DCS S613 Sound System
Software Installation and Setup
DOS and Windows 3.1 Installation :
The INSTALL.EXE is a Windows 3.1/DOS installation program that installs DOS
and Windows3.1 drivers and utilities. Actually, most the installation tasks
are done by the child program - DOSINST.EXE, which is a pure DOS program.
The user can run INSTALL.EXE at the drive contained "DCS S613 INSTALLATION"
diskette. Alternatively, the user can also copy the entire content of "DCS
S613 INSTALLATION" diskette into any drive and path. Then run INSTALL.EXE at
that drive and path.
The installation will copy all the DOS drivers and utilities to the directory
that user specifies during the installation, and all the Windows 3.1 drivers
and .386 will be copied to the Windows system directory if the Windows
directory exist.
Run INSTALL.EXE from Windows 3.1 :
The user can run INSTALL.EXE by selecting File \ Run... and typing "A:INSTALL"
on the command line under Windows 3.1 Program Manager or by typing "A:INSTALL"
at DOS prompt if Windows directory is in the PATH.
After the installation, the sound card initiation program, ALSINIT.EXE, is
started to initiate the DCS S613 Sound Card. It will also show out the default
hardware setting. If these setting conflict with devices already equipped on
your PC, you may need to run the 'Drivers' icon of subgroup 'Panel' of group
'Main'. Then select the items heading with 'Avance',and do the 'Setup' function
to change their hardware setting. Next time you reboot the computer, at the
beginning of executing AUTOEXEC.BAT, you will be informed the new hardware
setting of DCS S613 Sound System.
Run INSTALL.EXE from DOS :
At the DOS prompt and at the drive/path contained Installation Disk, type
INSTALL and Enter.
After the installation, DCSETUP.EXE,the setup program,is started to initiate
and configure the hardware setting. Next time you reboot the computer,at the
beginning of executing AUTOEXEC.BAT, you will be informed the new hardware
setting of DCS S613 Sound System.
Windows 95 installation procedure for DCS S613:
1. After user installs the DCS S613 sound card and power on the system,
Windows 95 will prompt user a "New Hardware Found" dialog box
since the DCS S613 sound card is ISA plug and play. To install the
Windows 95 drivers, select "Driver from disk provided by
hardware manufacturer" and click on OK.
2. Insert the "DCS S613 INSTALLATION" diskette into the appropriate drive
and select that drive from the prompted dialog box and click on OK.
Windows 95 will copy all the needed files and set up all the logic
devices on the card automatically.
Troubleshooting:
This appendix provides some tips and information for some of the
problems you might encounter with your DCS S613 sound card either
during installation or normal use.
Problems in DOS
Problem: Cannot load IDE CD-ROM drive.
Cause: IDE port is not enabled. Check the config.sys file under
C: root directory and you should see "device=c:\dcss613
\cdsetup.sys" before loading your CD-ROM driver. The
cdsetup.sys enables the IDE port.
Solution: Run c:\dcss613\dcsetup.exe again and select the CD-ROM
IDE. When you leave the alsetup program, device=c:\dcss613
\cdsetup.sys will be added to config.sys. Make sure
that this line is before loading the CD-ROM driver.
Problem: No sound in the DOS game
Cause: There could have some conflicts in the SB16 settings.
Solution: Rerun the c:\dcss613\dcsetup.exe and try another Port,
DMA, or IRQ.
Problems in Windows 3.1
Problem: There is no "Sound..." or "MIDI Sequencer..." item
under the menu "Device" in the Media Player. Or
Almixer.exe application doesn't work.
Cause: Because the driver is not loaded.
Solution: Open the SYSTEM.INI file with any file editor. You
should see the following:
[drivers]
Wave=alsndsys.drv
Aux=alsndsys.drv
Mixer=alsndsys.drv
Midi=alopl.drv
Midi1=almpu401.drv
[386Enh]
device=alsndsys.386
device=alopl.386
device=almpu401.386
[boot]
drivers=mmsystem.dll msmixmgr.dll
Problem: Some third party mixer application with Sound Blaster compatible
would not run with DCS S613 Sound System.
