5. D r i v e r I n s t a l l a t i o n
a. Windows 3.1x
1. Turn on the computer 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 computer and remove all other sound cards.
3. Insert the AD1815/16 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 computer, and start MS-Win3.1x. In the PROGRAM MANAGER,
select File|Run. Insert the driver installation diskette in the
A: drive, and type A:INSTALL.EXE. Click on OK, and follow
the instructions.
The installation program reads the first line of a file named DEVICE.DEF
for the device description. Install looks for the string ADSxxxx so that
the correct configuration dialogs are displayed. If the installation is
for an AD1816 with external EEPROM the other lines (IO1, DEF_1, etc)
contain the available I/O addresses, interrupts and D.M.A. channels
supported, as well as the default selections. If no I/O address is
given then it is assumed that the extra logical device is not in use.
Please separate all numbers in the sequence with spaces. Also, I/O
addresses are assumed to be hex, interrupt and D.M.A. are decimal.
The following are the strings defined for the different devices that
the install program can support.
ADS1815 == AD1815
ADS1816 == AD1816(A) without MODEM logical device
ADS7180 == AD1816(A) with MODEM logical device (displays COM port info)
ADS7185 == AD1816A with Super logical device
The line specifying the target device (AD1815, AD1816) must be the first
line in the file. If an AD1815 or an AD1816 with no external eeprom is being
installed, the first line in the device.def file should be either ADS1815
(for the AD1815) or ADS1816 (for the AD1816).
An example file specifying an AD1816 with an extra logical device is as
follows (AD1816, no Modem, 1 extra logical dev)::
ADS1816
VID ADS7180
NAME My Logical Device
IO1 300 308 310 318 3A0 3A8
DEF_1 300
IO1_R 8
IO2
DEF_2
IO2_R

Once the computer has rebooted, start MS-Win3.1x and install the
Willow Pond MediaRack according to the instructions below.
b. DOS
To install the files for DOS, copy all the files on the distribution
disk to a directory of your choice on your hard drive.
The mixer utility is supplied in two versions.
1: A TEXT ONLY version (mix1816t.exe) is useful where it is
desirable to conserve conventional memory.
2: A more user friendly GRAPHICAL version (mix1816g.exe)
will require approximately 460k.
Both programs are functionally identical and accept the same
command line switches. Please note that MIX1816G.EXE requires
approximately 460K of conventional memory. If this amount is
not free, it will invoke the text version.
The SoundBlaster address is assumed to be at 220h, but there is no
default for the WSS port. This must be specified by the /WSS:nnn
switch. If this port is not specified, the 3D & MPU controls will
not function.
Type "mix1816t /HELP" to obtain a listing of valid switches.
These programs also share the same configuration file DOSMIXER.CFG.
The functionality of the I2S ports and the external control circuits
are controlled by the xctl0Funct, xctl1Funct, I2S0Mode and I2S1Mode
variables. Read the related note at the end of the configuration file,
named DOSMIXER.CFG.
The configuration utility, named AD1815_6.exe , is a text only
program used to redefine resource allocations that set the AD1816
in the operating system. To change the default choices provided
by ADI, refer to the list of options, type
ad1815_6 /H
The mixer is used to control playback volumes for application with
DOS games. You should use MIX1816G.EXE (GUI version) or MIX1816T.EXE
(command line text version) 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. Wavetable (Aux2) volume control
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. 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 diskette with the Willow Pond MediaRack installation files
in floppy drive A:. Type A:\MRACK\SETUP.EXE, and hit Return.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: Refer to the AD1815/16 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
The INSTALL.EXE utility also installs 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 AD1815/16. This RESOURCE CONFIGURATION utility is
installed with a program group called AD1815/16 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. Extra logical devices (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. C U S T O M I Z A T I O N O F M I X E R.
The AD1815/6 driver supports user customizable Mixer definitions.
The file WPUNIMIX.INI contains the names of all controls
defined for the AD1815/6 driver. Using this tool, it is possible to
reduce the number of controls displayed by the mixer.
Modifications can be made to the display states of all the mixer's
sources, destinations and controls.
Any of three properties for each control can be changed. These
three properties are of the form:
<short-name>ShortName=Volume
<short-name>LongName=Stereo Mix Volume
<short-name>Disable=1
Where <short-name> is the "original" short name for the line or control.
ShortName=Volume will appear on the Mediarack application software
LongName=Volume will appear on the Win 95 mixer application software
For example, if you wanted to rename the "Aux1 Volume" control to
refer to the Internal CD play connection, make the following changes
to the WPUNIMIX.INI file.
Volume ControlShortName=IntCD
Volume ControlLong=Computers Internal CD
if you wanted to remove a control from the Mixer, the following
example shows how that is accomplished:
Modem VolumeDisable=1
A suggested wpunimix.ini file is enclosed in this release disk.
you can customize it using the instructions above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. 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 MIX1816G.EXE or MIX1816T.EXE to set volume levels appropriately
4. Run the DOS game.
