sound.

* ACTIVATING THE SAMPLE SOUND SCHEME DURING SETUP
* TURNING SOUNDS OFF 
* MEDIAVISION AUDIO DRIVER 
* PROGRAM MANAGER WITH STARTUP APPS
* DISABLING SOUNDBITS

ACTIVATING THE SAMPLE SOUND SCHEME DURING SETUP
If you choose to activate the sample sound scheme when 
you install SoundBits, any current unsaved scheme in the 
Sound Control Panel is saved as "Your Old Scheme."

If you already have a sound scheme called "Your Old 
Scheme," it will be over-written with the current 
unsaved scheme.


TURNING SOUNDS OFF 
To turn off system sounds:
1. Open the SoundBits icon in the Program Manager.
2. Choose the Set Sounds button.
3. Choose the <none> scheme from the Sound Schemes 
   drop-down list box.
4. Choose the OK button.


MEDIAVISION AUDIO DRIVER 
Early MediaVision audio drivers (MVPROAUD.DRV versions 
prior to 5/13, and possibly some versions after that 
date) may cause serious problems (GP Fault) when 
SoundBits is set up.  

To get an updated version of MVPROAUD.DRV, please 
contact MediaVision at 1-800-638-2807.  


PROGRAM MANAGER WITH STARTUP APPS
Applications in your Program Manager StartUp Group which 
utilize custom icons may revert to the default icon when
minimized.  To avoid this problem:

1. Create and activate a sound scheme with "Application 
   Open" set to <none>, using the Sound Control Panel.  

2. Restart Windows.


DISABLING SOUNDBITS
To disable SoundBits:
1. Go to Program Manager, and choose File Run.
2. Type SYSEDIT and choose OK.
3. Choose the SYSTEM.INI window.
4. Scroll to the [boot] section of SYSTEM.INI.
5. Remove all references to "SndEvnts.drv" in the 
   "drivers=" line.
6. Choose File Save.
7. Exit the System Configuration Editor (SYSEDIT).
8. Restart Windows.
