SOYO SY-6IEM quick start ESSCFG.EXE and ESSVOL.EXE, Using the Configuration Utility in DOS

SY-6IEMQuick Start Guide

ESSCFG.EXE and ESSVOL.EXE

The installation of the driver will also install three files into the window’s directory: ESSCFG.EXE, ESSVOL.EXE and ESSCFG.INI, ESSCFG.EXE, configures AudioDrive chips to make them game-ready in DOS. ESSCFG.INI stores all the potential settings available to your hardware ESSVOL.EXE sets the default mixer volume levels. The following lines are also added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT by the driver installation program:

C:\WINDOWS\ESSCFG.EXE/A:220/I:7/D:I/B:330/J:E

C:\WINDOWS\ESSVOL.EXE/V:8/L:8/M:0/C:8/S:8/A:8

Depending on the capabilities of your hardware, the above statements may vary. The ESSCFG settings are selected during the driver installation. If you wish to use different settings at boot-up, use a text editor to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and alter the settings as you desire.

Note: Modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT file does not modify the settings for the Windows driver. Run the Audio Applications Setup and uninstall and reinstall the driver or use Control Panel in Windows Main to modify the driver settings. Refer to your Windows User Guide on modifying driver settings. Modifying the driver settings under Windows via the Control Panel does not update AUTOEXEC.BAT with the new driver settings.

In DOS, you may change the configuration of the hardware without rebooting by using ESSCFG.EXE. Type "ESSCFG" at the DOS prompt to run it. You will then be given configuration options similar to the following:
