4. Installing Crystal Audio Drivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WINDOWS 95
==========
1. Windows95 will detect the PCI Multimedia Audio device. Press the NEXT
button.
2. The driver for the Crystal SoundFusion (tm) PCI Audio will be requested
by the Operating System. Enter the drive letter assigned to your CDROM
or press the BROWSE button and search for the CDROM Drive or the
location of the driver files. Once the path has been provided, press
the FINISH button.
3. Again, Windows95 will request that you provide the Crystal
SoundFusion(tm) Disk. Press the OK button to continue, then
provide the path to the location of the driver files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Uninstalling or Updating Crystal Audio Drivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. From the Windows START menu, run SETUP.EXE located in the Crystal
SoundFusion(tm) CD and select Install or Uninstall. This application
will do an automatic clean-up of the Windows 95 Crystal Audio registry
entries.
NOTE: Many problems with reinstallation occur because of existing
registry entries from previous installations and because of the
\WINDOWS\INF\OEMx.INF files. After running SETUP.EXE, the various
Crystal devices should not be listed in the Device Manager window.
2. Restart your system. If you want to remove or install any hardware,
select the SHUTDOWN option and turn off your PC.
3. Turn PC on. Upon loading, Windows 95 will detect new hardware, create
an information database, and proceed with the installation of Crystal
device drivers (as described in the previous section)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. CWCAUDIO.INF Settings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Enabling ZV Port
By default, the ZV port support is disabled. To enable it, change the
following entry (found the the [CS4610.AddReg] section):
Default value : HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Pass,PollOnZV,1,00,00,00,00
ZV Enabled : HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Pass,PollOnZV,1,01,00,00,00
2. Resource control for Crystal SoundFusion(tm) Game Device
Two entries are used to manage the resources used by the game device.
a) Driver loading enable is controlled by the entry:
HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Algorithms\Blaster,Enabled,1,01,00,00,00
By default, loading the Game Device is enabled. This means that if
this entry is missing (or commented out) the Game Device will be
enabled.
To prevent this driver from loading (disable the Game Device),
please change the entry to:
HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Algorithms\Blaster,Enabled,1,00,00,00,00
The device will not load, No Soundblaster(tm) emulation is provided
and no resources will be required by it.
b) The second INF entry serves as a mask register to control the
possible interrupts for assignment to the Game device:
HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Algorithms\Blaster,Resources,1,00,00,a0,06
The default value is to make all possible interrupts (5, 7, 9, 10)
valid to be assigned by the Windows configuration manager. This
means that if this entry is missing (or commented out), all
interrupts are available for PNP assignment.
The two high order bytes are 0. The third byte is the low order
byte, and represents interrupts 0-7 :
BIT -> 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
IRQ -> 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
For example, the value "a0" (shown above) enables interrupts 5
and 7:
BIT -> 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
VALUE -> 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 (a0h)
IRQ -> 7 5
As another example, a value of "08" would only include int 3:
BIT -> 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
VALUE -> 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 (08h)
IRQ -> 3
The next byte represents interrupts 8-15 :
BIT -> 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
IRQ -> 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8
For example, the "06" (shown above) enables interrupts 9 and
10:
BIT -> 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
VALUE -> 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0
IRQ -> 10 9
NOTE that the entire mask example permits interrupts 5,7,9,and 10.
3. Resource Control for the Joystick Device Driver
The Joystick Driver loading enable is controlled by the entry:
HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Algorithms\Joystick,Enabled,1,01,00,00,00
By default, this entry is commented out - which means that the
driver is enabled.
To prevent this driver from loading (disable), please change the
entry to (make sure that the line is not commented out - has a
semi-colon at the beginning of the line):
HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\Algorithms\Joystick,Enabled,1,00,00,00,00
4. Changing the default Recording Input:
The RecMuxValue under [Mixer.AddReg] controls the default recording
input. The following table shows the values for the recording mux
input:
0 Mic
1 CD
2 Video
3 Aux
4 Line
5 Loopback
By default, the recording input is set to Mic. The CWCAUDIO.INF
entry is the following:
HKR,Config\Mixer,RecMuxValue,,"0"
5. Hardware Volume Control
The following CWCAUDIO.INF entry controls the Hardware Volume
polling (the default value is disabled) :
;HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\ControlPanel,HardwareMasterVolumeUsed,,"0"
To enable this feature, please modify the CWCAUDIO.INF entry to be :
HKLM,%KEY_BASE%\ControlPanel,HardwareMasterVolumeUsed,,"1"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Known Problems and Limitations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Playing MIDI, CD audio, wave and capture when AEC is turned ON, may slow
down the system.
- The joystick calibration for DOS games may be poor.
- Play or capture may cause intermitent noise when ZV port is enabled.
- The system my prompt for a restart when the audio device Disabled or
removed from device manager.
- Audio may sound temporarly abnormal after a suspend/resume sequence while
playing a MIDI file using FM as the preferred MIDI playback device.
- When three waves files or more are played simultaneously through Media
Player and the system is suspended, then some stuttering will be heard
upon resuming.
- The S/P DIF out left channel may occasionally be distorted.
