- Driver Parameters In CONFIG.SYS File
- ------------------------------------
- The following parameters are used for the Sound Blaster series of drivers:

-
- where
-
- DEVNO is the audio device number (default: 1)
-
- DMA is the 8-bit DMA channel to be used by the audio card
- (applicable only for Sound Blaster Pro/Pro2, 16, and AWE32)
- Valid values: 0, 1, 3 (SB Pro, Pro MCV, SB16, AWE32)
-
- HDMA is the 16-bit DMA channel to be used by Sound Blaster 16 & AWE32
- (applicable only for Sound Blaster 16 and AWE32)
- Valid values: 5, 6, 7 (SB16, AWE32)
-
- INT is the interrupt level to be used by the audio card
- Valid values: 2, 5, 7, 10 (SB Pro, 16, AWE32)
- 3, 5, 7 (SB Pro MCV)

- Valid value: 2-64 (even number only)
-
- MPUADDR is the MPU-401 interface base address (default: 330 hex,
- applicable only for Sound Blaster 16 and Sound Blaster AWE32)
- Valid values: 300, 330 hex

-
- Increasing the Number of Allowable Audio Instances
- --------------------------------------------------
- You can increase the total number of audio applications that can be
- opened at the same time by modifying the following line in your
- CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\SSMDD.SYS /S:64 /P:64
-
- This instructs the MMPM/2 subsystems to allow a maximum of 64 processes
- to be started at one time.
