=====================
ABOUT THIS PACKAGE...
=====================
You are about to install the Windows 95 drivers for the
Audiotrix Pro.

The MIDI drivers are based on the OPL4 drivers provided
by Yamaha.  We have, over time, modified and fine tuned
these drivers for optimum performance on the Audiotrix
Pro.  The wave drivers, which were formerly supplied
by Crystal Semiconductor, the manufacturer of the CS4231
Codec on the Audiotrix Pro, are now based on the Microsoft
Windows Sound System drivers.

For these drivers to work properly, you will still need
the card to be initialized in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file using
the "SET MEDIATRIX" and "SETUPPRO -I" lines.  If these lines
are not present,  refer to the "Installing the Audiotrix Pro
Setup disk" section.  If you were using one of our previous
Windows 95 installations which used Windows 3.1x device
drivers, the installation procedure outlined here will
automatically remove all traces of these old drivers.  

The following accessories which were packaged on the
Audiotrix Pro Setup Disk no longer function with our
new Windows 95 drivers: "Audiotrix Pro Input Mixer",
"Audiotrix Pro Output Mixer" and the "Audiotrix Pro
Recorder".  These utilities were formerly supplied by
Crystal Semiconductor and are now replaced by the "Volume
Control" (for both input and output), and by the "Sound
Recorder".  To avoid confusion, you should delete the
Crystal icons from your Mediatrix folder.  These icons
should be replaced by creating a shortcut to the "Volume
Control" and the "Sound Recorder".  Refer to the Windows
95 help file for information on how to create a shortcut
to a file.  You can find these two programs from the Start
Menu, in the \Programs\Accessories\Multimedia folder.

ADPCM files created under Windows 3.1 with the Audiotrix
Pro Recorder will not play under Windows 95 in their
current format.  The problem lies in the files themselves,
no in the device driver.  If you have any ADPCM files that
you would like to play under Windows 95, you can download
a file converter called ADPCMCVT.ZIP from our BBS or from
our FTP site (ftp.mediatrix.com) to convert them to a proper
IMA ADPCM format.

The Audiotrix Pro OPL4 driver provided in this package
fixes problems when using the RAM daughterboard software
under Windows 95.  You will also need to download an
update of the RAM software which has been revised to work
under Windows 95.  You can download these updated files
from our BBS at (819) 829-8749, or from our FTP site
(ftp.mediatrix.com).



============================================
PREPARATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THESE DRIVERS
============================================
For this driver package to work properly, you must first
remove some of the sound drivers which were automatically
installed by Windows 95.

To do this, you must click on the "Start" button, select
"Settings", and then "Control Panel" to access the Windows
95 Control Panel.  Once there, double click on the "System"
icon, and select the "Device Manager" notebook tab.

Select "Sound, video and game controllers".  Remove the
following drivers: "MS Windows Sound System Compatible"
and "Windows Sound System Soundblaster Emulation".  Once
these drivers are removed, restart Windows 95.

If you had installed our beta driver package, you must also
remove the "Audiotrix Pro Sound Card" driver using the same
procedure as above.

Make sure you have installed the multimedia accessories
packaged with Windows 95.  These accessories include the
Media Player (for playing WAV or MID files), the Sound
Recorder (for recording WAV files) and the Volume Control.
If you have not installed these items, keep your Windows 95
CD-ROM or installation diskettes handy because you will
need them if you have not installed any of the Windows 95
multimedia components.



---------------------------------------
INSTALLING THE AUDIOTRIX PRO SETUP DISK
---------------------------------------
If the Audiotrix Pro software is not currently installed
on your hard disk, you must install it.

Step 1: Shutdown Windows 95.

          Click on the "Start" button, then "Shutdown"
          and select "Restart and return to MS-DOS mode".

Step 2: Insert your Audiotrix Pro Setup disk in your floppy
        drive and switch to that drive.

Step 3: Run the installation program.

          Type "INSTALL" and press <Enter>.

At the main installation screen, you are asked which
components you want to install.  DO NOT install the
Windows applications.

Once the setup disk is installed, follow the instructions
in the next section to install the Windows 95 drivers.



======================
INSTALLING THE DRIVERS
======================
Use the "Add New Hardware" Wizard in the "Control Panel"
to install the Audiotrix Pro drivers.  To access the
"Control Panel" click the "Start" button, then select
"Settings" and finally, select "Control Panel".  Double
click the "Add New Hardware" icon to install the drivers.

