INSTALLING AUDIOPCI

SOFTWARE
Legacy Emulation
AudioPCI™ legacy emulation provides applications with the resources
necessary to function in MS-DOS Mode or an MS-DOS Prompt.
AudioPCI™ does not require most of the resources used by non-PCI (also
called ISA or Legacy) devices. To ensure compatibility with applications
designed to function with those non-PCI cards, the AudioPCI™ Legacy
Device is used.
When legacy emulation is enabled in the Settings tab the AudioPCI™
Legacy Device will appear in the Device Manager. See the section en-
titled “Configuring the ENSONIQ AudioPCI™ Legacy Device” on page
21 for more information.
Allow LPT Interrupt Sharing
To conserve system resources LPT interrupt sharing should be enabled.
When this box is checked the AudioPCI™ Legacy Device attempts to use
the same interrupt that the LPT port is using, which is typically 5 or 7.
Joystick Port
To enable the AudioPCI
TM
joystick port in Windows 95 the Gameport Joy-
stick drivers must be installed. The Gameport Joystick driver is provided
with Windows 95. The Gameport Joystick device will appear in the De-
vice Manager after an initial install of the AudioPCI™ or when the “Joy-
stick Port Enabled” box is checked in the AudioPCI™ Settings tab.
Note: If another game card is installed in the system, the “Joystick Port
Enabled” box should not be checked.
Microphone BIAS
If the “Microphone BIAS” box is checked 5-volt BIAS power will be ap-
plied to the Mic Input. This is necessary for electret condenser micro-
phones to function. Uncheck this box when using a dynamic microphone.
MS-DOS Mode and MS-DOS Prompt do not have microphone support.
Add Mixer to Taskbar
When this box is checked the ENSONIQ Mixer will be added to the sys-
tem tray of the taskbar. This checkbox doesn’t affect the Microsoft volume
control, which is controlled by the Multimedia applet of the Control Panel.
