PLEASE READ
-------------------------------------------------
By using the following Windows 3.1 Driver Library
(the "Software"), you are hereby agreeing to the
included license agreement. Please review the
file LICENSE.TXT.
The PC Speaker driver may not produce high quality
sound on all computer systems. The performance
of the PC Speaker driver is largely dependent upon
the hardware itself. Microsoft does not guarantee
that the speaker driver will work with all
computer systems.
"Enable interrupts during playback" Setup Option
------------------------------------------------
By default, the PC Speaker driver disables all
interrupts while playing sounds for optimal sound
quality. As a result, you will noticed that the
mouse cursor, keyboard or other processes will not
respond while sounds are being played through the
PC Speaker. You can set PC Speaker to enable
interrupts for serial port activity and mouse
movements in the PC Speaker setup dialog, at the
expense of sound quality.
To set this option:
- Run Control Panel
- Open the Drivers icon
- Select the Sound Driver for PC Speaker from
the list of Installed Drivers
- Choose Setup
- Select or clear the Enable interrupts during
playback check box.
Note: It may be necessary to select option when
running some communication applications.
Using the PC Speaker driver with AST systems
--------------------------------------------
If you experience problems using the PC Speaker
driver on an AST system, you should contact AST
Technical Support at 1-800-727-1278.
Using Media Player with the PC Speaker driver
---------------------------------------------
The version of Media Player provided with Windows
3.1 does not play *.WAV files with the PC Speaker
driver. To play *.WAV files, you should use Sound
Recorder. Windows 3.1 will install the Sound
Recorder icon in your Accessories Program Manager
group.
