=====================
ABOUT THIS PACKAGE...
=====================
You are about to install a Beta version of 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.

From the beginning, we have always been dependent on Crystal
for the drivers for the CS4231.  We were never given a chance
to modify these drivers since Crystal never released the source
code to anyone.  To our great surprise, this past August, Crystal
announced to us that they would not be developing any Windows 95
drivers for the CS4231, nor would the source code be made available
so that we could develop these drivers ourselves.  Nevertheless,
because the CS4231 is also Microsoft Windows Sound System
compatible, we were able to use the tools provided by Microsoft
in Windows 95 to modify the WSS drivers to our own specific needs.
This is what we have done, and this is basically the cause of the
delay in getting these drivers to you.  The final version of
Microsoft's SDK and DDK for Windows 95 was only made available in
October 1995.

We would like to emphasize the fact that these drivers are Beta
drivers.  We have not yet completed full duplex mode, however, the
Audiotrix Pro functions very well in half duplex mode.  In order to
play proprietary Crystal ADPCM files, you must use the Sound Recorder
provided with Windows 95  These proprietary ADPCM files will not yet
playback using the Audiotrix Pro Jukebox or any other media player
using the MCI interface.  

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 Beta 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.

We are currently working on integrating full duplex into these
drivers as well as making the former Crystal proprietary ADPCM
format playback through the MCI interface.  The ADPCM problem
means that the file INTRO-AD.WAV currently provided with the
Audiotrix Pro will not playback on any media player in Windows
95 except for the Sound Recorder.

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 for it 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.

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
-----
The default configuration of the driver should be the default
settings of SETUPPRO (IRQ 11, DMA 3, Port 530).  Many times
however, we have found the Windows manager to use different
settings.  For the drivers to work, you need to match the
driver configuration settings with the Wave settings in
SETUPPRO (which is located in the \TRXPRO directory).  To
modify the configuration, refer to "How to reconfigure the
drivers" for instructions on how to change these settings.

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 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".


-----
Notes
-----
In the properties screen of the device manages, there are two
configuration schemes available: "Basic Configuration 0" (which
is the default) and  "Basic Configuration 1".  The difference
between the two is that "Basic Configuration 1" allows you to set
up the card in Full Duplex mode.  Unfortunately, Full Duplex is
not currently available in the driver.  We are providing a means
to configure the driver to make it easier for users to update their
drivers when it will be possible to use this feature.


===============
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 : 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.
