Diagnostics Test Box
Select the associated test button to test each option. The status of
each test is displayed to the left of each test button. A "fail" result
does not necessarily mean a sound card hardware failure. For
instance, the DMAN does not have the FM synth or joystick port
features which are included in the test. These tests will fail simply
because these features are not present. If the diagnostic program
accesses the hardware using the communication parameters
listed the test will be graded "Fail".
IMPORTANT:
When running CS32DIAG.EXE, the FM Synth
and Joystick tests will fail because there is no joystick or FM
synth hardware on DMAN. These failures do not mean that
there is anything wrong with DMAN.
If you encounter any problems while running diagnostics or
during normal DOS operations at a later date, refer to the “DOS
Troubleshooting” section.
DMAN DOS Mixer Utility
As part of the DMAN Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 installation,
the DOS sound mixer program CS32MIX.EXE is installed on your
hard disk. This program is a DOS graphical interface and
command line mixer utility that controls the same features as the
Windows sound mixer utility. The program may also be run as a
command line, with arguments, from the DOS prompt or in a
DOS batch file. In fact, the DMAN Windows software installation
will place a CS32MIX command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
that is run at boot time to initialize the mix levels of your DMAN.
To run the program as a graphical interface, type CS32DIAG and
press the [ENTER] key. The Mixer is then displayed in a
graphical form that is controlled by the keyboard or mouse (if the
mouse driver is installed.)
