TURTLE BEACH MAUI
Installation Utility for Windows95 (Version 4.00.34)
07 30 96
SOFTWARE PACKAGE CONTENTS
The Windows95 Maui software package contains (1) 3.5" 1.44M diskette,
for the installation of DOS mode and Windows95 drivers.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
It is recommended that you print this out and have a hard copy in
front of you while installing the drivers.
SECTION I
INSTALLING THE DRIVERS
1. Make sure you have the driver disk handy. If you downloaded this
driver package, then you need to copy all the files onto a floppy
disk. The driver should not be installed from a hard disk
directory.
2. If Windows95 is running, select the START button and select SHUT
DOWN, then 'Shut Down the Computer'. When you are clear to do so,
power off the computer, and plug the Maui card into a slot.
Even if the Maui is already installed, powering down is still a
good idea. Leave the computer off for about a minute. Turning
the computer off and then right back on can damage the peripherals
inside.
3. Power on the computer. While it is booting up, hit the F8 key as
soon as you see the message "Starting Windows95...". From the menu,
select 'Safe Mode'. It will take a few minutes, but once you've
entered Safe Mode, go to the Device Manager and double-click on
'Sound, Video, and Game Controllers'. Remove the Maui driver (if
installed).
Even though you may have uninstalled them before, Windows95 has
the nasty habit of letting some sound card drivers hang around.
It is a good idea to remove any that you are not currently using.
When you are finished, close the Device Manager. Click on the
START button, then SHUT DOWN. Select 'Restart the computer' and
let it reboot.
4. Once you enter Windows95 again, double click on the My Computer
icon and then on the Control Panel icon. Then double click on
the Add New Hardware icon.
5. When Windows95 asks you to search for new hardware, select 'no'
and proceed to the next window.
6. Windows 95 will display a list of device categories that you can
install from. Select 'Sound, Video, and Game Controllers', and
then 'Next' to proceed.
7. Windows 95 will display another list of manufacturers and their
products. Place Disk 1 (of this driver package) in your floppy
drive, and click on the 'Have Disk...' button. It may bring up
a dialog box asking which drive the disk is in. Select the drive
the disk is in.
8. Once the disk is read, Windows95 will bring up a list of devices
you can install. This list will only have one option, the Turtle
Beach Maui WaveFront Synthesizer.
9. Click on the Turtle Beach Maui and then click on 'Next' to install
the drivers. Windows95 will allow you to view the settings (via the
'Details' button) that it has determined will work for your system.
Don't worry; you can change those later if you want to. Windows95
will then copy some files from the floppy disk then prompt you to
finish. Click on 'Finish' and you will be asked to restart your
system. Select 'yes' and restart.
The WaveFront port address is based on the hardware jumper settings
on the Maui sound card. This port address must match what you
have the Maui set to in order to work. Windows95 cannot determine
the jumper settings and will default to port 330 (if it does not
conflict with another device). You can change this after restarting
the computer to whatever your jumpers are set at.
SECTION II
CHANGES TO YOUR SYSTEM
SYSTEM.INI
All changes to Windows will be made in the Registry, and nothing
will appear in the SYSTEM.INI file. All previous entries should
be deleted.
SECTION III
KNOWN PROBLEMS AND WORKAROUNDS
1) This installation copies a new WFPATCH.INI into your Windows95
directory. This file lists the locations of the WaveFront banks
(which you may or may not have all installed). You may need to use
Notepad (or another text editor) to edit the file to change the
directory to where the file(s) actually is/are.
2) If you play a DOS game from within Windows95, and it uses the Maui
as a General MIDI card, there is a good chance that Windows95 will
"lose" the WaveFront synthesizer on return to Windows95. You must
restart Windows95 to get it back.
3) There is a problem with the Maui WaveFront driver for Windows95
and the native Tahiti drivers for Windows95. There seems to be a
conflict between the two. We recommend not using these drivers
if you have a Tahiti and the native drivers for it (TAHITI95.ZIP)
installed on your system.
SECTION IV
CHANGES AND UPDATES
1) The download code configuration file (OSWF.MOT or OSMAUI.MOT) has
been renamed to WFMAUI.MOT to coincide with the new drivers. In
DOS mode, if you run the SETUPSND program, please point it to the
new file and not the old one.
2) The Control Panel now has a Quick Start option to make it load
faster. It does so by not reinitializing the synth, which will
mean that you do not have access to SampleStore features. You
must disable the Quick Start if you will be uploading samples to
the card.
To do so, launch the Control Panel and select "Synth" from the menu
and uncheck the 'Quick Start' option. Close and restart the Control
Panel.
There is no futher information at this time.
