; During installation, if you select "Save the required changes to 
; C:\SSound\*.NEW" OR "Do not make any changes" to customize your StreetSound 
; driver installation, you must follow the steps below before you can operate 
; StreetSound.  
;
; Step 1:
;
;   Add the following section to the SYSTEM.INI file.
;   You may copy and paste this section at the end of your SYSTEM.INI file
;   if you like.

[nmpsnd31.drv]
Lpt=1
; Interrupt=0 for polled mode, or "7" or your port's IRQ number.
Interrupt=0
LineOutVol=16384
WaveADCVol=65535
VoiceADCVol=65535
; ReadInterfaceMode="Best" or "Byte" or "Nibble"
;   "Best" will automatically detect whether "Byte" or "Nibble" is
;   appropriate for your system.
ReadInterfaceMode=Best
; WriteInterfaceMode="Fast" or "Normal"
;   "Fast" seems to produce the most reliable and reasonably fast
;   results on most systems.
WriteInterfaceMode=Fast
; Decimate="Yes" or "No"
;   Enabling decimation results in better CPU performance
;   at the expense of somewhat reduced audio quality.
Decimate=Yes

;
; Step 2:
;
;   Add the following lines to the [drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
;   If you already have a "wave=" line, you may substitute "wave1=" below.

wave=[path]\nmpsnd31.drv ; Where [path] should be the path to the driver file.
mixer=[path]\nmpsnd31.drv ; Where [path] should be the path to the driver file.
aux=[path]\nmpsnd31.drv ; Where [path] should be the path to the driver file.

;
; Step 3:
;
;   Add the following to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.

device=[path]\nmpsnd31.386

; Step 4:
;
;   Maintain the SYSTEM.INI file in its original format by selecting "File" 
;   and "Save As" to give the revised SYSTEM.INI a different name, such as 
;   "SYSTEM.SND."  To switch between the two, change the extensions.

; Important Notes:
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
;   It is important to supply power to the StreetSound module prior to 
;   attaching the module to the parallel port.  The module should
;   be powered up and attached to the parallel port prior to booting either
;   Windows 3.1x or Windows 95.
;

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Troubleshooting Tips:
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; Problem:
;   In Windows 3.1, .WAV files do not play smoothly, or "freeze," while playing 
;   back sounds on a Hewlett-Packard Vectra.
;
; Solution:
;   From the Program Manager, select the StreetSound icon.  Select StreetSound 
;   Settings to access the StreetSound Module driver dialog box.  Make the 
;   following changes:
;	Service Mode	Select "Win/OS-2"
;	Read Mode	Select "Nibble"
;	Write Mode	Select "Normal"
;
;   And, if you must use a parallel port extension cable, use one that is 
;   2 inches to 3 inches in length.
;
;
; Problem:
;   .WAV files are not playing and a Lexmark 2050 printer is attached.
;
; Solution:
;   In the printer driver settings, disable DOS printing and Bi-Directional
;   printing.  In the StreetSound Module driver dialog box, change the Service
;   Mode to "Win/OS-2."
;   
;
; Problem:
;   Parallel port devices other than a printer don't work properly.
;   (e.g., parallel port SCSI adapter, lan adapter, or video capture card.)
;
; Solution:
;   The parallel port sound module is not compatible with any parallel
;   port device other than a printer.  Therefore, you cannot use this
;   device in conjunction with anything other than a printer.  Thus, the
;   solution to this problem is to only attach whichever device will
;   support the immediate processing requirement - i.e., your lan adapter
;   or the parallel port sound module.
