BETA WARNING
SoundWorks 2.0 is NOT production quality software:  you may experience problems
while installing and using the software.  This release is intended to assist
the author in gathering information on the program's performance on various
types of hardware.  Use this software at your own risk; be sure to read the
LICENSE and NO WARRANTY sections at the end of this document.

If SoundWorks does or does not work for you, or you have a comment, please
send e-mail to me, Mike, at:
  schumm@rpi.edu
Be sure to include the version of OS/2 and Windows and the type of sound card
you are using.  Also include the Beta Number of SoundWorks.

INTRODUCTION
Please note that SoundWorks is NOT "fully virtualized" sound support.  Rather,
it allows Windows sessions to "time-share" your sound card.  Your sound card is
still limited to being controlled by one DOS, OS/2, or Windows session at a
time; but SoundWorks lets Windows release the sound card when it is not in use.
SoundWorks also keeps Windows sessions from accessing the sound card while it
is in use by another Windows session (see the AUDIOVDD.SYS section, below).

INSTALLATION
1.  If Windows does not use the same sound card as OS/2 and DOS (for example,
    if you have a PAS-16 and OS/2 uses the PAS-16 side of your sound card and
    Windows uses the SB side, or if you have two sound card installed), then the
    following two instructions do not apply to you.

    1a. Read the following section on AUDIOVDD.SYS before you decide to continue
        with the SoundWorks installation.

    1b. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to change the line:
          DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\AUDIOVDD.SYS x
        to read:
          REM DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\AUDIOVDD.SYS x
        where x is something that looks like the name of your sound card.

2.  Create a directory called SNDWORKS below your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, such
    as:
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SNDWORKS

3.  Copy the following files to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:
      SNDWORKS.DLL
      SNDWORKS.HLP
      SNDWRKCP.CPL
      VEJOMIDO.DLL

4.  If you do not already have the following files, copy them to your 
    WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as well:
      BWCC.DLL
      CTL3DV2.DLL

5.  Add "SNDWORKS.DLL" to the DRIVERS line in the [BOOT] section of SYSTEM.INI,
    located in your WINDOWS directory.  Note that SNDWORKS.DLL must come first.
      [boot]
      drivers=sndworks.dll mmsystem.dll

6.  Start Windows and run Control Panel (usually found in the MAIN program
    group). Double-click the SoundWorks icon and configure the program to your
    system (use the Help button for information on how to configure SoundWorks).
    Be sure to adjust the settings on all three notebook pages!

7.  Exit all Windows sessions.

8.  Reboot your computer.

AUDIOVDD.SYS
By removing the AUDIOVDD.SYS virtual device driver, you are compromising OS/2's
ability to control access to the sound card.  In effect, you are lessening
OS/2's bullet-proofing.

OS/2's system sounds will continue to be playable while Windows runs, and all of
DOS, OS/2, and Windows can attempt to access the sound card at the same time.
(Remember, SoundWorks only controls Windows' access to the sound card.)  Usually
this only means lost or "fuzzy" sounds for DOS or Windows (OS/2 tends to correct
itself); but more serious results (GPFs, TRAPs, or hangs) could occur on your
system.

The best advice is to install SoundWorks, play around with it, see what it is
and is not capable of, and then decide whether or not to keep SoundWorks on your
system.
