B-2 SB16 Emulation in MS-DOS/ Windows 95/98
The AUTOEXEC.BAT File
Settings
The installation program adds the following
statements to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file:
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SB
EINIT.COM
The first two statements set up the
environment variables for your audio card.
For an explanation of the variables, see
“Understanding the Environment Variables”
on page B-3.
The third statement runs the
SBEINIT.COM
driver.
SBEINIT.COM
is the SB Live! MS-DOS
driver. It is required for the SB Live! card to
function properly under MS-DOS mode. The
syntax for the statement is as follows:
<SB Live! path>\SBEINIT.COM
SBEINIT.COM
requires that the
HIMEM.SYS
and
EMM386.EXE
files are loaded. If needed, the
installation program adds the necessary
HIMEM.SYS
and
EMM386.EXE
lines to your
CONFIG.SYS
file, creating the file if it is not
present.
On the rare occasion a program does not work
with expanded memory, simply add the
NOEMS
parameter to your memory manager.
For example:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
if
C:\WINDOWS
is your Windows directory.
You may load this driver into high memory in
the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, even though the
default is not. For example:
LOADHIGH=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\
DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
Do not remove the memory manager
altogether. Do not attempt to load
SBEINIT.COM
into high memory when using
the
NOEMS
option if
SBEINIT.COM
fails to run
SBELOAD.EXE
or
SBECFG.EXE
.
In the rare case that an MS-DOS game will not
work with a memory manager, you will not be
able to use the SB Live! card with the game.
The CONFIG.SYS File
Settings
The installation program adds the following
statements to the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
Understanding the
System Resource Settings
This section explains the following software
SB emulation resources—not hardware
resources—of your card:
❑
Input/Output (I/O) Addresses
❑
Interrupt Request (IRQ) Line
❑
Direct Memory Access (DMA) Channel.
Notes:
❑
If your card encounters a conflict with a
peripheral device, you may need to
change its resource settings. For details,
see “Resolving I/O Conflicts” on page
D-3.
When any resource setting is changed,
make sure that the environment
variables (see “Understanding the
Environment Variables” on page B-3)
reflect the changes as well. You can
view your system environment by
typing SET at the DOS prompt.

In the following tables, the preferred
values are in bold.
