- ------------------
- 1. What is SETUPSA
- ------------------
- SETUPSA.EXE is an application which makes settings so that the OPL3-
- SA can be used in a DOS or Windows 3.1 environment.
- SETUPSA.EXE makes sound card settings when the PC is started up.
- When the OPL3-SA3 is installed in the PC, this is also used when you
- wish to change sound card settings after installation.
- The setting data will be saved in OPl3SA.INI
-
- -----------
- 2. Start-up
- -----------
- At the command line, input the following.
-
- SETUPSA [/S] (/S is optional)
-
- If SETUPSA is started up without an option, a setting dialog box will
- appear in the screen.
- If the /S option is specified, SETUPSA will make the settings for
- sound card I/O port, IRQ, DMA, and volume settings that were written
- into the OPL3SA.INI file, will display these settings on the screen,
- and will exit.
- (In this case it will not be possible to change the settings.)
-
- ------------
- 3. Operation
- ------------
- When SETUPSA is started up without an option, a setting dialog box
- will appear on the screen. This will display the following.
-
- < When using a keyboard >
- [TAB] key ---> Select the next item.
- [SHIFT] + [TAB] ---> Select the previous item.
-
- [<-], [->] keys ---> Modify the setting of the selected item.
- (Sound Blaster IRQ and MPU401 IRQ are linked.)
-
- [S] key ---> Test the Sound Blaster mode Wave tone generator.
- [W] key ---> Test the WSS mode Wave tone generator.
- [F] ---> Test the FM tone generator.
-
- [Enter] key ---> Save the settings to the OPL3SA.INI and exit.
- [ESC] key ---> Exit without saving settings.
-
- < When using a mouse >
- Move the cursor to the item that you wish to set, and left-click to
- set.
- (Sound Blaster IRQ and MPU401 IRQ are linked.)
- In the volume section, left-click to set the [UP] and [DOWN] keys.
- Double-click the [OK] button to save the settings to OPL3SA.INI and
- exit.
- Double-click the [CANCEL] button to exit without saving the settings.
-
- < About "3D Control" >
- The YMF715 (OPL3-SA3) contains Yamaha's proprietary "Ymersion" wide
- stereo technology which creates an emphasized sense of spatial spread
- when two speakers are used. In the MAIN window (setting dialog window),
- select [3D] located at the bottom and press the [Enter] key to access
- the "3D Control" window. (If you are using a mouse, double-click the
- [3D] button to access the "3D Control" window.) If you have selected
- the Manual preset, you can adjust the amounts of Ymersion, Bass, and
- Treble. If you have selected the Hall 1, Hall 2, Church or Disco preset,
- the amounts of Ymersion, Bass and Treble are preset, and the Ymersion,
- Bass and Treble setting values will not be displayed.
-
- < About the tone generator tests >
- The [S], [W] and [F] keys check whether sound is output correctly
- from the monitor speakers or headphones connected to the sound card.
- If you modify the settings, we recommend that you use these functions
- to check that sound is being output correctly.
- If you hear no sound and there is no error message, it is possible
- that the volume has been turned down.
- If you select the Sound Test item in the 3D window and press the
- [Enter] key, the YMF715 (OPL3-SA3) will perform the above test.
- At this time, if the test fails, a message will be output and you will
- return to the Main window (the setting dialog window).
-
- < About the exit message >
- When you use the [OK] button or the [Enter] key to exit, a message of
- "Next time, do you want to open this 'setup window' in boot sequence?
- [Y/N]" may appear.
- If you wish to display a setting dialog box when the PC is started up
- so that settings can be modified, press the [Y] key. If not, press a
- key other than the [Y] key.
-
- < About the error messages >
- Refer to "7. Explanation of the error messages"in this file.
-
- ---------------------------------------
- 4. When using Config Manager (CM)
- ---------------------------------------
- If Config Manager (CM) is installed in your PC, or if the PC's PnP
- BIOS supports the sound card, SETUPSA.EXE will only read the settings
- assigned by CM, and will not reset the sound card.
- In this case, only the volume can be changed in the above dialog box.
- (I/O, IRQ and DMA settings cannot be made.)
-
- -----------------------------
- 5. About the default settings
- -----------------------------
- The factory default settings are as follows.
- | I/O IRQ DMA
- ----------------+-------------------
- Sound Blaster | 220h 5 1
- WSS | 530h 5 0
- MPU401 | 330h 5 -
- ------------------------------------
-
- ---------------------------
