VI. Installing Software Drivers

After you install your sound card and connect your audio equipment, you must set up the
operating system.  Each operating system handles the setup differently.

________________________ WARNING __________________________

The sound card can output high volume.  To avoid hearing loss or damage,
test the sound volume by holding the headphones away from your ears.

____________________________________________________________

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation

For the sound card to function, you must install the Windows Sound System driver in the
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation operating system.  Perform the following steps:

1.

Access the Control Panel.

2.

Double-click on the Drivers icon.

3.

Click on the Add button.

4.

Select Windows Sound System driver.

5.

Click on OK.  If there is no driver on the system, you are asked to mount the Windows
NT distribution media.  Once the driver is loaded, the Windows Sound System Driver
setup menu displays.

6.

Use the Windows Sound System Driver setup menu to set the DMA channel, IRQ
level, and I/O address. (Set the I/O address to match the setting specified by the sound
card jumper.)

F

Refer to the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation System Guide (available online
or in hardcopy) for information on installing a driver.

DEC OSF/1 AXP

The DEC OSF/1 AXP operating system supports the sound card through Multimedia
Services for DEC OSF/1 AXP, which is normally preloaded at the manufacturing site.  Use
the following command when you are logged in as "root" to verify that the multimedia
services are installed:

# setld -i |grep MME

Look for the following response and verify that the word 

installed

 is present:
