86 PCM-9550F/FM/L User's Manual
7.1 Introduction
The PCM-9550F/FM on-board audio interface provides
high-quality stereo sound and FM music synthesis (ESFM) by
using the ES1373 audio controller from Creative Technology Ltd.
The audio interface can record, compress, and play back voice,
sound, and music with a built-in mixer control. The PCM-9550F/
FM's on-board audio interface also supports the Plug and Play
(PnP) standard and provides PnP configuration for audio, FM, and
MPU-104 logical devices. It is compatible with AC97 version 2.0,
voice, and music functions. The ESFM synthesizer is register
compatible with the OPL3 and has extended capabilities.
7.2 Installation of audio driver
Before installing the audio driver, please take note of the proce-
dures detailed below. You must know which operating system you
are using in your PCM-9550F/FM, and then refer to the corre-
sponding installation flow chart. Just follow the steps in the flow
chart. You can quickly and successfully complete the installation,
even though you are not familiar with instructions for Windows.
Note: The CD-ROM drive is designated as "D" through-
out this chapter.
Note: The PCM-9550F Audio driver is the same as
PCM-9574's. Users can reference it on the CD.
Note: 1. In step 1, for Windows 98, the path is:
'D:/Biscuit/9550F(9574)/audio/Win98/setup.exe.
2. In step 1 for Windows 2000, the path is:
D:/Biscuit/9550F(9574)/audio/win2k/setup.exe.
3. In step 1, for Windows NT, the path is:
D:/Biscuit/9550F(9574)/audio/winnt/setup.exe.
