Windows Driver Configuration
In most cases, the DMAN PCI will install without a hitch. However, it is some-
times possible for PnP to run out of resources and a resource conflict will
result. This section focuses on driver configuration and also the elimination of
resource conflicts.
The SoundFusion Control Panel Applet
The DMAN PCI software installation places the SoundFusion properties page
in the Windows Control Panel. This properties page is used for specialized
configuration of the Crystal SoundFusion DSP onboard the DMAN PCI. You
may open the SoundFusion properties page by selecting Settings | Control
Panel | SoundFusion from the Windows Start menu.
There are three tabs in the properties page: General Properties, AEC, and
MIDI. General Properties controls the following settings:
• 3D Stereo Enhancement. Enabling this feature will increase the apparent
left/right channel separation of the outgoing audio. This “enhancement”
adds a large amount of coloration to the audio and may or may not be
what you desire for your use. This is disabled by default to avoid any
potential confusion.
