- OS/2 WARP MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION MANAGER/2 (MMPM/2)
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This document provides information for OS/2 WARP MMPM/2 and its
- new features. If you are using an unsupported sound card, you
- must contact the manufactuer for support. Only the Audio
- boards listed are supported under OS/2 WARP and MMPM/2.
-
- Installation
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- MMPM/2 is fully intergrated into Selective Install. If
- you want to install a feature of MMPM/2, you must do
- Selective Install. Do not run MINSTALL.EXE from an OS/2
- Window.
-
- MMPM/2 installation AUTO DETECTs the supported device in the
- machine. However, it does not automatically configure
- IRQ,,DMS,,I/O settings. You must know which settings to to use
- based on the jumpers set on the devices. YOu can run RMVIEW /XXX
- from and OS/2 Window to see the IRQ, DMA, and I/O being used
- currently in the machine.
-
- ** RMVIEW /XXX where XXX equals:
-
- IRQ, DMA, IO
-

- System Sounds
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- A. Sounds repeating after boot up or during play back of WAV
- file:
-
- 1. Always IRQ conflictions. Refer to the documentation to
- find the IRQ settings for devices installed on your
- machine.
-
- B. No system sound or Hangs after installing MMPM/2
-
- 1. Make sure IRQ's , DMA's and I/O address are not being
- shared by other devices.
-
- NOTE: Make sure address 330 is not being used by any other
- device. 330 is used by the sound card for the MIDI port.
- Usually ADAPTEC cards uses this address.
-
- 2. Check jumpers on Sound card. Make sure they match what you
- selected for the sound card during Selective Install of
- Multimedia. Check CONFIG.SYS.
-
- 3. Wrong card selected during Selective Install of Multimedia.
-
-
- C. SYS 1201 error on sound card driver after installing MMPM/2:
-
- 1. Make sure you have the card installed in the machine.
- 2. Make sure you are using a card supported under MMPM/2.
- 3. If you are using a Sound Blaster ( 8 Bit ), make sure the
- card is at DSP 2.0. The DSP chip is labeled CT 1351. It
- needs to be at that level for the card to work under OS/2
- 2.1 and MMPM/2 1.1
- 4. You may have selected the wrong card during the Selective
- Install of Multimedia.
-
- Run RMVIEW to check resources currently used in OS/2
-
- D. WAV files sounds are truncated.
-
- 1. Check the device statement for the sound in the CONFIG.SYS,
- for example:
-
- DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\SBP2D2.SYS 1 1 5 220 4 /N:SBAud1$
-
- 4 is the buffer value that can be change to 2,4,6,8
-
- Make sure you are using the latest MMPM/2 drivers for your sound
- card. Contact the respective manufacturer for these drivers.
-
-
- MMPM/2 Applets
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- A. Error "Desired action not supported or card may be defective"
- when starting the DIGITAL AUDIO program.
- 1. Usually a hardware conflict. Check IRQ,DMA,I/O address.
- 2. Another session or application may be using the Sound
- card. Device sharing is not allowed.
- B. Playing Software Motion Video (AVI) from CD-ROM. Video is slow
- or jerky.
- 1. If you are using a CD-ROM that is connected to the CD-
- Interface of a supported sound card:
- a. Make sure you are using the latest driver from
- the manufacturer (TMV1SCSI.ADD and SBCD2.ADD )
- b. Make sure you are running at highest resolution
- and at least 1 meg of memory on the video card.
-
- Other Problems
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- A. After installing MMPM/2 customer can no longer get their DOS
- apps to produce sound using a SOUND BLASTER.
-
- 1. Install the DOS drivers for the card.
- 2. Make sure the IRQ,DMA,I/O address match what was set during
- MINSTALL.
- 3. From a DOS FULLSCREEN, go to the directory that was created
- for the DOS drivers.
- 4. Run SBMIDI.
- 5. Go to the PLAYMIDI directory and
- type the exe.:
-
- PLAYMIDI JAZZ.
-
- 6. This plays a midi file and also initialize the sound card.
- 7. Press Esc to stop the midi file from playing and run the
- executable for game.
-
- B. You have MMPM/2 installed and go to a DOS FULLSCREEN
- and play the game. When you exit, the system sounds begin
- to repeat or loop.
-
- 1. IRQ conflict - Make sure IRQ,DMA, I/O address match what is
- in the CONFIG.SYS for the MMPM/2 driver for the sound card.
-
- TIPS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- A. Reel Magic
-
- 1. MMPM/2 provides support MPEG playback using Reel Magic.
- You must select both Reel Magic Audio and Reel Magic Video
- options.
- 2. Sound Blaster cards are the only cards under OS/2 that
- support MPEG Audio.
- 3. Run in 640x480 256 colors if you are using a Reel Magic
- card in their machine. Higher color modes result in
- upredictable results. This is a hardware limitation of the
- REEL MAGIC card.
-
- B. Digital Video
-
- 1. Digital Video supports playback of AutoDesk 3D .FLC / .FLi
- formats. It also provides playback of Audio with the
- file. If you want to play an AutoDesk file and also
- have an Audio file to play with it, you must:
-
- a. Have a .FLC or .FLI on the hard disk, for example
- TEST.FLI
- b. Have a .WAV file with the same name as the AutoDesk File
- in the same directory. For example,
- TEST.WAV
- c. Open Digital Video. Select File open and load TEST.FLI.
- Choose play. The movie starts and plays the .WAV file
- with the same name.
-
- NOTE: AUDIO and VIDEO sync will not be working. If the .FLI file
- is shorter then the .WAV file, the Audio continues after
- the movie stops. This is working as designed. You need
- to edit the .WAV file to match the .FLI length.
-
- C. Thinkpad Audio
-
- 1. There is no MIDI support with the Thinkpad Audio Drivers.
- This is a hardware limitation of the Crystal Semi chip on
- the PLANAR CS4231.
-
- D. WINOS2 Audio Support
-
- 1. OS/2 WARP supplies the WINDOWS drivers for the supported
- SOUND CARDS in MMPM/2. The sound card you select during
- installation of MMPM/2 determines the Windows drivers
- copied to the hard disk.
-
- They are not automatically installed in WINOS2. You must
- run the Control Panel and choose Drivers to install the
- Windows drivers. These drivers help you configure the
- WINOS2 session with sound. If there is a problem with the
- drivers, contact the manufacturer of the sound card for
- support. They are being supplied as is.
-
- If you have a problem with the supplied Windows drivers,
- contact the respective manufactuer for the most up to date
- drivers.
-
-
