2) INSTALLATION PROCESS

During the installation of 82C930 Windows 95 driver,
the installation program will insert a line in AUTOEXEC.BAT to
invoke the SND4DOS program to install the 82c930 DOS driver.
After installed the Windows 95 driver, the Windows 95 asks for
a reboot to make the new hardware (in this case, sound device)
to work properly. After reboot, the SND4DOS will be invoked and
bring up the DOS driver installation program (install.com on the
installation disk ) to install the DOS driver and remove the line
SND4DOS inserted in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Please follow the following procedure to install the software:

1. Follow the installation guideline provided with 930 Windows 95
driver to install the Windows 95 driver.

2. During the first reboot after installed the 930 Windows 95
driver, the program SND4DOS will take over. Just follow the
instrution of SND4DOS to bring OPTi DOS Installer to setup
the Sound Card for your Windows 95 real DOS environment.

!! If you decide not to install at current time, you always
have a chance to re-setup your sound card support for DOS
later. Just type C:\SND4DOS at your Real Mode DOS Prompt.


INSTALL.COM and SNDINIT.EXE will do the followings for you:

a.) Create the directory \OPTI930 (assuming: default) in your
hard disk drive.

b.) Prompt you for CD-ROM and sound card options so that after
you have finished the installation and have rebooted your
machine, you will be ready to use the sound card.

c.) Copy the files with INSTALL.COM to the OPTI930 directory
and Windows directory respectively if you set "WIN31" and
"WINAPP" in DISK1 file to be "YES". If not, only the
DOS-related files will be copied to OPTI930 directory.

d.) Update your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and SYSTEM.INI files
In CONFIG.SYS, the following will be added:

- DEVICE=C:\OPTI930\CDSETUP.SYS /T:S /P:340
(assuming SONY CD-ROM)
DEVICE=C:\OPTI930\SLCD.SYS /D:MSCD000 /B:340

In AUTOEXEC.BAT:

- PATH=C:\OPTI930 (appended)
SET SOUND16=C:\OPTI930
C:\OPTI930\SNDINIT /B
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4


3) GETTING HELP ABOUT SNDINIT.EXE

You can issue the following command to get information
about sndinit.exe:

- SNDINIT /?


4) DOS VOLUME CONTROL TSR PROGRAM

The volume control memory resident program, VOLTSR.EXE, allows
you to change volume using hot keys while you are in a DOS
application. The hot keys are:

Ctrl-Alt-U Raises the volume
Ctrl-Alt-D Lowers the volume
Ctrl-Alt-M Mute

For example, pressing the CTRL, ALT, and U keys will raise
the volume.

You need to load the TSR before you can use it. To load the TSR,
type VOLTSR at the DOS prompt.


5) KARAOKE SUPPORT

[for the DOS users]

The Karaoke.exe program allows user to control the input volume
of the microphone on the fly with "HOT KEYS." Before using
Karaoke, the VOLTSR.EXE program must be successfully loaded
and running.

To enable Karaoke Mode, type: "KARAOKE ON" at the DOS prompt.

To increase MIC input, use: Ctrl-Alt-PageUp
To decrease MIC input, use: Ctrl-Alt-PageDown

To disable Karaoke Mode, type: "KARAOKE OFF" at the DOS prompt.


6) CD-ROM Interface Setup Device Driver

The CD-ROM Setup Device Driver is called CDSETUP.SYS. This
driver sets up the interface of your CD-ROM to the MAD16 sound
card. Each time you change or add a CD-ROM to your sound card.
The line "DEVICE=CDSETUP.SYS..." will be added to the first line
of your CONFIG.SYS file before the CD-ROM device driver line.
CDSETUP.SYS is defined as follows:

DEVICE=[drive:]\[directory]\CDSETUP.SYS /T:[M/S/P/I/X] /P:[addr]
/I:[IRQ] /D:[DMA]

[drive] = drive where you have the driver installed
[directory] = directory where the driver is located
[M/S/P/I/X] = M stands for Mitsumi
S stands for SONY
P stands for PANASONIC
I stands for IDE drive
X stands for disabled

[address] = Port address for CD-ROM (320, 330, 340, 360)

[IRQ] = Interrupt number (5,7,9,10,11)

[DMA] = DMA channel (0, 1, 3)

For example, the following line sets up the interface for a
Mitsumi CD-ROM:

DEVICE=C:\OPTI930\CDSETUP.SYS /T:M /P:340 /I:10

If you did not specify the /I or /D options, CDSETUP will
automatically choose the default setting for the CD-ROM type
your have specified.

- For Mitsumi, the IRQ is 10 and DMA is disabled.
- For SONY, they are both disabled.
- FOR PANASONIC, they are both disabled.

For IDE drive, you need to just specify the /T:I option.
Specifying any other option in addition to this will be ignored.
The I/O Port and Interrupt for IDE is located at 170H and Int 15.


7) Run DOS games in Window 95

In this release, our implemenatation has been changed to provide
Demand-Driven DOS Box Game Support. There is only one DOS box
that can own the audio device at one time.

!! Notes !!
a) Sometimes, the Setup of the PIF file of a DOS game is crucial.
To make a game work effectively under Windows, you probably
have to try a few alternative options through PIF editor.
b) Not all the DOS games can run in Windows' DOS BOX. Some of
them just don't run because of system restrictions. DOOM is
one of those games failed in DOS BOX. Windows 95 provides
much better DOS BOX support and DOOM is OK with Windows 95
DOS BOX.
