AUREAL SOUND DRIVER INSTALLATION
Installation of the Aureal Sound drivers under
Windows 95/98
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
1. Access to Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98 installationCD-ROM.
2. Good-quality speakers or headphones and connecting cables.
3. Joystick and MIDI keyboard for testing the gameport.
Wavetable Memory Requirements:
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 require more memory.
5-1 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
DRIVER INSTALLATION
If you have older drivers in your system, please uninstall them first as described below.
1. Power on the system, placing the "SOYO-CD" in the CD-ROM drive.
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 SOYO CD-ROM's \driv-all\Aureal\Win9x directory.
Note: Some Windows 95 versions (OSR2) do not show this prompt. Instead, they ask
whether to search the diskette and CD-ROM drives for the appropriate drivers.
