- "Enable interrupts during playback" Setup Option
- ------------------------------------------------

- sounds for optimal sound quality. As a result, you will noticed that

- sounds are being played through the PC Speaker. You can set PC Speaker
- to enable interrupts for serial port activity and mouse movements in the
- PC Speaker setup dialog, at the expense of sound quality.
-
- To set this option:
- - Run Control Panel
- - Open the Drivers icon
- - Select the Sound Driver for PC Speaker from
- the list of Installed Drivers
- - Choose Setup
- - Select or clear the Enable interrupts during
- playback check box.

- system, it will not allow you to use it Speaker Setup.
-
- If you do not have a sound board or other speaker driver installed
- and you still can't access the Speaker Driver Setup, you need to edit your
- system.ini file and remove the line :

-
- from underneath the [Drivers] section. The next time Icon Hear-It loads,
- it will write a new "Wave = " with its own speaker driver.