Follow these steps in the "Add New Hardware" Wizard:

Step 1: After viewing the first screen, click "Next" to
        continue

Step 2: Indicate you DO NOT want Windows to search for
        your new hardware and select "Next" to continue.

Step 3: Select "Sound, video and game controllers" as
        the hardware type you want to install then select
        "Next" to continue.

Step 4: You are now at the manufacturer selection screen.
        Select "Have Disk" and specify the drive or
        directory where the Audiotrix Pro drivers are
        located and click "OK".

Step 5: Select "Audiotrix Pro Sound Card" and click "OK".

Step 6: You will then see the configuration of the card.
        Click "Next" to continue.  If you do not see
        the configuration and you would like to, select
        "Details".  Windows will then copy the files
        required to use the driver.

Step 7: Select "Finish" to complete the installation
        procedure and restart your computer.

Notes
-----
If you had installed our beta driver package, you must remove
the "Audiotrix Pro Sound Card" driver (as explained in the
Preparations Before Installing these Drivers section before
installing them using the above procedure.  If you do not
remove them, you will see two instances of the driver in
the Device Manager.

By default, the driver will be configured for full duplex
audio using the recommended full duplex configuration
(IRQ11, Play DMA 3, Record DMA 0, I/O 530).  If Windows 95
can not allocate two DMA channels (1 for playback and 1 for
recording), it will configure the driver for half duplex.

These drivers no longer need the SETUPPRO Wave configuration
to match the settings of the driver.  You still need to
initialize the Audiotrix Pro in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for
the Soundblaster and General MIDI emulation to work.  We
will address this in a future release of the driver.

If the "Add New Hardware" Wizard prompts you to insert the
Windows 95 installation disk or CD, it is because you have
not installed some of the required multimedia components
(ie. Sound Recorder, Volume Control, audio codecs, etc.).
We have noticed that sometimes when the Wizard wants you
to insert the Windows 95 disk, it will not be able to 
locate the file it is looking for.  In these cases, make 
sure your Windows 95 CD or installation disks are present 
in the specified drive and click on the OK button.  If 
problems persist, click on the "Skip File" button to move 
on to the next file and exit the installation.  To install 
missing multimedia components, use the "Add/Remove Programs" 
Wizard in the control panel.



=====================================
MODIFICATIONS DURING THE INSTALLATION
=====================================
The following changes will be made to your SYSTEM during
the installation process:

The Add New Hardware Wizard will copy the following
files:

    \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ATPWAVE.DRV
    \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ATPWAVE.VXD
    \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OPL4.DRV

If present, it will remove the following lines from your
SYSTEM.INI file:

    [386Enh]
    device=vsndsys.386      (if you were using the drivers
                             on the Audiotrix Pro Setup Disk)
    device=cs31ba11.386     (if you were using the drivers
                             from the SETUP 95 Disk)

    [Drivers]
    wave=cs31ba11.drv
    aux=cs31ba11.drv

The Wizard will also add the following lines to your
SYSTEM.INI file:

    [Drivers]
    midi=opl4.drv

    [opl4.drv]
    portPCM=380
    portFM=388
    FMLevel=4
    PCMLevel=7
    int=0
    SynthMode=1
    OpMode=5
    2OpEnable=01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,
    4OpEnable=01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,
    DualMode=01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,00,00,00,00,
    DrumLevel=64
    BankSelect=0

Please note future versions of the Audiotrix Pro OPL4
driver will write its configuration settings directly
in the Windows Registry.

The Audiotrix Pro Setup Disk adds the following lines
to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

SET MEDIATRIX=C:\TRXPRO
C:\TRXPRO\SETUPPRO -I



==============================
HOW TO RECONFIGURE THE DRIVERS
==============================
To change the configuration of the wave drivers, go
in the "Control Panel", double click on the "System"
icon and then select the "Device Manager" notebook
tab.  Select "Sound, video and game controller" and
then double click "Audiotrix Pro Sound Card".  To modify
the configuration of the driver, select the "Resources"
notebook tab and you will see the current configuration
parameters of the driver.  Double click on the name
of the item you want to modify and you will be able
to change it's configuration setting.  Make sure your
settings here reflect your Wave Settings in SETUPPRO,
which is located in the \TRXPRO directory.

