Changes to
CONFIG.SYS
The installation program will also make changes to your
COFIG.SYS
file. You can choose to have
INSTALL make these changes for you immediately, or store the changes in a separate file called
CONFIG.MAD
so you can make the changes later.
Your
CONFIG.SYS
file shall have the following changes:
Syntax:
DEVICE=<drive:\path>\CDSETUP.SYS /T:n /P:n
Example: DEVICE=C:\SOUND16\CDSETUP.SYS /T:S /P:340
Syntax:
DEVICE=<drive:\path>\SLCD.SYS /D:MSCD000 /B:340
Example: DEVICE=C:\SOUND16\SLCD.SYS /D:MSCD000 /B:340

Testing the HOT-233/HOT-239 Sound
Use the
TEST
option to test the setting that you specified. If you do not hear any sound, check the
volume setting, then try changing the settings until you can hear the sound from your speakers. If
system locks up during sound test, please reboot, run the
SNDINIT.EXE program and check for
setting conflict.

SNDINIT.EXE

figuration. When re-configuring the HOT-233/HOT-239, you can use the following parameter lines:

figuration. You will see the main configuration screen you had when you
first setup the HOT-233/HOT-239 with the installation program.
VOLTSR.EXE -- Volume Control Utility
The installation disk comes with an TSR volume control utility,
VOLTSR.EXE
. You can use this utility
to control the volume in teh DOS enviornment. Load the program by typing
VOLTSR
at DOS prompt.
Then use the following hot keys to change the volume:
CTRL-ALT-U
Raise the volume
CTRL-ALT-D
Lower the volume
CTRL-ALT-M
Mute the volume
To remove the program from the memory, type
VOLTSR/U
at the DOS prompt.
Some games do not allow this TSR to take effect. In this case, you will not be able to access these hot
keys and use the keyboard to control the volume. You can exit the game, and run
SNDINIT.EXE
to
adjust the volume or use an external amplifier with its own volume control adjustments.
