devices AD1816 Sound
    Controller" should show up under "Sound, video and game controllers" item.

    If your 3D WebSound has a YAMAHA wavetable on it. Follow these steps to
    enable the function of YAMAHA wavetable.

8.  Launch the Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Sound, video
    and game controllers -> the Analog Devices AD1816 Sound Controller.
    Select "Properties" on this device.

9.  On window "Analog Devices AD1816 Sound Controller Properties", select
    label "Setting". You then see "I2S 1" is disabled. Select the "Right
    Justified" for I2S 1 port, and click OK. The YAMAHA wavetable is
    enabled after the Windows 95 restarts.


Install the 3D WebSound while installation of Windows 95:

1.  Install your Windows 95 with whole media package. It is recommend not
    to check the "Sound, MIDI, or Video Capture Card" on installing your
    Windows 95.

2.  After the Windows 95 is installed, reboot your computer.

3.  Launch the Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Sound, video
    and game controllers. Remove all unknown devices (the devices with
    leading question marks).

4.  If you find a device "Analog Devices AD1816" in "Other devices",
    select it and click "Properties". Otherwise, reboot your Windows 95 now.

5.  On this window, choose "Driver", and then "Change Driver". When Windows 95
    asks for the driver, select "Have Disk", and then install the driver of
    3D WebSound board.

6.  Reboot the Windows 95.

1.  With this release comes a driver de-installation program, REMOVE.EXE.
    From the Task Bar, choose START|RUN.

2.  In the dialog box, type in the following:

	A:\WIN95\REMOVE.EXE

    and click on OK.

3.  Follow the instruction appearing next. If the intention was to remove
    the sound card from the PC, shut down Windows 95 and turn off the PC.
    Open it up and remove the sound card. Next, close the PC, and turn on the
    power again. If the intention was to re-install the driver, just restart
    Windows 95, and follow the installation instructions under Section E.

G.  W i l l o w   P o n d   M e d i a R a c k	I n s t a l l a t i o n

1.  From the Start button, select Run.

2.  Insert the installation diskette in floppy drive A and type:

	 A:\SETUP.EXE

    and hit Return.

3.  Follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTES:
If you are facing the popped up window "MIDI sequencer" while you select
the MIDI player in MediaRack application, do not worry. Click on OK button
can let the MIDI player keep working. You have two ways to eliminate this
problem. The first one is to check the icon before message "Don't display
this warning in the future" when you see message "This file may not play
correctly with the default MIDI setup". The second one is to select the
output of MIDI player to the "AD1815/6 FM MIDI". To do this, click the
menu icon "Select Menu", and then the "MIDI player". The first menu icon
should become "Midi". Click the menu icon "Midi", then "Select Output",
and you find the "AD1815/6 FM MIDI". Click on it and the job is done.

Installation:

Included with this release is a simple, but functional DOS mixer, called
MIXER.BAT. To install this utility, follow the instruction below:

1.  In Windows 95, open a DOS box. At the command line type:

	MD C:\ADISOUND

2.  Insert the installation diskette in Drive A: and type at the command line:

	COPY A:\WINDOWS\*MIXER.* C:\ADISOUND\.

    This will copy the files DOSMIXER.EXE, MIXER.BAT and DOSMIXER.CFG to your
    harddrive.

3.  From the DEVICE MANAGER, determine which I/O base address is set for the
    Windows Sound System codec. Open the file MIXER.BAT with an ASCII text
    editor, and change the switch /WSS:nnn to the value obtained from the
    DEVICE MANAGER. Save the file.

The mixer is used to control playback volumes for application with DOS
games. You should use MIXER.BAT to set the playback volume to a desired
level before starting a DOS game. The following volume controls are provided:

1.  Master volume control
2.  Wavetable volume control
3.  FM (OPL3) volume control
