To get back to the original subject of this thread, 2.6 kHz *must* be
wrong, they just can't get good sound at that sampling frequency, and
the sound *is* good.

My -2 cents.

Subject: Audio cable problem SBPRO & NEC 84
Organization: Oakland University, Rochester MI.
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 11:07:49 GMT


I called NEC on Friday to obtain their audio cable so that I can connect
my SB Pro to my NEC 84.  After about 5 minutes with the gal in the sapre
parts department, she finally understood what I was looking for.  She
then stated that they had a cable for a PAS, but not the SB Pro.
However, they were developing one and would have tech support give me a
call.

Later that night, tech support did call  (at least I give them good
marks for follow-up) stating that it would be quite some time before NEC
would be shipping this part since they are having difficulties getting
Creative to detail their pin-outs.  (I doubt this is the real reason)
They then recommended that I take the headphone out and route it to the
line in on the SB Pro.  I consider this quite a kludge!

Has anyone built such a cable for this combination?  If so, would you
forward the pin-outs and connector part numbers?

thanks,

bob

Subject: Resolved: SB Pro/Packard Bell Mouse Problem
Organization: McGill University Systems Inc (MUSIC/SP)
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 14:53:26 GMT

Hi all,

   Just a note to say that I finally resolved my mouse problem, and
to indicate what the resolution was so that others can be aware of it.

   The conflict was with my modem (on COM2) and the mouse - changing the
modem address to COM1 (involving switching jumpers on the board) seems
to have fixed the mouse problem. The confirmation of the problem came
when my software (PC AnyWhere) complained about some other device
using the comm port. When I changed the address, the mouse situation
seemed much better, if not totally fixed.
   I had changed the modem address to COM2 when I was testing an
external modem with my internal modem board still installed. When I
swapped internal boards later, it seemed easier to flip the addresses
to correspond to the software configuration - hah!

   In fiddling with this, I've noticed that LPT1: is on IRQ line 7 -
this may also be a problem and can be fixed by switching jumpers on
the Packard Bell motherboard. I can switch it to LPT2 at IRQ 5.
I MIGHT wind up do this as well, if the mouse seems to be a touch
sticky (nothing like it was, mind you) or if I have trouble printing
with music in progress. However, I've left the motherboard as it is
using the factory defaults. The only change I made to the
soundboard, as it didn't seem to be harmful, was to enable DMA
shared access. I haven't noticed either a benefit or a problem with
this.

   I should also add that Creative Labs was not very helpful with this.
The person that I spoke to there seemed either to have a hearing problem
or some lack of understanding. If I had been aware of the support level
that I'd be buying into BEFORE I bought, I might well have bought
something else. I'm not pleased.

I'm testing a PAS16; when I record .VOC files using SB based software, like
BlasterMaster or Voxkit, the "zero" (no input) value is typically about 63-64
hex (99-100 dec) rather than 7F-80 hex (127-128 dec).  These files will play
OK, of course - tho with initial click, and wasting DC offset powering the
speakers.  Some folks may have recorded and played back such files without
noticing.  But for editing, arrgh!  Amplifying the signal of course also
amplifies the offset, causing clipping against the 0 rail soon.

What's up?  Can this be fixed, or is the PAS-16 just not SB compatible enough
for sampling ADC input?

 Well, install seemed to go smoothly on the 4th try.  When I was prompted
 to take out the floppy disk and press return for re-boot the computer
 gave me the start up screen and gave me a mouse cursor and then the 
 hard-drive would keep trying to access something continuouly forever.
 This time it did not give me any error.  You might be right about the
 ram though.  I have 4 mb of Siemens ram (simm) in one bank and
 4mb of Goldstar ram (simm) in another bank, both are 70ns.  I was talking
 to someone else and they were also saying that the ram had to be the same
 speed, which they are.  

 I tried the alt shift f1 key tosee what was going on it told me to
 to try chkdsk.  I have tried this using the install disks then ESC to
 the prompt, however it said it could not read my hpfs partition.  I 
Set up the partition's using DOS floppy and the DOS fdisk.

