              Basic Sound Utilities for SB16, SB32, AWE32, AWE64

This file contains the basic sound utilties for the SB16, SB32, AWE32 and 
AWE64 cards.  DOS users can get SBBASIC.EXE for basic DOS and Windows 3.1 
utilties.

If you have DOS-based installation software, you should use that software
rather than this package.  THIS PACKAGE IS DESIGNED FOR WINDOWS 95 USERS WHO
DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER DOS-BASED INSTALL SOFTWARE.  If you have a PnP card, 
you must also have a PnP Configuration utility such as ICU or CTCM correctly 
installed.

INSTALLATION
------------
 1. Extract the contents of this archive to a temporary directory or empty
    floppy.  Change to this directory or disk.  Install this software from 
    a boot to a Command Prompt Only.  Anytime you are intructed to reboot, 
    boot to a Command Prompt Only.

    (Reminder:  If you have a PnP card, you must also have a PnP 
     Configuration utility such as ICU or CTCM correctly installed).

 2. Make a directory for the software.  We recommend using C:\SB16:

    C:
    MD \SB16

 3. Make a DRV subdirectory:

    C:
    MD \SB16\DRV

 4. Copy the DIAGNOSE.EXE program to the \SB16 directory:

    COPY DIAGNOSE.EXE C:\SB16

    SB32/AWE32/AWE64 users ONLY:  Copy the AWEUTIL.COM program to the \SB16
    directory:

    COPY AWEUTIL.COM C:\SB16

 6. Copy the mixer files to the \SB16 directory:

    COPY MIXERSET.EXE C:\SB16
    COPY MIXERSET.TXT C:\SB16
    COPY CTMIX.CFG C:\SB16

 7. Copy the DOS application drivers to the DRV directory:

    COPY AUXDRV.DRV C:\SB16\DRV
    COPY CTWDSK.DRV C:\SB16\DRV
    COPY CT*.SYS C:\SB16\DRV

 8. SB16 users ONLY:  Copy the CTMIDI-S.DRV file to both the \SB16 directory 
    AND the \SB16\DRV directory:

    COPY CTMIDI-S.DRV C:\SB16\CTMIDI.DRV
    COPY CTMIDI-S.DRV C:\SB16\DRV\CTMIDI.DRV

    SB32/AWE32/AWE64 users ONLY:  Copy the CTMIDI-A.DRV file to the \SB16 
    directory and the \SB16\DRV directory:

    COPY CTMIDI-A.DRV C:\SB16\CTMIDI.DRV
    COPY CTMIDI-A.DRV C:\SB16\DRV\CTMIDI.DRV


 9. From a DOS prompt, type SET and press enter.  If there is already a 
    SOUND= line displayed, skip to step 10.  If not edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT
    file and add the following line:

     SET SOUND=C:\SB16

    Reboot to have this change take effect.


10. Change to the \SB16 directory and run DIAGNOSE to test the card and 
    complete the setup.  At the end of the program after the output tests
    press <F10> to update the settings for the card.

    C:
    CD \SB16
    DIAGNOSE

11. When prompted to "Enter your boot-up drive for the program to update the
    CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files" enter the drive that you boot from (if
    this is C:, press enter.)

12. When prompted to "Enter the path fo your CTSB16.SYS or VIBRA16.SYS 
    driver" enter the path that these files were copied to earlier.  By 
    default, this should be C:\SB16\DRV\

13. When prompted to "Enter the path of your WINDOWS directory for the 
    program to update the SYSTEM.INI file" DO NOT PRESS ENTER, instead press
    the <ESC> key.

14. Exit the program and reboot by hand.

15. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add the following lines:

    C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S
    C:\SB16\MIXERSET /P

    SB32/AWE32/AWE64 users ONLY, add the following line:  
    
    C:\SB16\AWEUTIL /S

    (Reminder:  If you have a PnP card, you must also have a PnP 
     Configuration utility such as ICU or CTCM correctly installed).

DOS APPS

This package includes the following DOS apps:

DOS Mixer
DOS PLAY and RECORD commands

    (Reminder:  If you have a PnP card, you must also have a PnP 
     Configuration utility such as ICU or CTCM correctly installed BEFORE
     these apps will work).

DOS MIXER
When booting to a Command Prompt Only or shutting down into MSDOS mode this 
program can be used to adjust the volume settings on the card.  When in Win95
use the native 95 Volume Control or the Creative 95 mixer to adjust volumes.

Add MIXERSET /P to load the last saved set of values into the card (this line 
could be added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT or DOSSTART.BAT file).  See the 
MIXERSET.TXT file for a full list of command line parameters for this file.


DOS PLAY AND RECORD COMMANDS
These apps can be used to record and play .WAV files in DOS. Use PLAY /? or 
RECORD /? to see command line parameters that are currently available.

NOTE:  These programs REQUIRE that the DOS level drivers CTMMSYS.SYS and 
CTSB16.SYS be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS to work!  To setup these lines, run
DIAGNOSE /A and choose the update option after the sound tests (remember to 
press <ESC> when asked for the Windows directory).

The CTMMSYS.SYS and CTSB16.SYS files are ONLY needed by these programs.  It 
is recommended that these lines be REMed out of the CONFIG.SYS when not in 
use to conserve conventional memory.
