TROUBLESHOOTING IN WINDOWS 95
If you wish to use an electret condenser microphone make sure the 5-volt
BIAS power is being applied by checking the “Microphone BIAS” box
under the Settings tab of the ENSONIQ AudioPCI™ Properties window.
Note: The “Mic BIAS” box is on the Microphone panel of the ENSONIQ
Mixer in Windows NT 4.0.
CD Audio
•
First, be sure that your CD volume is turned up to the maximum in
the ENSONIQ Mixer.
•
If you still aren’t getting music, you will need to verify that the
internal patch cable is connected between your CD ROM drive and
the HOT-255 card’s CD Input. This is typically a small connector
with four wires coming out of it. If it is connected but not working,
try unplugging it and reconnecting it to the TV Tuner connector.
Remember to use the TV Tuner slider control on the ENSONIQ
Mixer to adjust the volume. If this does not work, there is a chance
that the patch cable is broken or defective.
•
Another tip is to obtain a 1/8-inch stereo patch cord and connect one
end to the headphone out on the front of the CD-ROM drive, and the
other end to the Aux Input on the back of the HOT-255. Make sure
the headphone volume dial on the CD-ROM drive is turned all the
way up. Adjust the Aux and Master sliders on the ENSONIQ Mixer
to maximum. Uncheck the “Mute” boxes on the Master and Aux
panels of the ENSONIQ Mixer. Try playing a CD. You should hear
the music playing. If your internal patch cable is missing or defec-
tive, contact your CD-ROM manufacturer for information on how
to obtain another cable.