Cause: DCS S613 Sound System is Microsoft Sound System compatible.
It doesn't support old Sound Blaster Mixer Interface.
Solution: Use DCSRACK.EXE application that is shipped with this disk.
Problem: CD audio would not play after the ALS drivers are installed.
Cause: The user didn't install the [MCI]CD-AUDIO driver.
Solution: Manually added [MCI]CD-AUDIO driver via Control Panel.
Appendix - Driver Reference:
Windows drivers
DCS S613 has three sets of driver and VxD for Windows 95 and Windows
3.1. They are listed below:
Sound System Driver OPL3 Driver MPU401 Driver
Windows 95 Drivers Alsndsys.drv Alopl.drv Almpu401.drv
Windows 95 VxDs Alsndsys.vxd Alopl.vxd Almpu401.vxd
Windows 3.1 Drivers Alsndsys.drv Alopl.drv Almpu401.drv
Windows 3.1 VxDs Alsndsys.386 Alopl.386 Almpu401.386
The DCS S613 Sound System, OPL3, and MPU401 drivers are binary compatible with
Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 but the VxDs have different binaries for Windows 95
and Windows 3.1. The Windows 3.1 VxDs have their externsion .386 and the
Windows 95 VxDs have their externsion .vxd.
The Windows 95 joystick drivers are the Msjstick.drv and Vjoyd.vxd
that are Microsoft drivers shipped with Windows 95. Besides these
eight Windows 95 drivers and VxDs, a S613.inf file is needed for
Windows 95 installation.
For Windows 3.1, drivers and VxDs have to be specified in the system.ini
file and be loaded when the Windows 3.1 starts. The entries listed in below
should be added to system.ini file by the setup program.
[386Enh] [drivers]
device = alsndsys.386 wave = alsndsys.drv
device = alopl.386 mixer = alsndsys.drv
device = almpu401.386 aux = alsndsys.drv
midi = alopl.drv
midi1 = almpu401.drv
DOS drivers:
The DOS drivers include Cdsetup.sys, Alsinit.exe, and Alsetup.exe.
Cdsetup.sys
The Cdsetup.sys initializes the CD-ROM IDE port before the CD-ROM driver is
loaded if the user has a CD-ROM drive attached to the IDE port on the DCS S613
sound card. The Cdsetup.sys is specified in the Config.sys file as below.
device = C:\dcss613\Cdsetup.sys
device = C:\Sony\Atapi_cd.sys /D:SNIDE01
The Cdsetup.sys is not a TSR program. There is no harm in running this
program if there is no CD-ROM drive attached to the IDE port on the DCS S613
sound card.
Alsinit.exe
The Alsinit.exe initializes the Avance sound chip of DCS S613 Sound Card.
It is specified in the Autoexec.bat file followed by a path name as below.
C:\DCSS613\Alsinit.exe C:\Win31
Alsinit.exe and Dcsetup.exe use the path that follows the Alsinit.exe
in the Autoexec.bat to find the initial data file Als.ini. The Alsdos.ini
has been renamed to Als.ini and the format has been changed to standard
Windows ini file format. The Als.ini file will be copied to the Windows
directory or the same directory as Alsinit.exe for DOS-only installation.
The Windows sound system driver Alsndsys.drv and the Windows sound rack
application Dcsrack.exe also share Als.ini file for initial values.
If the OEM or an end user want to hear or not hear playing a sound this
initialization time. he can change a option value at ALS.INI file
[Option]
PlaySoundAtInitial=No/Yes
Dcsetup.exe
The Dcsetup.exe is a DOS program to help users change the IO, IRQ,
and DMA resource for the DCS S613 sound system and to test the new
settings through playing the Stest8.wav, Stest16.wav,and Fmtest.mid
test files. The new settings are saved in the Als.ini file which
will be used when Alsinit.exe initializes the DCS S613 sound card.
S613.inf for Windows 95:
The S613.inf is a Windows 95 installation information file.
It tells the Windows 95 to where the drivers should be copied.
See the above instructions titled with Windows 95 installation for
DCS S613.
