Page 30
Solution
a. Check that the speakers are connected properly to the
Speakers-Out connector on the sound card. If your speakers
use batteries, make sure that they have the batteries they
need.
b. The volume setting is too low. Run SNDINIT.EXE to adjust
the volume to a higher level.
c. Make sure that the sound board is inserted properly into the
computer.
d. If your games are Sound Blaster compatible, make sure the
card is in Sound Blaster mode. You can find out what mode
the sound card is in by entering SNDINIT /B at the DOS
prompt. Run SNDINIT.EXE if you need to change the mode.
e. There might be a DMA conflict between the sound card and
other interface cards in your computer. Make sure the DMA
channel your sound card is using is not being used by another
device in your system.
f. Some games need EMM to play digitized voice. Please refer
to the documentation that comes with your game.
Problem
The sound is distorted during sound test or during normal us-
age.
Solution
a. Your speakers might be defective or the quality of the
speakers is poor. Make sure you have a good pair of speak-
ers.
b. Volume setting is too high. Use SNDINIT.EXE to adjust the
volume.
c. Interference from another interface card in your computer.
Try to install the sound card into a different slot.
Problem
There is no music or digitized voice or there is only music in
some games (e.g. XWing, Mixed-Up Mother Goose.)
Solution
a. Some applications need extended or expanded memory to
run properly. Use a memory manager to set up the required
memory in your system. Refer to the application's user guide
on what is required.