Should I fdisk the hard-drives from the install and then install from there.

My BIOS is current, 1991.

Please help me I really want to give OS/2 a fair try.  I think it has
great potential.  I gave up windows programming so I could program in
OS/2.  I really hope that t succeeds.
 
 My HD card is a WD 1006v, a RLL controller
 my disk is a Seagate ST-277R.  I don't know what kind of
 IO card I have.  My video card is a ATI Wonder with 512K of

 Thanks.

The only difference between SB 1.0 and SB 1.5 is the fact that 1.5 doesn't
have the CMS chips built in.  CMS chips are needed for Gameblaster compatbility,
but no games now support Gameblaster (an old standard that tried to compete
with AdLib's original FM).  Other than that, it's the same hardware.  1.5 also
comes with some other software like Dr. Sbaitso and SBTalker, programs that
didn't come with SB 1.0 -- therefore, the Spectrum Holobyte support person you
talked to doesn't know what he/she was talking about.  Btw, the PAS-16 is
SB 1.5 compatible (though Links 386 Pro tells me that my PAS-16 is a SB 2.0).

I would think that a method for implementing this in a regular MIDI
sequencer would be a set of GUS sysex messages for patch management.
This could be implemented either as a device driver (which could be
written by any avid driver programmers out there, hint hint), or a
GUS chipset upgrade (which would have to be supplied by Gravis, of
course).  Just an idea...

A fren in the states is trying to get it for me and this will help us

Can someone email me on how much they got their GUS for and where they

Fellow netters,

I have recently ordered a 486sx-25 with 4MB and an 85 MB HD.  I would like to
get a cheap soundcard for use basically in games, etc.  I have absolutely no
knowledge of soundboards except that I know that Soundblaster seems to be
pretty popular.  I ran across an ad in Computer Shopper for an "Ad-Lib
compatible sound card" for $40 and was wondering if this would be good enough
for my purposes.  It definitely fits the price criteria!  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Actually IBM did come out with a sound card!  I don't know how long ago, but
I do know that it was out before the AdLib card and is still in limited use
today.  It's called the PC Music Feature if I remember correctly.....
They also sell DigiSpeech adapters for their computers (usually for use
in schools for educational software).

There's a great soundkit out there called the John Miles Soundkit, and it
allows you to support many different soundcards in this one package.  It takes
care of all the drivers, so you really don't have to worry about it.  Among
those supported include SB, SB Pro (both versions), PAS, PAS +/16, AdLib Gold,
and many others.  I'm not sure, but the latest version of the kit may also
support the GUS.  I don't know how much this kit goes for, but many commercial
game developers use it, including Interplay (BC4000) & Microprose (Rex Neb).
Each card is supported in it's native mode, so if the card is stereo, you can
get stereo output.

I wonder who will be the first to come out with a 4-speaker deal?  And
will it be popular enough to sustain the product's survival?  I have tried
using 2 Sound Blaster Pro's in the same machine, both cards works fine
but only one at a time (one using DMA 1 and the other using DMA 3).
If both can be working at the same time (and I don't see why not), wonder
if any game companies will be brave enough to try it (maybe WOLF3D)? 

But then the wiring will be kind of clumpsy, with at least one wire going
from front of your chair to the back of your chair, etc.  With the price
of SB Pro so low today ($129), I think it is quite reasonable to have two.
But will any game support this format?

FWIW - I had a similar problem with Ultima Underworld - music but no

Hello all...I have an interesting question:  I have a GUS and I love it.
I am awaiting the new packages to be bundled with the GUS to start playing
with making my own music.  My question is this:  I don't have a MIDI controller
(a keyboard) and do not have the $$$ to get one.  However, I have played with
the KBMIDI program and it provides a decent way to input MIDI data to a
program.  Is there any way that I can actually record the MIDI data that
KBMIDI poroduces into the MIDI sequencer I would be running?

Thanks...
