I installed the Audio Plus 6400 PnP 3D in a non-PnP motherboard. After installing the Win95 drivers the system was rebooted and my system hung. How do I fix this?

You can download the Win95 drivers for use with non-PnP motherboards and reinstall the drivers using this new driver, or follow the directions below:

The following line is added to the CONFIG.SYS that may be causing the problem:

device=CS4232C.EXE /A

• Boot your system to the safe mode command prompt only by pressing F8 when you see Starting Windows 95 . . .
• Edit the CONFIG.SYS with the Win95 DOS based editor program EDIT.COM by typing the following EDIT CONFIG.SYS
• Change the /A parameter to /O, the line should now read as follows:

device=CS4232C.EXE /O
• Save the file and exit the edit program
• Reboot the system to see if it still hangs

How do I change the IRQ that the Crystal PnP Audio System Codec uses?

First,

1. Start the Control Panel
2. Click on System
3. Click on the Device Manager tab
4. Ensure that View devices by type is selected
5. Double click on Sound, video and game controllers
6. Double click on Crystal PnP Audio System Codec
7. Click on the Resources tab
8. Deselect Use automatic settings by clicking on the box next to it to remove the check mark
9. Select Basic configuration 0001 from the setting based on menu

To change the value:

1. Highlight the resource you want to change and click on the Change Setting button.
2. You can then select the resource desired and determine if Win95 reports a conflict with the setting.

How do I change the IRQ that the Crystal PnP Audio System MPU-401 Compatible driver uses?

You can change the IRQ by first deselecting Use automatic settings and then changing from Basic configuration 0000 to Basic configuration 0001. After doing this, you can change the IRQ used.

You cannot change the address used on Basic configuration 0001. If you change to Basic configuration 0002, no IRQ is used and you can change the address that is used.

How do I change from Full Duplex to Half Duplex?

1. Start the Control Panel
2. Click on System
3. Click on the Device Manager tab
4. Ensure that View devices by type is selected
5. Double click on Sound, video and game controllers
6. Double click on Crystal PnP Audio System Codec
7. Click on the Settings tab
8. From here you can select Half or Full Duplex or Enhanced Full Duplex. We have found that on some systems that Full Duplex will not operate unless you select Enh. Full.

How do I enable/disable the 3D sound?

• Start the Win95 Volume control.

You can access the Volume Control by double clicking on the speaker icon on the task bar or from Programs/Accessories/Multimedia/Volume Control.

• Click on the Advanced button located under the Master out control.

If the Advanced button is not there, click on Options/Advanced Controls

• Click on the box to the left of 3D Audio to enable or disable the 3D sound effects

Windows 3.1x

Use the CS32CFG.EXE program from the DOS prompt before starting Windows 3.1.

You can select all the resources the card uses in Windows 3.1.

After making the changes you MUST restart the computer before the changes take effect.

How do I enable/disable the 3D sound?

• Start the Crystal Audio Mixer.

The icon is located in the Crystal group

• Click on the box to the left of SRS to enable or disable the 3D sound effects

When trying to Install the DOS software does not install and hangs the system. What can I do?

1. Download the following file INSTD.ZIP
2. Make a copy of the Win 3.1/DOS Driver Disk 1 of 3
3. Unzip INSTD.ZIP
4. Copy the INSTD.EXE that was unzipped to the disk
5. Reinstall the software

How do I get sound to work in DOS games?

To get sound with the Audio Plus PnP Series using DOS games you should verify the following:

1. Ensure that the CS4232C.EXE program is being loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Ensure that the CS4232C.EXE program is being loaded in the DOSSTART.BAT file.
3. Set the game's sound card selection to Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro or SB16.

If you are running in DOS mode:

1. Ensure that the DOS CONFIG.SYS file also contains the CS4232C.EXE statement.

Some DOS games also require that the Set Blaster statement is added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT (AUTOEXEC.DOS).

Following is the syntax to the statement:

SET BLASTER=A2x0 Iy Dz T4

x = 2 or 4 (This is the address number)

y = 5 or 7 or 9 or 10 (This is the IRQ number)

z = 0 or 1 or 3 (This is the DMA number)

Example:

If your settings are address 220, IRQ 5, DMA 1, add the following to your AUTOEXEC.BAT (AUTOEXEC.DOS):

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

How do I enable/disable the 3D sound?

Run the CR3D.EXE program from the DOS prompt to turn 3D sound on if 3D sound is off or to turn 3D sound off if 3D sound is on. The program will report if the 3D sound is turned on or off after running the program.

General

How do I increase the startup volume on the 6400 3D PnP?

Use the supplied DOS mixer.

A line simular to the following is put in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

C:\AP64003D\CS32MIX /M=12 /F=12 /W=12 /C=0 /L=0 /T=0,0

Just run the CS32MIX.EXE program from DOS or in a DOS window and change the settings and click on save. This will save the changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT. Now the volume settings will be automatically set to these values when you turn on the system.
