MANUAL INSTALLATION
You may also manually install the PCMCIA Sound Module device driver if
the default setting conflicts with your system. Perform the following
procedure to complete the manual installation.
1.
Copy the files PCMSND.EXE from the PCMCIA Sound Module device
driver disk to your hard disk.
2.
Add the following lines near the BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=
drive:\path
\PCMSND.EXE /P220 /I10
where
drive:\path
specifies the directory containing file PCMSND.EXE.
If your CONFIG.SYS file is already loaded with PCMCIA software, such as
Cardsoft of SystemSoft or Cardtalk of Databook, it is necessary to add the
above line AFTER the PCMCIA software. Otherwise, the PCMCIA interface
card will not be initialized properly. To make sure if any PCMCIA software
has been loaded in your system and to know more about PCMCIA, please
refer to the section of “PCMCIA Software Information”.
PCMSND.EXE is the device driver for the PCMCIA Sound Module. The
parameters of PCMSND.EXE are described as below:
/P
is used to set the I/O ports, and the valid I/O ports are 220-22F, 230-
23F, and 240-24F. The default setting is
/P220
.
/I
is used to set the IRQ number, the valid IRQs are 5, 7, 9, 10, and the
default setting is
/I10.
3.
After the system is rebooted, you also will have to install the Windows
device driver for Sound. Go to Windows and insert the Audio
Application Software Disk #1 into a floppy drive. Run the File Manager
and select the drive containing Audio Application Software Disk#1.
Find and double-click file setup.exe. Once you see the Audio
Applications Setup window, select the Driver Installation, then select
the Custom Board Configuration button to set the proper Sound I/O
address, Interrupt (IRQ number) and DMA channel. The I/O address
and Interrupt number are the same as you selected in INSTALL
program. The DMA should be set at 0.
Note: Due to the lack of DMA channel support in the PCMCIA structure,
some of the DOS GAME will not play Sound properly.
