PLEASE READ ------------------------------------------------- By using the following Windows 3.1 Driver Library (the "Software"), you are hereby agreeing to the included license agreement. Please review the file LICENSE.TXT. The PC Speaker driver may not produce high quality sound on all computer systems. The performance of the PC Speaker driver is largely dependent upon the hardware itself. Microsoft does not guarantee that the speaker driver will work with all computer systems. "Enable interrupts during playback" Setup Option ------------------------------------------------ By default, the PC Speaker driver disables all interrupts while playing sounds for optimal sound quality. As a result, you will noticed that the mouse cursor, keyboard or other processes will not respond while sounds are being played through the PC Speaker. You can set PC Speaker to enable interrupts for serial port activity and mouse movements in the PC Speaker setup dialog, at the expense of sound quality. To set this option: - Run Control Panel - Open the Drivers icon - Select the Sound Driver for PC Speaker from the list of Installed Drivers - Choose Setup - Select or clear the Enable interrupts during playback check box. Note: It may be necessary to select option when running some communication applications. Using the PC Speaker driver with AST systems -------------------------------------------- If you experience problems using the PC Speaker driver on an AST system, you should contact AST Technical Support at 1-800-727-1278. Using Media Player with the PC Speaker driver --------------------------------------------- The version of Media Player provided with Windows 3.1 does not play *.WAV files with the PC Speaker driver. To play *.WAV files, you should use Sound Recorder. Windows 3.1 will install the Sound Recorder icon in your Accessories Program Manager group.
