- Congratulations on your purchase of SoundBits, an
- exciting way to personalize your Windows computer with
- sound.
-
- This file contains information on the following topics:
- * ACTIVATING THE SAMPLE SOUND SCHEME DURING SETUP
- * TURNING SOUNDS OFF
- * MEDIAVISION AUDIO DRIVER
- * PROGRAM MANAGER WITH STARTUP APPS
- * DISABLING SOUNDBITS
-
- ACTIVATING THE SAMPLE SOUND SCHEME DURING SETUP
- If you choose to activate the sample sound scheme when
- you install SoundBits, any current unsaved scheme in the
- Sound Control Panel is saved as "Your Old Scheme."
-
- If you already have a sound scheme called "Your Old
- Scheme," it will be over-written with the current
- unsaved scheme.
-
-
- TURNING SOUNDS OFF
- To turn off system sounds:
- 1. Open the SoundBits icon in the Program Manager.
- 2. Choose the Set Sounds button.
- 3. Choose the <none> scheme from the Sound Schemes
- drop-down list box.
- 4. Choose the OK button.
-
-
- MEDIAVISION AUDIO DRIVER
- Early MediaVision audio drivers (MVPROAUD.DRV versions
- prior to 5/13, and possibly some versions after that
- date) may cause serious problems (GP Fault) when
- SoundBits is set up.
-
- To get an updated version of MVPROAUD.DRV, please
- contact MediaVision at 1-800-638-2807.
-
-
- PROGRAM MANAGER WITH STARTUP APPS
- Applications in your Program Manager StartUp Group which
- utilize custom icons may revert to the default icon when
- minimized. To avoid this problem:
-
- 1. Create and activate a sound scheme with "Application
- Open" set to <none>, using the Sound Control Panel.
-
- 2. Restart Windows.
-
-
- DISABLING SOUNDBITS

- 1. Go to Program Manager, and choose File Run.
- 2. Type SYSEDIT and choose OK.
- 3. Choose the SYSTEM.INI window.
- 4. Scroll to the [boot] section of SYSTEM.INI.
- 5. Remove all references to "SndEvnts.drv" in the
- "drivers=" line.
- 6. Choose File Save.
- 7. Exit the System Configuration Editor (SYSEDIT).
- 8. Restart Windows.