To configure the card for full duplex, you must use
"Basic Configuration 0".  In that setup, the first
DMA entry is the Wave playback DMA and the second
is the Wave capture DMA.

To modify the parameters of the OPL4 device driver, you
must go in "Multimedia", which is in the "Control Panel",
and select the "Advanced" notebook tab.   Select "Midi
Devices and Instruments", then double click on the
"Audiotrix Pro OPL4 Synth" driver and then select
"Settings".



===============
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
Q : Why don't the Audiotrix Pro Input and Output Mixers
    work any more?
A : Because we wrote our own drivers for Windows 95, these
    programs which were provided by Crystal Semiconductor
    do not function anymore.  Instead, use the volume
    control icon which resides in the taskbar.

Q : I can't find the input mixer...  How am I supposed
    to select the input source to record?
A : First, you need to double click on the speaker icon
    in the taskbar, or on the volume control in the
    multimedia folder.  From the "Options" menu, select
    "Properties".  Then, in the "Adjust volume for" box,
    select "recording" and click "OK".  You will see the
    input mixer appear on the screen.  You can open two
    volume control windows on your screen, one for input
    and another for input.

Q : When I click on the Volume Control icon in the taskbar,
    I only get one slider called volume, how can I control
    individual sound outputs?
A : Double click on the Volume Control icon to get the
    full volume control panel.  To select which sliders
    are displayed, select "Properties" from the "Options"
    menu.  In the lower part of the screen, you can select
    which volume controls you want to display on the screen.

Q : The drivers are installed, I can hear sounds but the
    volume control icon is not in the taskbar.
A1: Go in the Control Panel, then select "Multimedia".
    In the "Audio" notebook tab, there is an option called
    "Show volume control in taskbar", select this item then
    click on the "Apply" button in the lower right corner of
    the screen to see the volume control.
A2: Make sure the Volume Control accessory is installed on
    your system.  If it is not, you can install it using
    the "Add/Remove Programs" Wizard in the Control Panel.

Q : After installing the drivers, when I restart my computer,
    I get the following error message: "ATPWAVE.VXD is out
    of date."
A : The "Microsoft Sound System" drivers are installed on
    the system.  You must remove them as explained in the
    "PREPARATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING THESE DRIVERS" section
    of this text.

Q : When I'm in a DOS box, I cannot hear General MIDI music
    in DOS games.
A : This is caused by the Windows OPL4 driver which sets
    the Audiotrix Pro MPU-401 interface to use an external
    MIDI device when you are in Windows.  You can resolve
    this problem by running the SETMPU utility (which is
    in the \TRXPRO directory) with the "/M3" parameter
    (ex.: "SETMPU /M3").  We will address this problem
    in a future release of the drivers.

Q : I have to reboot my computer twice to get the wave
    drivers work and get the volume control icon to
    appear in the taskbar.
A : To resolve this problem, you must change the
    configuration of the driver to make it use automatic
    settings determined on startup by Windows 95.  To
    do this, go in the driver configuration screen as
    explained in the "How to reconfigure the drivers"
    section.  Once in the "Resources" tab of the wave
    driver, you will notice there is a checkbox called
    "Use Automatic Settings".  You must check this box
    and this should resolve your problem.

Q : I am trying to play a game using Microsoft Sound System
    in a Windows DOS box, but I get no sound output.
A : Go in Mixerpro and raise the volume of "Wave out left"
    and "Wave out right".  This problem will be fixed in the
    next release of the driver.

Q : I have a Pentium 133 Mhz machine, and I am having problems
    playing MIDI music.
A : If you are in this situation, please e-mail our technical
    support department at "techsupp@mediatrix.com" to give us
    a description of your computer system (ie. motherboard,
    brand name, etc...).

    The OPL4 driver in this package should work properly,
    on most computers but a small number of users are still
    experiencing problems.  Please e-mail us at techsupp@mediatrix.com
    if you encounter any problems.  We will get back to you
    as soon as possible.

Q : I can't play the INTRO-AD.WAV file under Windows 95.
A : This ADPCM file was created under Windows 3.1 and does
    not play back as is under Windows 95.  You need to
    download the file called ADPCMCVT.ZIP from our BBS or
    from our FTP site (ftp.mediatrix.com) to convert it
    to a proper IMA ADPCM format.
