Software & Applications
Introduction
The support software CD-ROM that is included in the mainboard
package contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to
properly run our products. Please check all the README files for
the latest information on installing and using the software.
Using the PCI Sound Application
1.
Before you install the PCI Sound drivers, make sure your
Operating System has been installed, otherwise the PCI Sound
might be detected as “Other device” by the device manager of
your OS.
2.
After the drivers are properly installed, choose the
MULTIMEDIA icon in the CONTROL PANEL when you
need to use the Software Wave-Table drivers as a MIDI output
device. Select the MIDI page and click on “C-media SoftMidi
Synthesis (Win98) / Driver (Win95)”, then click “OK” to
confirm.
3.
A Windows application named Audio Rack is provided with
the PCI Sound drivers, which gives you control over all the
audio functions through a user interface that is as simple to use
as a home stereo system. We recommend that you use the
System Mixer in the Audio Rack software to control your
computer’s audio volume, recording device and the recording
gain.
