Installation of the card must be done in the following procedure:
nNotice that installation of the card requires an empty PCI card slot in your computer. If you use a PCI slot that has been occupied
with another card, first remove the driver software for that card, turn off the computer to remove the card, and then reboot the
computer to forcibly recognize that the old card is not there. After completion of this process, turn off the computer and start the
following installation process for the new card.
1Referring to the manual that came with your computer, as explained in “Consulting on Documentation” of
the paper document (Getting Started) in the package, prepare for installation of the card inside your
computer.
2Open the antistatic bag and take out the card while holding it by its edge to avoid touching metal PCI
connectors and electronic components on the card.
3Locate a sticker put on the card that is printed with a card’s serial number. Make a note of the number
for online registration, as explained in “User Registration” above.
4Make sure the location of internal connectors on the card that attach with appropriate connectors from the
internal devices of the computer (audio lines from CD-ROM drive, Modem card, video card). Each
location of the card’s connector is as follows:
TAD
CDAUDIO (CD In)

5Making necessary internal connections between the card and devices, attach the card to the PCI card slot
in the computer. Make sure that the card is firmly seated in the appropriate direction. Do not force on the
card if you feel it does not fit to the slot. Reconfirm first that you are attempting with a correct slot referring
to the manual that came with your computer, and then retry.
6After internal connections, make external connections with your peripheral devices (speakers,
microphone, MIDI keyboard, etc.).

The soundcard will not work until you install appropriate driver software (Yamaha DS-XG driver) and reboot
the computer. Follow the instructions below to install the appropriate DS-XG driver.
nDifferent driver software should be installed to a different version of Windows 95. Say, Windows 95 OEM System Release 2 (aka.,
OSR2) requires driver software other than for pre-OSR2 version of Windows 95.
Installing the DS-XG Driver Software forWindows 95 (4.00.950 or 4.00.950a)
The WAVEFORCE soundcard is a Windows 95 Plug-and-Play device. Once the soundcard is installed and

button.
3Select CD-ROM drive and the folder “drivers\win95\English”. Then click the [OK] button.
nThe folder “drivers\win95\Italian” and “drivers\win95\Spanish” are also available instead of “\English”.
This completes the installation process of the DS-XG Device Manager. Consecutively, install the device
drivers for PCI Audio Codec, Legacy Sound System and Legacy Game Port.
