6.1 Introduction
The PCM-9575's on-board audio interface provides high-quality stereo
sound and FM music synthesis (ESFM) by using the VIA VT82C686
audio controller from VIA. The audio interface can record, compress, and
play back voice, sound, and music with built-in mixer control.
The PCM-9575 on board audio interface also supports the Plug and Play
(PnP) standard and provides PnP configuration for the audio, FM, and
MPU-104 logical devices. It is compatible with Sound Blaster™; Sound
Blaster Pro™ version 3.01, voice and music functions. The ESFM syn-
thesizer is register compatible with the OPL3 and has extended capabili-
ties.
6.2 DOS utilities
6.2.1 VIA Sound Blaster Pro compatible set up program
Please "Enable" the Sound Blaster setting in the BIOS before playing
Sound Blaster compatible DOS games. To enable the settings in the
BIOS:
INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS -> Onboard Legacy Audio
-> Sound Blaster (Disable -> Enable)
Chipset Feature Setup ->On Chip Sound (Disable-> Enable)
The Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound chip is integrated into the VIA
PCI audio device in order to have Sound Blaster compatible DOS games
running on the system.
If you want to play Sound Blaster compatible DOS games under the real
mode MS-DOS or the "Restart in MS-DOS" from Win9x, then you
should run this setup program to enable OPL3 MIDI music. Otherwise,
the sound effects will be heard, but not the music. If you want to play leg-
acy games in a Windows DOS Box, then you don't need to install this
program.
