MS-Win3.1x:
1. Turn on the PC and start MS-Win3.1x. Remove all previously installed sound card
drivers. Make sure that all references to these drivers are removed from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS and SYSTEM.INI files.
2. Switch off the PC and remove all other sound cards.
3. Insert the AD1815/AD1816 sound card firmly in an available ISA bus expansion slot and
close the computer. Connect a speaker pair to the Line_Out or Speaker connector on the
sound card's face plate.
4. Turn on the PC, and start MS-Win3.1x. In the PROGRAM MANAGER, select
File|Run. Insert the driver installation diskette in the A: drive, and type
A:\WIN31\SETUP.EXE. Click on OK, and follow the instructions.
Once the PC has rebooted, start MS-Win3.1x and install the Willow Pond MediaRack according to the instructions below.
DOS:
If you are running DOS only, and do not have MS-Win3.1x installed on your computer, follow
the steps below.
1. Turn on the PC and remove all references to previously installed sound cards from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and the CONFIG.SYS files.
2. Turn off the PC, open it and remove all previously installed sound cards. Firmly insert the
AD1815 or the AD1816 sound card in an empty ISA slot, and close the PC again.
3. Turn on the PC, insert the installation diskette in floppy drive A: and type the following at
the DOS prompt:
A:\WIN31\DOSSETUP.BAT
Hit return.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. D r i v e r D e - I n s t a l l a t i o n
1. With this release comes a driver de-installation option. Start MS-Win3.1x. In the
Program Manager, select FILE|RUN. In the dialog box, type:
A:\WIN31\uninstall.exe or click UNINSTALL ICON.
3. In the main SETUP panel, select:
DRIVER UNINSTALLATION
The driver will be removed as well as all references in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and the
CONFIG.SYS files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Wi 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. Start MS-Win3.1x, if it is not already running. In Program Manager,
select File|Run.
2. Insert the installation diskette in floppy drive A:. Type the following
in the dialog box:
A:\MRACK\SETUP.EXE
and click on OK.
The Willow Pond MediaRack will be installed next. Follow the instructions on the
screen.
Note: Refer to the AD1815/AD1816 Red/Yellow Coral user's manual for detailed instructions
on the operation and customization of the MediaRack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. R e s o u r c e Co n f i g u r a t i o n U n d e r M S - W i n 3 . 1 x
The SETUP.EXE utility installs also a resource configuration utility under MS-Win3.1x for reconfiguration of the I/O base addresses, IRQs and DMAs of the various devices on the AD1815/AD1816. This RESOURCE CONFIGURATION utility is installed with a program group called AD1815/AD1816 SOUNDPORT. You can use this utility to setup the
resources for the:
1. Windows Sound System Codec
2. SoundBlaster codec
3. MPU-401 driver
4. Gameport/Joystick driver
5. OPL3 (FM) synthesizer
7. IDE CD-ROM controller (only functional on the AD1816A SoundPort Controller)
These resources, except for the IDE CD-ROM controller, can also be setup through the Willow Pond driver SETUP utility from the CONTROL PANEL|DRIVER configuration panel. The Willow Pond driver SETUP utility allows in addition the configuration of:
1. 3D sound
2. I2S input formats
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. R e s o u r c e C o n f i g u r a t i o n U n d e r D O S
Included with this release is a simple, but functional DOS resource configuration manager, called DOSCFG.EXE, for the sound codec, the gameport/joystick, the FM synthesizer, the midi port and the IDE controller. DOSCFG.EXE is installed by SETUP.EXE in the directory C:\ADISOUND (the default installation directory if you did not change it at installation).
DOSCFG.EXE is the equivalent of the MS-Win3.1x RESOURCE CONFIGURATION utility. DOSCFG.EXE gives the user the ability to setup the AD1816 entirely from the DOS command line.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. V o l u m e C o n t r o l U n d e r D O S
Included with this release is a simple, but functional DOS mixer, called MIXER.BAT. During installation of the device driver, the SETUP.EXE program copies MIXER.BAT into the directory C:\ADISOUND (the default installation directory if you did not change it at installation).
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. LineOut volume control
3. FM (OPL3) volume control
4. CD-Audio (Aux1) volume control
5. Wavetable (Aux2) volume control
6. Line-in volume control
7. Mic-In volume control
1. At the DOS command line, type:
C:\ADISOUND\MIXER.BAT
2. Follow the menu options to set desired volume levels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. P l a y i n g D O S g a m e s
Important:
Playing DOS games in an MS-Win3.1x DOS box can sometimes be problematic. To get around this, follow the instructions below:
1. Exit from MS-Win3.1x
3. Invoke MIXER.BAT to set volume levels appropriately
4. Run the DOS game.
Note: In case you encounter problems setting the music card in a DOS game to GENERAL MIDI, try turning on the Aux2 channel (Wavetable channel) via the Willow Pond MediaRack under MS-Win3.1x. Exit from MS-Win3.1 and run the game in DOS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
