ENSONIQ Soundscape software for Windows 95
Driver version 4.00.38b
Application version 2.00.24
PLEASE NOTE: These drivers are for the Soundscape card SNDCRD006AAWW,
SNDCRD006ABWW, and SNDCRD006ACWW only. These drivers are NOT compatible
with the SoundscapeVIVO card. If you are unaware of which Soundscape
card you own, please contact Gateway technical support before installing
these drivers.
PLEASE NOTE #2: There are two things that you need to do in order to
install the Windows 95 drivers for the Soundscape card. You must first
install the Windows 95 drivers; then you must install the applications
disks. Please read these instructions thoroughly and then proceed with
the installation.

(use these instructions if you have never had a Soundscape card in your system before)
1. Insert Soundscape PnP card and boot your PC.

When prompted for which driver to install for the new hardware, you
will need to choose "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer"
and point the browser to were you extract the files at.
2. Click on OK.
It will then prompt you to copy the files from a:\
3. Click on OK and it will begin copying files from the floppy.
4. It will then detect the gameport joystick followed by the Soundscape Sound
Blaster emulation
Please note: The joystick driver will need to come from the Windows
95 install media or if already installed, Windows 95 will automatically
copy the driver for you.
If Windows 95 does not detect the Soundscape Sound Blaster emulation or asks you
to re-boot before it detects the Sound Blaster emulation, there is a conflict
in the system. Please refer to the section titled "Driver Configurations."
Updating your Windows 95 SoundscapeVIVO drivers
If you already have a version of the Windows 95 Soundscape drivers installed, the
procedure to update the driver is very simple.
To access the driver configuration page:
1. Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties."
2. Select the Device Manager tab.
3. Double-click on "Sound, video, and game controller." This will expand
that tree branch, allowing you to see the ENSONIQ Soundscape driver.
4. Double-click on the ENSONIQ Soundscape branch and click "Driver."
5. Click on "Change Driver" and then "Have Disk."
6. Point the path for the drive to where you have placed the updated driver
and click on "OK."
7. Choose ENSONIQ Soundscape and click on "OK."
8. Click on "OK" again.
It will then copy the needed files to your hard drive and update your system.
Installing the Application files and DOS Mode compatibility
Before continuing with your installation, you need to try playing both
a .WAV file and a .MID file using the media player program to be sure
that your Soundscape card is functioning normally. If both files play,
continue with these installation instructions. If either file does not
play, please contact Gateway technical support to trouble shoot your installation.
Now that your drivers are installed and functioning normally, you need to
install the applications disks, which were included in your download, so
that you have DOS MODE compatibility and also the Voyetra applications.

Continue following the prompts on the screen. When you are prompted to insert
disk 2, simply click on OK and the system will continue copying files. Once
complete, reboot your system for changes to take effect.

card when you want to play games in DOS.
