Chapter 6 Audio Setup

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.

6.2DOS utilities

6.2.1VIA 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.
