- TITLE :INF: Can't Install Compaq Audio Utilities with Windows NT
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- If you attempt to install the Compaq Business Audio utilities in
- Windows NT, the setup program will state that the sound hardware
- cannot be found. This occurs even though the Business Audio sound
- driver is listed as being installed in Control Panel under Drivers and
- is operating correctly.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- The utilities that ship with the Windows 3.x-based Compaq Business
- Audio system require a Windows 3.x Virtual Device Driver (VxD) to
- communicate with the Business Audio card. Because VxD's are not
- compatible with Windows NT, the setup program for the utilities is not
- able to confirm that the Business Audio card is installed and
- therefore the utilities are not installed.
-
- Installation of the Business Audio driver that ships with Windows NT
- 3.1 will allow use of the card, but the Window 3.1-based utilities
- that ship with the card will not run under Windows NT.
-
- The Compaq Business Audio utilities are manufactured by Compaq, a vendor
- independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
- regarding these products' performance or reliability.
