This file contains additional information and changes about the
various software that was not available at printing time.
Windows'31/Windows'95 Mixers
============================
The generic version of Window's Mixer for Windows3.1/Windows95 is still
not ready yet. In order for this software to support mixing functions
under both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, we have include both copies of
mixers for Win31 as well as Win95 in this release of software. Therefore,
if you are running under Windows3.1, you should make use of the 'Win31
Mixer', else select 'Win95 Mixer' when you are running under Windows95
environment.
Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE)
========================================
The above file is needed for operation of CD-ROM drives under the DOS
environment. This file is only bundled with DOS version 6.x. Therefore,
if you are using DOS version 5, please contact your local Microsoft's
dealers for a copy of MSCDEX.EXE.
CD-ROM Drives Support
=====================
The sound card supports the following CD-ROM drives:
Brand Models
--------- -----------------------------
Mitsumi - Model LU005S and FX001D
Sony - Model CDU31A and 33A
Aztech - Model CDA268-01A
CD-ROM Device Driver
====================
Sony CDU-31A/CDU-33A and Mitsumi LU005S/FX001D CD-ROM drivers are
not bundle in the software utility disk. These drivers will come
together with the CD-ROM drive that you had purchased.
The bundled CD-ROM device drivers supports only the following drive:
Driver CR-ROM Model
--------- -----------------------
SGCD268.SYS - Aztech CDA268-01A
Playing Microsoft Windows Sound System (MWSS) RMI Format Music Files
====================================================================
Our Audio drivers support playback of MWSS RMI MIDI files. However;
you are required to change the default setting from <FM Synth (Base)>
to <FM Synth (Ext)> in the MIDI-Mapper configuration table prior to
the playing of these MIDI files.
Using Microsoft Windows Sound System (MWSS V2.0)
================================================
If you are using MWSS and intend to activate the Audio Control icon,
ensure that the recording mode of your current Windows Mixer is set
to either Line or Mic, but not MIX (Mixer On). You can make the change
by activating the Recording Panel in the Windows Mixer, and click on
Line or Mic button.
Using Digital (.WAV) Audio with DOS 6.x's DoubleSpace*
======================================================
The DoubleSpace utility included with DOS 6.x can cause problems
if you attempt to play or record "high data rate" (i.e.: stereo/
44.1kHz/16-bit) digital audio to or from a compressed disk. In
DOSDAT or WinDAT, the symptom will be a "Disk Could Not Keep Up
With Digital Audio" error message, or in some cases the program
may even crash.
Therefore, if you anticipate that you will be playing or recording
a lot of stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit digital audio, you should set up a
non-compressed drive partition and configure both DOSDAT and WinDAT
to use this drive as their Work and Temp directories. In both
programs this is done from the Setup window.
For information on setting up a non-compressed partition for your
hard drive, refer to your DOS 6.x Users Guide.
*The same procedure should be followed if you are using Stacker, a
third-party disk compression utility.
Notes About Using EMM386.EXE
============================
When running applications with EMM386.EXE installed, the following
error message may appear:
"EMM386 DMA buffer is too small"
You can overcome this problem in two ways:
- remove the EMM386.EXE entry from the CONFIG.SYS file
OR
- add the following parameter to the EMM386.EXE entry in the
CONFIG.SYS file:
D=64
where D specifies how many kilobytes of memory should be
reserved for buffered Direct Memory Access (DMA).
An example of this may be:
C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE D=64
Updating Windows SYSTEM.INI
===========================
If you were to change the hardware settings of your sound card (by
jumpers), you will have to update the SYSTEM.INI found in your
windows directory.
1. Using a text editor, open up the SYSTEM.INI file.
2. Locate the [MM16.DRV] section.
Under this section, the following settings will have to be
updated according to your sound card's hardware settings:
DMADAC=<DMA channel>
DMAADC=<DMA channel>
Interrupt=<Wave IRQ>
IOAddress=<Wave Port Address>
MIDI_IRQ=<MIDI IRQ>
MIDI_Port=<MIDI Port Address>
