║ Adding WINOS2 Audio Support in WARP 4 ║
║ ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════ Version 1.0 ═╝
╔══════════╗
║ OVERVIEW ║
╚══════════╝
This package includes WINSTALL.CMD, the REXX program
which installs the WIN-OS2 audio support, and control
files (file extension .ctl) for the following currently
OS/2-supported audio adapters:
- The IBM M-Audio Adapter
- The Sound Blaster Non-Pro ISA or MCV Adapter
- The Sound Blaster Pro OPL2 Adapter
- The Sound Blaster Pro MCV or OPL3 Adapter
- The Sound Blaster 16 / PnP
- The Pro Audio Spectrum 16
- The Media Vision Jazz 16 Adapter
- The Aztech Sound Galaxy NOVA 16 EXTRA
- The Aztech Sound Galaxy Wave 32 +
- The ESS-688 Audio Adapter
- The ESS-1688 Audio Adapter
- The ESS-1788 Audio Adapter
- The ESS-1868 Audio Adapter
- The ESS-1888 Audio Adapter
- The Sound Blaster AWE 32 Adapter / PnP
- The Crystal Semi CS4231 Adapter
- The Crystal Semi CS4232/4236 PnP Adapter
- The IBM Thinkpad Audio - Crystal Semi 4231
The advantage of WINSTALL.CMD is to update the WIN-OS2 system INI
file(s) automatically. It avoids having to follow the WARP on-line
documents and having to update the INI files manually.
In addition, WINSTALL.CMD allows you to write you own control file
(.ctl file) to install addition device other than the ones listed
above. See any .ctl file for details.
╔══════════╗
║ USAGE ║
╚══════════╝
. Copy WINSTALL.CMD to the \OS2 directory, so it can be executed
from any directory.
. Copy the corresponding control file to the directory which contains
the Windows driver for your device.
. Run the REXX program by typing WINSTALL at an OS/2 prompt
Example:
If you want to install the Sound Blaster 16 Windows driver,
copy file SB16D2.CTL to the \OS2\DRIVERS\SB16D2 directory;
copy file WINSTALL.CMD to the \OS2 directory, then at an OS/2
prompt, just type WINSTALL.
╔════════════════╗
║ SPECIAL CASES ║
╚════════════════╝
Since the control file's name needs to match the directory name for
the corresponding WIN-OS2 audio driver, and many devices are using
the SAME directory name, you need to rename the control file when
you copy it to that directory.
Example: If you have an IBM Thinkpad, you will install the IBM
Thinkpad Audio. After installation, you will have
\OS\DRIVERS\CSBSAUD directory. However, the control file
is CSTP750.CTL in this package. So when copying it, you
need to do the following, assuming you have the package on
a floppy:
[D:\]COPY A:\CSTP750.CTL D:\OS2\DRIVERS\CSBSAUD\CSBSAUD.CTL
Then follow the rest steps in section USAGE.
The same procedure applies if you have a Crystal Semi 4231 or 4232/36
audio device in your system. The corresponding control files are
CSBSAU31.CTL and CSBSAU32.CTL.
╔══════════════╗
║ LIMITATION ║
╚══════════════╝
. The REXX program is design to simplify adding audio support into
WINOS2. The old way is to follow the on-line document. So it
works the best if you have only one audio device.
However, it DOES support multiple devices. If you have more than
one audio devices, WINSTALL.CMD installs the DEFAULT audio device
for you. If you want to install all devices, you need to explicitly
set all device (one by one) as default using Multimedia Setup, then
run WINSTALL for each device.
Example: if you have JAZZ 16 and SB AWE 32 PnP devices, open the
Multimedia Setup to set JAZZ 16 as default device, then
do the steps in section USAGE; then, open the Multimedia
Setup to set SB AWE 32 PnP as your default device, follow
the steps in section USAGE again.

║ MORE TO COME ║
╚═══════════════╝
. New Windows audio drivers can be added to the current bucket. In
addition to the audio devices supported in WARP, you may add your
own audio device to OS/2 and WIN-OS2. A procedure of how to write
your own .ctl is being written. With this procedure, you can easily
and accurately add audio support for the new device to WINOS2
. An option will be added to let you select which device to install if
you have more than one device. You will be able to run WINSTALL like
this:
WINSTALL My_Device
