SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
The first two statements set up the environment variables for your audio card. For
an explanation of the variables, see “Environment Variables” on page B-5.
The third statement runs SBEINIT.COM, which is the Sound Blaster Audigy MS-DOS
