WINDOWS 95 MULTISOUND INSTALLATION
---------------------------------------

1.0 GENERAL NOTES

* The Turtle Beach CD Player (TBCD) displays a white rectangle next to 
	the main controls. This only affects the appearance of the Player 
	and not the functionality.

* If you wish only to install the driver, not the applications, you can
	use the .INF file located on our BBS.  This should be installed 
	from the "Add new Hardware" section of the Windows 95 control 
	panel.  Do not have Windows 95 search for the new hardware, it 
	will not find it.  On the screen labeled "Hardware Types" select 
	"Sound, Video, and Game Controllers" from the bottom of the list. 
	Where appropriate, click on the "Have-Disk" icon to install the 
	file.

1.1 INSTALLATION OF THE MULTISOUND IN WINDOWS 95

There are two possible scenarios (A & B) for installing the Multisound in Windows 95. 

A) The Multisound was already installed, and you installed Win95 over (into the same directory) an existing Windows installation.

Generally, if you install Win95 over your existing Windows installation, Turtle Beach products will work as they did before. This is not always the case, however, and you may need to make adjustments to your current setup.  The most noticeable difference will be that the Windows 95 multimedia mixer will not control the Multisound card.  In order to gain this function, you will need to download the MSND95.ZIP file from our BBS.  This file contains an .INF file which can be added to your system using the "Add New Hardware" icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel.  Do not have Windows 95 search for the new hardware, it will not find it.  On the screen labeled "Hardware Types" select "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers" from the bottom of the list.  Where appropriate, click on the "Have-Disk" icon to install the file.

After Windows 95 installation, goto section 1.2 of this document to register the Multisound in the Windows 95 Device Manager.

B) You installed Win95 into a different directory than an existing Windows installation, or have not yet installed the Multisound.

In either of these cases, a new install of the Multisound will be necessary.  This can be done by choosing 'Run' from the 'Start' button in Windows 95.  Insert your Multisound installation disk in your A:(or B:) drive and type: A:\SETUP.  Click on OK and follow the install directions.  Restart Windows 95 and watch for any error messages.  If you do not get any, test the Multisound by trying to play a .wav and .mid file through the Win95 Media Player.  If the card works, continue to the next paragraph.  If, on the other hand, you do receive any error messages, you can reconfigure the card's settings using the following procedure:
	1.  Open the Win95 Control Panel from the "My Computer" icon or 
		from the Start button.
	2.  Select "Multimedia."
	3.  Click on the "Advanced" tab setting.
	4.  Double-click on "Audio Devices" under Multimedia Drivers.
	5.  Double-click on "Audio for Turtle Beach Multisound..."
	6.  This will bring up a menu for the Multisound. Click on 
		"Settings."
	7.  Make changes to the setting that is causing the error. (See
		the manual for error explanations). 

Repeat this procedure until you have settings that work (Note: when changing the Port Address settings you must also change the dip switches on the card.  See the Multisound Manual for details).  

Once you have found acceptable settings, write them down: IRQ/INTERRUPT, PORT ADDRESS, and RAM ADDRESS.  Follow the directions in section "A" for the installation of the .INF file.  It is important to note that the .INF install will setup the Multisound at the default settings of IRQ/INTERRUPT = 10, PORT ADDRESS = 290, and RAM ADDRESS = D000-D7FF.  Once the .INF install is complete you will be prompted to restart your computer.  If your card's settings were originally anything other than the defaults, you will receive error messages again upon entering Windows.  Use the Multisound installation disk to change the settings back to what you wrote down earlier (Don't do a full install!  Just reconfigure!).  Restart the system again and the Multisound should function as it did before the .INF install, but it will have the enhanced Win95 mixer functions installed.

Short Overview of the above steps:

	1.  Run the standard install for the Multisound.
	2.  If necessary, use the setup program to reconfigure the card. 
		Remember to note the settings.   
	3.  Run the .INF install for the Multisound (available on 		BBS).
	4.  If necessary, use the setup procedure above to modify card to 		working settings. (steps 1-7 from above) 	

1.2 REGISTERING THE MULTISOUND WITH THE WINDOWS 95 REGISTRY

For this next step, you will need to know the current settings of the Multisound card.  If you don't remember, steps 1-10 will show you how to find that information

1) Click on the "Start" button on the Taskbar.
2) Click on "Settings."
3) Click on "Control Panel."
4) Double click on the "Multimedia" icon.
5) Select the tab key marked "Advanced."
6) Double-click on the item marked "Audio Devices."
7) Select the item "Audio for Turtle Beach Multisound..."
8) Click on "Properties."
9) Click on "Settings."
10) Note the I/O, DMA, and IRQ settings.
11) Now go back to the "Control Panel" (still active).
12) Double click on the "System" icon.
13) Select the "Device Manager" tab.
14) Double-click on "Computer." 
15) For each of the radio buttons, (IRQ, DMA, and I/O), the 	Multisound settings should say.. "In use by an unknown 	device."  If this is not the case, you will need to reserve the 	settings that the Multisound is on by using the "Reserve 	Resources" tab dialog.  The only setting you should have to 	reserve for the Multisound is the IRQ.  If you are using
	the default settings, add '10' to the list of reserved IRQ's.
16) Click on OK and a dialog box will appear asking if you wish to 	restart your computer.  Check yes.
17) Go back into the device manager, and verify that the settings have 	been excluded.

2.0 DOWNLOADING THE MULTISOUND .INF INSTALL FROM THE BBS

* The Multisound install can be found in the WIN95 group of the File section of the Beachcomber BBS.  The name of the files is "MSND95.ZIP."  The phone numbers for the Beachcomber are (717) 767-0250 and (717) 767-5934.  When logging onto the BBS for the first time, you will be asked to register, which includes assigning yourself a BBS password.  If you are prompted that your password is not valid, someone may have already registered with that name.  Please try logging in with a new name. 
	The file can also be found on Compuserve using the keyword "GO TURTLE."
