IBM Thinkpad Mwave DSP Patch for WAV files on Windows 95
========================================================
This patch is intended to fix the following problem:
Mwave may malfunction when playing WAV files recorded with
sampling rates of exactly 11,000 Hz, 22,000 Hz, and 44,000 Hz.
Symptoms include:
- Mwave stops functioning after attempting to play a WAV
file recorded at a sampling rate of exactly 11,000 Hz.
Windows 95 is still operational, but no Mwave function is
available. Windows 95 must be restarted to restore Mwave
function.
- Mwave plays slowly WAV files recorded at a sampling rate
of exactly 22,000 Hz.
Wave files recorded at the more common sampling rates of
11,025 Hz, 22,050 Hz, and 44,100 Hz are not affected.
NOTE: To check the sampling rate of a WAV file in Windows 95,
do the following:
- View the file using Windows Explorer.
- Right Click on the WAV file name.
- Click on the Details tab. The Audio Format line
indicates the sampling rate used to create the file.
This patch is intended for limited distribution to IBM customers. It has
received only limited testing before release by IBM, therefore it is
suggested that any critical data on your hard drive be backed up before
applying it. This patch will become obsolete with the next release of
Mwave code.
Patch Scope
===========
This patch is intended for Mwave version 2.1 *ONLY* running under
Windows 95. To confirm your Mwave version:
- From Windows 95, click on Start, then Run
- Type C:\MWW\MANAGER\MWLEVELS.EXE and press Enter
This will display information from the MWAVE.INI file.
The Mwave version information is on the line starting with
"OEM=". Mwave 2.1 reads:
"OEM=Mwave ThinkPad Release 2.1"
NOTE: If the patch is already installed, the following line will
also be displayed:
"Patch1=Wave Fix for 11000 Hz Wave Play"

Patch Prerequisites
===================
Mwave version 2.1 must be loaded on your computer running under
Windows 95.
Patch Instructions
==================
1. Remove this diskette from the diskette drive.
2. Shutdown Windows 95 and restart the computer in MS-DOS mode.
(Click on Start, then Shutdown, then Restart the computer in MS-DOS
Mode).
3. At the C:\ prompt, type "a:\install" .
4. Install will try to locate all of Mwave. If everthing is not
found (probably because you used directory names other than
the Mwave default ones, or because Mwave exists on another
drive) it does not matter. The ONLY directory that has to be
located is the Mwave Windows Directory (MWW). If the
directory found is incorrect, then reply "no" when install
asks if everthing is correct. Install will then prompt you
to type in the correct pathname.
5. Type "exit" to restart Windows 95
