- Windows NT Wave drivers for InterWave based cards...
- Version 0.90.3
-
- Since I've deleted Win95 from my HD and use almost always
- WinNT I missed my GUS PnP very much...
-
- So I've decided not to wait until May 15th and create my own driver...
-
- This driver is a more or less functional WAVE IN/OUT + MIXER
- driver which uses the Interwave's CODEC. It doesn't support
- MIDI IN/OUT or SYNTH. (sorry...)
-
- Unpack the file and use ControlPanel/Multimedia/Devices/Add..
-
- It has also certain limitations:
- - Uses only 1 DMA channel (no full duplex)
- - it doesn't initialize the PnP logic on the card...
- (good news for GusMax users, maybe the Max's CODEC
- will also work with this driver... Give a try)
-
- To make the driver work under NT you have to configure the card
- before NT boots. The best way to do this, to boot into
- DOS and use IWINIT with the LEGACY option in IW.INI, then
- warm boot the machine and run NT:(
- (maybe USERS with PnP motherboard do not need to do this???)
-
- The supported CODEC adresses: 32C, 33C, 34C, 35C
- IRQ: 5, 7, 11, 15
- DMA: 1, 3, 5, 7
-
- I would recommend: CODEC ADDR:32C; IRQ:11; BOOTH DMA:7
- This is the driver's default configuration.
-
- Typical problems:
- q The driver refuses to install:
- a You do not have an IW card or the card was not initialized
- before NT booted.
- q Driver is installed and seems to working, but I can't
- get any sound:
- a Probably your DMA channel is wrong in the settings panel.
- q It plays something, but it is only the first part of the
- whole sound.
- a Wrong IRQ setting in the settings panel...
-
- You can change the IRQ and DMA settings on the fly.
- Just change and press OK, no need to reboot.
- (but BE careful with the base address)
-
- Hope it will work for you and you will enjoy using it...
-
- PLEASE, PLEASE give me feedback and EMail me your results.
- I can't test it on other machine than mine.
- Please drop me a mail, if it is working for you.
- If not, send me what is the problem.
-
- PS: Currently there isn't any interwave specific in the
- driver maybe it is working with GUS MAX's CODEC also.
