- Installing the Microsoft Audio Compression Manager 2.00
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- These instructions shall help you in installing the Microsoft Audio
- Compression Manager 2.00 (Sound Mapper). I found that the README.1ST
- file didn't give a complete installation instruction, so I wrote this
- to guide you through the installation and setup process. It's strictly
- based on my own findings, and I don't have any relationship to
- Microsoft except being a customer. I can't be held responsible for any
- damage or data loss caused by this driver. Follow these instructions at
- your own risk. Don't send me any questions about this driver, direct them
- to Rick Segal at Microsoft. Look at the README.1ST for his E-mail
- addresses. Also, please consult the supplied .hlp-files very carefully.
-
-
- To install the Sound Mapper, do the following:
-
- 1) Unpack this archive in an empty directory or a blank diskette.
- 2) Start the Control Panel and click on the driver's icon.
- 3) If you have a previous version of the Audio Compression Manager
- driver installed, remove it and restart Windows first.
- Then repeat step 2).
- 3) Select Unlisted or updated driver...
- 4) Use the Browse button to get to the drive/directory where you
- unpacked this archive.
- 5) Select one of the shown drivers after another and press OK.
- Note: Don't restart Windows until you installed all the drivers.
- The MS ACM Filter won't install, this is correct.
- 6) After you installed all drivers you can restart Windows.
- 7) Copy all the .hlp files into your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- 8) Start Windows and go into the control panel. You will see a
- new icon for the Sound Mapper.
- 9) Doubleclick it and select your preferred Input and Output devices.
- (If you have a PAS-16 or PAStudio16 and set them up to play two
- wave files, you'll usually see two devices here:
- Media Vision Pro Audio/CDPC Wave/MIDI/Aux and
- Snd Blaster Compatible Wave Audio
- I found it to work best with the Media Vision Pro Audio/CDPC driver
- as both the Input and Output device.)
-
- That's it, the Sound Mapper driver should now be successfully installed.
- It will bring you a lot of benefits: If for example the output
- capabilities of your sound card are limited to 22.050 KHz, you're now,
- with the Sound Mapper driver, able to play back a 44.1 KHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
- wave file on such a card. That's especially great when you're playing back
- two wave files at the same time. On a PAS-16, you're now able to play
- back two 44.1 KHz, 16 Bit, Stereo wave files simultaneously by just
- doubleclicking them in the File Manager or an NDW drive window.
