================================================================
SOUNDBLASTER SETUP IN WIN-OS/2
================================================================
Before starting this setup, obtain the latest Windows drivers
from the respective manufacturer. Windows and DOS drivers are
not compatible with OS/2.
Creative Labs -- BBS (405) 742-6660
DOS installation.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Blaster Environment
1. Open a DOS FULL SCREEN and run the installation that came with
the Sound Blaster card.
The directory that gets created depends on the
Sound Blaster card you have. This example uses the Sound Blaster
Pro Microchannel. The installation routines say the AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files will be updated. This may or may not
happen. The procedures have you update them manually if needed.
3. You should have a SBPRO directory on the hard disk.
Open an OS/2 window and type E AUTOEXEC.BAT.
4. Add these lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT in this order, if
they are not there:
set blaster=Axxx Dx Ix Tx
Axxx - Base I/O address for sound card
Dx - DMA channel for sound card
Ix - IRQ value for sound card
Tx - rev. level of sound card ** check manual **
If MMPM/2 is installed, make sure you are using the
the latest drivers and also using the same I/O -
IRQ - DMA value specified in the MMPM/2 device
driver statement.
X:\ is the drive where SBPRO files are located.
SET SOUND=X:\SBPRO
X:\SBPRO\SBP-SET /M:12 /VOC:12 /CD:12 /FM:12
/LINE:12
5. You should now have sound support in your DOS
session. Refer to the Sound Blaster documentation
for the correct line statements in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
B. WINOS/2 sound support.
1. Make sure you get the latest WINDOWS drivers for your
sound card available from Creative Labs BBS.
2. Run the installation for the latest drivers. It may ask
for the path of you windows directory. If you have
OS/2 2.1 , for example, the path is:
C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2.
3. The installation updates the SYSTEM.INI located in the
OS2\MDOS\WINOS2 directory.
The Sound Blaster Pro Microchannel and the Sound
Blaster 16 are used as examples.
4. Open an OS2 window and go to the OS2\MDOS\WINOS2
directory and type E SYSTEM.INI.
5. Go to the section marked [drivers].
a. For a Sound Blaster Pro Microchannel you should
have these statements:
Aux=sbpaux.drv
Wave=spmcvsnd.drv
MIDI=sbp2fm.drv
MIDI1=spmcvsnd.drv
b. For a Sound Blaster 16 you should have these
statements.
Aux=sb16aux.drv
Wave=sb16snd.drv
MIDI=sb16fm.drv
NOTE: Make sure these drivers are located in the
OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory.
6. Go to the section marked [sndblst.drv]
a. For a Sound Blaster Pro Microchannel you should
have these statements:
Port=xxx
Int=x
DmaChannel=x
Port=xxx - xxx is the base I/O address
Int=x - x is the IRQ
DmaChannell=x - x is the DMA channel
If MMPM/2 is installed make sure you are using
the latest MMPM/2 drivers for the sound card and
also the same IRQ . I/O . DMA values .
b. For a Sound Blaster 16 you should have these
statements:
Port=xxx
MidiPort=330
Int=x
DmaChannel=x
HDmaChannel=x
Port=xxx - xxx is the base I/O address
MidiPort=330 - This is standard and can be changed
to 300
Int=x - x is the IRQ value
DmaChannel=x - x is the 8 bit DMA channel
HDmaChannel=x - x is the 16 bit DMA channel
Make sure SNDBLSTR.DRF is located in the
OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory.
7. You should now have Sound support in WINOS/2.
