5. HOW DO I SET UP MY SOUND CARD?

Setting sound card parameters:

Caesar II includes an auto detection program that should

set up your sound system upon installation. If you

encounter problems with this auto detection, consult the

following section.

To use a sound card with a program, it is sometimes

necessary to set a number of parameters using the setup

utility located in the game directory.

The significant values are the I/O Address, the Interrupt

Request Channel (IRQ) and the Direct Memory Access

(DMA) values of the relevant sound card. Boot from your

hard drive (ie. without a special boot disk) and type

“SET<enter>” and look for a line that begins with

“BLASTER=” followed by a sequence of letter/number

combinations including: Annn, In, Dn (where n represents

a numerical digit); Annn is the address, In is the IRQ and

Dn is the DMA value.

The setup program allows for specification of the type of

sound card as well as the Address, IRQ and DMA values of

the installed card; If any of these are incorrectly set, sound

will not work with the program.

If no BLASTER variable is found from SET, consult either

the sound card manual or the technician who installed the

device to obtain the Address, IRQ and DMA values.
