(Applies only to 7IWM board)
Installation of the Aureal Sound drivers under
Windows 95/98
SYSTEMREQUIREMENTS:
1. AccesstoMicrosoftWindows 95orMicrosoftWindows 98installationCD-ROM.
2. Good-qualityspeakersorheadphonesandconnectingcables.
3. JoystickandMIDIkeyboardfortestingthegameport.
WavetableMemoryRequirements:
The Vortex hardware wavetable engine uses a native 4MB sample set. The samples are stored on hard
disk and swapped to DRAM as required. The typical DRAM footprint is <2MB. As a result, the Vortex
sample set provides better sound quality than 2MB sample sets offered by other vendors, but does not
requiremorememory.
SOFTWAREINSTALLATION
DRIVERINSTALLATION
Ifyouhaveolder driversinyour system,pleaseuninstallthemfirstas described below.
1. Poweronthe system,placingthe "SOYO-CD"intheCD-ROMdrive.
2. During the load process, Windows 95/98 should detect the Vortex chip and display a message
such as "New Hardware Found". If Windows prompts you for the drivers of the "PCI Multimedia
Audio Device", then select "Driver Disk Provided by Manufacturer". Select the Vortex CD-ROM's
\driv-all\Aurealdirectory.
Note: Some Windows 95 versions (OSR2) do not show this prompt. Instead, they ask whether to search
thediskette andCD-ROM drivesfor theappropriatedrivers.
InstalleddriversmayincludeVortexPCI audio,Vortexwavetable,Vortexmixer,Vortexgameportinterface,
VortexMPU401interface,andvortexSoundBlasteremulation.
Depending on the version of Windows 95/98 and the configuration of the system, you may be prompted
to provide several file locations. Here are the CD-ROMs and directory locations for which you may be
prompted:
