README.TXT ========== This file contains additional information to supplement your manual. Please read all the sections before you proceed to install your audio card. This file contains the following sections: 1. DOS drivers 2. Blaster line 3. Playing MIDI files in GS mode 4. Full-duplex constraints 5. Online documentation 6. Acknowledgements 1. DOS DRIVERS During Custom Installation, you have the options to include the following DOS drivers to your CONFIG.SYS file. DEVICE=<C:\dir>\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 DEVICE=<C:\dir>\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS where <C:\dir> is the directory where your audio card software is installed and BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 indicates the hardware resources used by your audio card. For Plug and Play (PnP) audio cards, the hardware resources will be allocated by the PnP Configuration Manager which comes with your package. In this case, the statement that loads this PnP configuration manager in the CONFIG.SYS file must be placed before the statements which load your DOS audio drivers. 2. BLASTER LINE The BLASTER line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6 will not have any effect if you are using a Plug and Play audio card for the same reason as above. 3. PLAYING MIDI FILES IN GS MODE For audio cards equiped with 512KB of RAM memory or more, you can configure it using the AWE Control Panel to play the MIDI file SFX.MID in GS Mode for the best effects. 4. FULL-DUPLEX CONSTRAINTS Your audio card supports full-duplex recording and playback. However, to make full use of this feature, please make sure you observe the following constraints: a. Start only one session of simultaneous playback and recording. b. Use the same sampling rate for both operations. c. Preferably play back and record audio files which are in uncompressed (that is, Pulse Code Modulation or PCM) wave format. d. Reduce the sampling rate for both operations if your audio playback and recording session is too slow. e. Start your Windows in enhanced and not standard mode. f. Check that the version number of the CSPMAN.DLL file in your Windows system directory is 3.51 or later. NOTE: The Full-Duplex and DirectSound capabilities are mutually exclusive. If you activate the full-duplex feature, the DirectSound capability cannot be enabled. And vice versa. 5. ONLINE DOCUMENTATION To help you get information on the applications in this package easily, we have compiled a set of online documentation which can be accessed from your audio card's group window. Just double-click on the icon(s) with names that start with the words "How to Use". 6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The included version of SB16FM.DRV is from Voyetra Technologies.
