2-4 Installing Software in Windows 95/98
Configuring Your
Speakers
1. Bring your pointer to the top of the
screen to display Creative Launcher,
click the AudioHQ tab, and then click
the Speaker icon.
The Speaker dialog box appears.
2. On the Configuration tabbed page, make
sure that the value in the Output box
corresponds to the number of speakers
you are using. For example, if you are
using two pairs of speakers, select the “4
Speakers” option; if you leave the
Output value as “2 Speakers”, there will
be no sound from your rear speakers.
If you have a 4-speaker
configuration (2 in the front, 2 in
the rear), and there is no sound
coming from the rear speakers,
open the Speaker applet to change
to the correct speaker output
setting.
3. Using Creative PlayCenter or Windows
Media Player, open a Wave file in your
computer and play it. In the Speaker
dialog box, drag the Wave source icon
from the Panning Source box to each
speaker in the Preview box in turn.
You should hear the selected sound being
played. If you do not, see “Problems With
Sound” on page D-1.
Uninstalling the
Applications
The Windows Uninstall feature allows you to
cleanly remove applications and to reinstall
them in order to correct problems, change
configurations, or make version upgrades.
To uninstall the applications:
1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control
Panel.
2. Double-click the Add/Remove
Programs icon.
3. In the Add/Remove Programs
Properties dialog box, select the target
programs including Sound Blaster
PCI512, and then click the Add/Remove
button.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to
uninstall.
Quit the audio card’s applications
before uninstalling. Applications
that are still running during
uninstallation will not be
uninstalled.
Some applications may share files
with other Windows applications.
If so, the uninstallation program
will prompt you when it tries to
delete these files. Do not delete the
files unless you are sure that you
do not need to use them.
Reinstalling the Audio
Drivers From the
Installation Disc
You may want to reinstall the audio drivers if
you think they have been corrupted.
To do so:
1. Insert the installation disc into your
CD-ROM drive.
2. Run the
UPDDRV95.EXE
program from the
AUDIO\Language\WIN9XDRV folder
of your CD-ROM drive, where Language
is the language of the software that you
want to install.The updating process may
take a while. When the progress indicator
box disappears, the update is complete.
