Troubleshooting
This
appendix provides
some
tips and strategies for some
of
the problems
you might encounter with the audio card either during installation
or
normal use.
Problems
in
DOS
Problem Sound or/and Blaster environment string could not be found.
Cause
The command to set
up
the Sound or/and Blaster environment
may not
be
included in the AUTOEXEC.HAT file.
The Sound environment specifies the directory location
of
the
audio card while Blaster environment specifies the
1/0
address,
interrupt. and DMA channel settings
of
the Audio interface.
Both
environment
strings need to be set up in the DOS
environment. When you install the audio card's software, the
commands
lo
set
up
the environment are automatically addcdto
the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file so that both environment strings
are set up whenever your system is started
or
restarted.
Whenever
changes to the environment strings are made, it is
advisable that the changes are reflected in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. The sound environment is
SOUND=C:\SBPRO
(if default is used) while the Blaster
environment is BLASTER=A220
15
DJ T4.
Solution
To
add the
command
to
set up the Sound environment in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, use a text editor such as MS-DOS
Editor.
To
add the command
to
set
up the Blaster environment
in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, run DIAGNOSE at the \SB PRO
directory
(if
default
is
used). Remember to reboot the system
for the new settings
to
take effect. Refer to Appendix C,
"Setting Environment Variables" for a description
of
the
environment strings.
