- Sound Source Driver for Windows 3.1 and Multimedia Windows
- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- SNDSRC.DRV is a Windows WAVE driver. It requires either:
- 1) Windows 3.1 or
- 2) Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions.
-
- Notes:
- This driver works well in Standard mode with nearly any computer and
- in Enhanced mode with a 25 MHz 386 or faster processor. Using this
- driver in Enhanced mode with a slower computer may cause your system
- to slow down while WAVE sounds are playing and the sound quality
- will suffer.
-
- Sounds recorded at 5.5 KHz cannot be played since the Sound Source
- operates at 7 KHz. Sounds recorded at 7.3 KHz - 44.1 KHz can be
- played, but the higher sampling rates may lose a little quality.
-
- This driver uses a printer port to play sounds. If a sound is
- playing, the printer port will be unavailable until the sound has
- finished playing. If the Print Manager (or some other application)
- is using the port, the Sound Source driver will NOT play the sound.

- This software is distributed AS IS with no warranty expressed or
- implied. Accordingly we are not asking you to pay for it. We do ask
- that if you use this software you also buy Intermission 3.0, the best
- screen saver for Windows.
-
- This driver may be distributed freely so long as:
-
- 1) All files are included: SNDSRC.DRV, OEMSETUP.INF and SNDSRC.TXT.
- 2) No money is charged for this driver other than BBS or disk fees.
- Not more than $5.00 may be charged for disk fees.
-
- Instructions for use:
- ---------------------
-
- 1) Copy SNDSRC.DRV and OEMSETUP.INF to a floppy disk or temporary
- subdirectory on your hard drive.
-
- 2) Run the Windows Control Panel. (Usually in the "Main" group.)
- Double click the "Drivers" Icon.
-
- 3) Click the [Add...] button in the "Drivers" dialog box.
-
- 4) Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver" in the list box labeled
- "List of Drivers" and click the [OK] button.
-
- 5) Type the path to the directory containing SNDSRC.DRV and
- OEMSETUP.INF in the edit field and click the [OK] button.
-
- 6) Hilight the "Disney Sound Source wave driver" item in the list
- box and click the [OK] button.
-
- 7) You will see a dialog titled "Sound Source Setup". Select the
- port your Sound Source is connected to in the group of radio
- buttons titled "Port". Select "Speaker always on" if the Sound
- Source is connected to a port not used for printing and you are
- not running the Sound Source on battery power. Selecting
- "Speaker always on" keeps the Sound Source from making nasty
- clicking noises when sounds start playing but it also makes it
- impossible to print from the port the Sound Source is connected
- to. Click the [OK] button when you're done with setup.
-
- 8) Click the [Close] button in the "Drivers" dialog.
-
- 9) Restart Windows.
-
- Note:
- You should probably also install the [MCI] Sound Driver for
- complete functionality with all Multimedia Windows applications.
- For instructions, please see your Windows User's Guide.
