dSound Board
 
Select the type of sound board you have. If yours is not on
the list, it may be compatible with one that is. Check your
sound board owner's manual for information about compatibility.
Most sound boards are compatible with the Sound Blaster. Select
"None" if you don't have a sound card but would like to use the
Compact Disc device for controlling your CD-ROM drive.
 
NOTE: If you have a Sound Blaster, you'll also need to specify
your board's base I/O address, interrupt #, and DMA channel. The
factory defaults for these are respectively: 220H, 7, 1.
 
eVideo Driver
 
Your computer must be equipped with a video board that is
capable of displaying graphics at 1024 x 768 resolution with
256 colors. These types of SuperVGA boards are not all alike
and differ in the way they must be controlled. The video drivers
are listed by chip manufacturer and not by brand name. If your
first selection of a video driver does not work, try another.
Select <Auto-detect> to have the program attempt to identify
your VGA hardware and recommend a video driver.
 
fWiring
 
The wiring file tells the program how things are wired. Among
other things, it indicates which devices are being used and the
order in which to display them. (You can create new wiring files
and edit existing ones by using the VAWIRING program.) This
option allows you to select which wiring file will be used.
 
gImport Mixer
 
The mixer settings include volume/bass/treble/etc. If you would
like Visual Audio to import the current level of these settings
when it begins, set this option to "Yes".
 
hExport Mixer
 
The mixer settings include volume/bass/treble/etc. If you would
like Visual Audio to export the current level of these settings
when it ends, set this option to "Yes". If set to "No", your
mixer will be restored to the current settings before Visual
Audio was executed.
 
iSettings Include Mixer
 
This option refers to the "device settings" files. The mixer
device allows you to Get/Save the current device settings From/To
the files A.SET, B.SET, C.SET to H.SET. When getting these
settings, you may or may not want the mixer settings to be
included. This option allows you to specify whether the mixer
settings should be loaded or not. See manual for more information
about the "device settings" files.
 
jMouse
 
This option allows you to select the speed in which the cursor
responds to mouse movement. You may select either slow, medium,
or fast. If you do not have a mouse and wish to use the keyboard
for input, select "none".
 
kCD-ROM Drive
 
This option allows you to specify whether a CD-ROM drive is
installed. To use your CD-ROM drive with Visual Audio, the device
driver MSCDEX.SYS must be installed. Consult your CD-ROM manual
for more information.
 
lSound Blaster Setup
 
If you have a Sound Blaster, you need to specify your board's
base I/O address, interrupt #, and DMA channel. The factory
defaults for these are respectively: 220H, 7, 1. If you changed
any of these during installation, you'll need to do the same
here. Consult your Sound Blaster manual for more information.
 
mBase I/O Address
 
This option allows you to specify which base I/O address your
Sound Blaster is configured to operate on. The factory default
is 220H.
 
nInterrupt #
 
This option allows you to specify which interrupt number your
Sound Blaster is configured to operate on. The factory default
is 7.
 
oDMA Channel
 
This option allows you to specify which DMA channel your
Sound Blaster is configured to operate on. The factory default
is 1.
