Once any of the installation procedures start, software is
automatically installed in sequence. You will need to follow the
onscreen instructions, confirm commands and allow the computer
to restart as few times as is needed to complete installing whatever
software you selected to install. When the process is finished, all
the support software will be installed and working.
There are some utilities that you have to manually install if you
need, check to the above section.
Using the PCI Sound Pro Application
1. Before you install the Sound drivers, make sure your Operating
System has been installed, otherwise the PCI Sound Pro 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 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.
4. If the devices that you are using require the MIDI port as the
control interface, you need to select the MULTIMEDIA icon
in the CONTROL PANEL. Select the MIDI page and click on
“CM8738 MPU-401” (Win98) or “CM8738/C3DX PCI Audio
External MIDI Port” (Win95), and then click “OK” to confirm.
5. For more information, refer to the PCI Sound Pro manual in
the CD which ships with this mainboard.
