================================================================


Before starting this setup, obtain the latest Windows drivers
from the respective manufacturer.  Windows and DOS drivers are
not compatible with OS/2.

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.
