- Using Digital (.WAV) Audio with DOS 6.0's DoubleSpace*
-
- The DoubleSpace utility included with DOS 6.0 can cause problems if you attempt to
- play or record "high data rate" (i.e.: stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit) digital audio to or
- from a compressed disk. In DOSDAT or WinDAT, the symptom will be a "Disk Could Not
- Keep Up With Digital Audio" error message, or in some cases the program may even
- crash.
-
- Therefore, if you anticipate that you will be playing or recording a lot of
- stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit digital audio, you should set up a non-compressed drive
- partition and configure both DOSDAT and WinDAT to use this drive as their Work and
- Temp directories. In both programs this is done from the Setup window.
-
- For information on setting up a non-compressed partition for your hard drive, refer
- to your DOS 6.0 Users Guide.
-
- *The same procedure should be followed if you are using Stacker, a third-party disk
- compression utility.

- About the Windows MCI CD Audio Driver
-
- Some of the Windows applications in this package will allow you to play back CD
- audio from your CD-ROM drive. These applications require the Windows MCI driver for
- CD-ROM audio, MCICDA.DRV. Unless this driver is properly installed and configured,
- you will not be able to play CD audio from within Windows.
-
- If you have trouble with any of the Voyetra applications playing CD audio in Windows,
- try playing the same track using the Windows Media Player instead. If the Media
- Player won't play it either (or if the CD Audio device is not even listed in the
- Media Player's Device menu), then the MCI driver for CD audio is probably not
- installed.
-
- To install the MCICDA driver:
-
- 1) From the Windows Control Panel, run the Drivers applet.
-
- 2) From the Drivers applet choose Add.
-
- 3) From the list of available drivers, click on [MCI] CD Audio and then click on OK.
-
- 4) Follow the on-screen instructions. In most cases you'll be prompted to insert one or more of your original Windows installation disks.
