Subject: Anyone using a GUS board on an EISA machine?
Organization: UCLA Dept of Astronomy
Date: 11 Dec 92 14:31:58 PST

I would like to hear from anyone who is successfully using a GUS board
on an EISA machine.

Here's the scoop. A friend of mine recently got a GUS and a game
called Star Control II. He says the board sounds great but it won't
work correctly on his system with this game. After some time on the
phone he found out there is a problem with the OPTI chipset in his 486
ISA machine. One solution is to upgrade his system to an EISA
motherboard.

Any comments would be appreciated. I don't read this group often, so
please send mail to my account.

Thank you.

Stephen

Do you have your MIDI IRQ set at a recognizable SB interrupt (i.e. 2 to 7)?
Obvious question, I know, but just in case...

I have the CDROM version of Carmen.  It sounds GREAT.  I mean it doesn't
just work with SBOS, but it's one of those games that really sound good
with it.  But on the CD version, alot of the sound is digitized I think.

I think it should be:

@echo off
sbosdrv
lh loadsbos %1 %2 %3 %4

	LOADSBOS is the program that will stay in memory.  Maybe I'm wrong, 
but that's what UBAT writes when I create a batch file with high memory

I've got those chips in my no-name 486/33 motherboard, and I tested it
with a lended GUS. It had The Famous SetUp Program Problem (i.e. after
the 'Let's configure your UltraSound Card' it threw up a QEMM exception
#13, or without QEMM, a warm boot), but with the new setup program,
everything worked okay, no problems with SBOS etc. Haven't tried with
Star Control II, though. DMA's 4-7 worked also.

No, they're not out yet. The work of making these pathces is done by a third 
company (not Gravis or Forte) and nobody seems to know when they will be out.

Does anyone know if the GUS can be used now, or will soon be able to be
used as a synth module?  For example using a DOS program that looks for
a synth hooked up to an MPU midi card?  Since the midi ports wouldnt
necessarily be needed for this, wouldn't it be possible to run
some sort of emulation software first?

	The GUS has 32 'mono' voices that you can put to the right _or_ to 
the left.  Those channels are not pannable.  The 16 stereo channels can be 
panned right or left in _15_ different positions.  Now, that's stereo.  You 
can move the voice to the left or the right with the same channel.

From the specs you mention here, the SB Pro is right out, since it is 
an 8-bit board with a non-SCSI CD-ROM interface. 

The GUS has all these features, some of them in available (SCSI) or soon-to-
be-available daughterboards (16-bit sampling).

Well, if the 32 voices can only be either left or either right then
couldn't panning still be simulated with the use of 1 voice?

example.
use one voice on the left side.
gradually decrease the volume until you can't hear it.
change that voice to the right side
gradually increase the volume

Actually forget what I said.  I suppose it's not the same since what I
just explained is actually just switching from the left to right side.
It's not the same as panning where the right side would increase in
volume as the left side decreased.

That's probably because *.tar.Z files have nothing to do with binhex and
stuffing.  They are Unix-compressed files.  First tarred, and then 
compressed.  To undo it, first 'uncompress' then 'tar -xvf'.  Where to
get the uncompress and tar?  Any simtel20 mirror (wuarchive.wustl.edu),
(oak.oakland.edu) in msdos/dskutl or msdos/compress OR ftp to info.umd.edu
and look in info/Computers/PC/UNIX/tar.zip and same path/compress.zip.

Hmm.... which Trident chipset? I've got the 8900C and it works okay with my

I have a thunder board too, with the drivers.  I still use the SB driver and
the AdLib driver that comes with Windows.  They both work just fine.

It depends on what you want to hear, synthesized music or digitized audio.
The AdLib or synthesized music would be better than that same music digitized.
However, the digitized audio or Sound Blaster option is better for sound
effects like explosions and short spoken phrases.

Hello all GUS owners,

After reading how GUS sounds so much better than any of the currently
available sound cards.  Also the incompatibility between the OPTi chip
set and GUS.  I had a Sound Blaster in my 486, 33MHz machine, the mother
board has OPTi chips.  Later I brought a SBPro to upgrade my SB, 
and it turned out the SBPro had a lot of noise.
I finally returned the SBPro and continued to use the SB.  Now the
question - What are the chances that the GUS will work on my mother
board?

Any comments will be appreciated!!

Errm.. try configuring the midi library ;-)

Select Midi->Configure (alt-m o) This gives you a dialogue box
entitled 'MIDI Configure'. If you have installed the Ultrasound midi
driver in Windows properly (and I presume you have, since Media
PLayer knows about it), then you should have 'Ultrasound Synth' or
some such listed as a choice for 'Available output ports'. Select it,
click on 'Add', then on 'OK'.  You then should be able to play the
tune...

Note that you need to have played the song first with Media PLayer to
get the GUS to load up the instrument patches. Also, you won't be able
to get Media Player to work if Winjammer 'owns' the MIDI synth. It's a 
mite fiddly...

I just upgraded to a 40 mhz 386 with a 128 cache.  My problem is that the

Soundblaster Pro won't produce sound effects as long as the cache is enabled.

I have been told by Creative Labs AND someone who responded to a previous

posting that I need to mess with some setting for the bus in my AMI Bios

setup, but there are NOT such settings.  A previous board I had had some

settings like that... but not this one.  I realize now that there isn't really

anything I can do to fix this problem.   My question is...  Has anyone else

had a similar problem?  And also, I'm wondering if I might have better luck
    
the Pro Audio Spectrum or Pro Audio Spectrum 16....
