Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
Installing the Windows NT 3.51 Sound Driver on the OmniBook 800
System Installation Requirements:
HP OmniBook 800 with Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
Workstation installed.
HP OmniBook 800 drivers for sound. These drivers are
located on the HP OmniBook 800 hard drive in the
C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WINNT\AUDIO directory. The files can
also be found on the HP OmniBook 800 recovery CD-ROM.
Procedure:
The sound chip for the OmniBook 800 is integrated into
the system board of the unit. Enter the BIOS of the HP
OmniBook 800 by pressing F2 upon booting the system. Once
in the BIOS, confirm that the audio is set to the following
settings by choosing the Input/Output menu, Audio Ports,
and then choose Advanced Audio. The following settings
should be confirmed (these are the default settings):
Audio Wave 2 Audio
IRQ 5 IRQ 5
DMA 1 DMA 5
Address 220
If the settings do not match the above, change them to
match by using the tab key. Or if you wish to change the
settings so that no conflicts occur in your environment,
change the settings, although these default settings are
highly recommended. Once the settings are correct, save
and exit the BIOS and load Microsoft Windows NT 3.51
Workstation.
From the Main Program Group, double click on the
Control Panel icon.
From within Control Panel, double click on the
Drivers icon.
Windows NT brings up a drivers windows. Choose Add
from this window.
At the next window, choose OK. This selects the
default option (Unlisted or Updated Driver).
Windows NT will now ask for the location of the driver.
Enter the correct location of the driver files at the prompt
then choose OK.
The following driver will appear in the window:
ES1887 AudioDrive 1.06.06. Choose OK to install this driver.
A Driver Exists dialog box will appear. Choose New to continue
installation.
The driver will need to know an appropriate I/O
address. These settings must match what the BIOS settings
are for sound. Choose the default 220 address by selecting
Continue. The driver will now need to know the
appropriate resources to use. In the Settings dialog box
choose the following settings (these are the defaults, if
you changed the settings in the BIOS for some reason, you
will need to make the same changes here):
I/O Address: 220
Capture DMA: 1
Capture IRQ: 5
MPU 401 Address: 330
Playback DMA: 5
Once the following has been entered choose OK. Windows
NT will load the driver then prompt you that you must
reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
Choose to reboot the OmniBook 800 now. After completion
of the reboot, the audio capabilities should work under
Windows NT 3.51 Workstation.
