- Question: Soundblaster applications do not work correctly
- under WIN-OS/2.
- .
- Answer: Some Soundblaster and Soundblaster PRO
- applications will work OK. However, many
- soundblaster applications have problems. Most of
- these problem applications try to use more than
- 1000 interrupts per second to generate sound. The
- Parrot program provided with soundblaster is one
- of these problem applications. Applications that
- use DMA for sound generation instead of the
- interrupt method will have a better chance of
- running. The 1000 interrupt per second problem is
- being addressed. Currently there are no work
- arounds if you are experiencing problems with a
- Soundblaster board. APAR PJ03959.

- Question: MIDI software and boards do not work correctly.
- .
- Answer: Some MIDI software and applications also
- experience problems because of the 1000 interrupts
- problem. No workaround at this time.
