Symptom 8
Certain applications do not play sound.
Check
1. Verify that the SoundWave 32Pro and the soft-
ware application are configured for the same
sound emulation modes (for example,
SoundBlaster for digitized sound and General
MIDI for music).
2. Many software applications require a large
amount of base memory, such as 640KB and are
unable to operate if any drivers or TSR programs
are installed. Try removing all unnecessary
drivers and TSRs or load them in high memory
(refer to your DOS user’s manual for more infor-
mation).
3. Verify that the software application is config-
ured for the same I/O, IRQ, and DMA settings as
the SoundWave 32Pro.
Symptom 9
Certain applications do not play digitized sound,
such as speech or sound effects.
Check
1. Check for a conflict with the SoundBlaster inter-
face configuration settings. Digitized sounds are
played back through this interface.
2. Verify that the SET BLASTER statement is in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Some applications look
specifically for this statement to set the
SoundBlaster environment. Verify that the set-
tings of the statement match the configuration
for the SoundWave 32Pro and the software ap-
plication.
