Turning on PC sounds

To have Sound Blaster and other PC sounds played through the Macintosh
speaker or through headphones, you need to make settings in both the PC
Setup control panel and in the Sound control panel.

Choosing a setting in the Sound pop-up menu

The Sound pop-up menu in the PC Setup control panel gives you three
choices:

m

To hear PC sounds in both the PC environment and the Mac OS, choose
Enabled.

m

To hear PC sounds only when you’re in the PC environment, choose
Auto Enabled.

m

To shut off PC sounds entirely, choose Disabled.

Sound control panel takes precedence: The setting in the PC Setup control
panel’s Sound pop-up menu has no effect on sounds generated in the Mac OS.
If the volume is set to 0 in the Sound control panel, however, you won’t hear
any PC sounds no matter what the setting is in the PC Setup control panel’s
Sound menu.

For sounds generated by the Sound Blaster card and for sounds from the PC,
the Sound control panel must be set with the Internal CD playthrough option
turned on. For instructions, see the “Sound” topic of Macintosh Guide,
available in the Guide (h) menu.

The PC Sound control in the PC Setup control panel does not affect sounds
produced by the Sound Blaster card. Only PC-generated sounds such as the
system beep are affected by this control. To turn off both PC and Sound
Blaster-generated sounds, use the master volume control of the Mixer Control
application from the Audio program group, or turn off the Internal CD
playthrough in the Sound control panel in the Mac OS. (For instructions, see
the “Sound” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.)

The Sound Blaster hardware installed in your DOS-compatible Macintosh is
not able to record sounds.

The DOS-compatible Macintosh does not fully support Sound Blaster 8-bit,
Sound Blaster 2.0, or Sound Blaster Pro drivers. If problems occur, use the
Sound Blaster 16 driver that comes with your computer.
