nstallation and Configuration of Software
for the Sound Blaster Live! and 512 Sound Cards
 under the OS/2 Operating System
Copyright Jason R Stefanovich, 2001
        This document covers the steps needed to install and configure
the drivers and software which support the Creative Labs Sound Blaster
Live! and Sound Blaster 512 under the OS/2 operating system.
The method described in this document is designed for a typical
installation on OS/2 Warp 4 (Merlin)
or later.  It is by no means a comprehensive description of the myriad
ways this software can be installed but aims to provide the user with a
simple and quick path to functionality.  Use of the RTMIDI system and
external MIDI synthesizers is specifically excluded.  As always,
documentation for each package should be reviewed before installation.
        Currently, there are eight separate packages that need to be
downloaded and installed to fully utilize these cards.  Once these
packages are installed and correctly configured, the user will have
access to nearly all the functionality of the card.  Notably, support
for
sound under DOS sessions is still lacking although John Gow has stated
that he is working on adding this into the Generic Win-OS/2 Audio
Driver.

2.  Make backup copies of the following files:
X:\CONFIG.SYS
X:\MMOS2\MMPM2.INI
X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI
X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\MIDIMAP.CFG
X:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAMS\PLUGINS\NPOS2MID.DLL
X:\MMOS2\GAMEDD.SYS
X:\MMOS2\GAMEVDD.SYS
3.  Reboot the system and enter into the BIOS configuration menu.  If
the
system BIOS contains a "PnP OS" parameter, set it to "OFF" and reboot
the
system (terminology may differ depending on BIOS).
4.  Open the X:\Config.sys file in a text editor and REM out all
references to previous sound card drivers.  Append the line "SET
TIMIDITYDIR=X:\TIMIDITY" to the end of the file.  Add  ";X:\EMX\BIN" to
the PATH and ";X:\EMX\DLL" to the LIBPATH. (skip this step if the emx
runtime is already installed)
5.  Unzip the EMX runtime archive to X:\EMX. (skip this step if the emx
runtime is already installed)
6.  Unzip the MMPack  and run the INSTALL.CMD script from the MMCheck
directory.  Open the newly created MM Pack folder on the desktop and run
the MM Check program.  If any errors are displayed refer to the MM Check
Documentation and attempt to resolve the problem.
7.  Go to the X:\MMOS2 directory and open up the MMPM2.INI file with an
INI or text editor.
Remove all statements referring to previous sound cards.
8.  Run the MM Check program again.  Repeat steps 5 and 6 until no
errors
are detected.
9.  Unzip the SBLive driver and run the INSTALL.CMD script.  Select
"SoundBlaster Live! Wave Audio"
and "1" for the number of devices.  After installation is complete,
reboot the system
10.  During the reboot process, note the address in the statement " SB
Live! joystick at :" reported
by the SB Live driver.  Save this information for later.
11.  Wave output/input should now be enabled in PM and VIO sessions.  If
this is not the case, recheck
steps 2 through 9 and ensure that all hardware is properly installed and
connected.
12.  Unzip the Timidity MCD archive to X:\TIMIDITY.  Unzip the Dgguspat
archive to X:\TIMIDITY\PATCH.
13.   Open the file X:\TIMIDITY\TIMIDITY.CFG with a text editor.
Replace
the line
"# dir /usr/local/lib/timidity" with "dir /timidiy".  Append the lines
"dir x:\timidity\patch" and
"source default.cfg" to the end of the file.
14.  Copy the file X:\TIMIDITY\NPOS2MID.DLL to
X:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAMS\PLUGINS,
overwriting the existing file.
15.  Open an OS/2 VIO window and go to the X:\TIMIDITY directory.  Run
"minstall" from the command prompt.  Step through the Multimedia
Application Install.  After the installation, reboot the system.
16.  Open the Multimedia Setup object and select the new TiMidity tab.
Check the "Default Sequencer device" box.  Go to the second TiMidity
page
and ensure that the association extentions "MOD" and "MID"
exist.  Close the Multimedia Setup object and reboot the system.
17.  TiMidity should now be the default sequencer for the system.  MIDI
files can be tested by running the MID files in X:\TIMIDITY\MIDI.  If
the
files do not play, or do not play correctly, open the Multimedia
Setup object and ensure there are no other devices associated with the
MOD and MID file types.  Check all hardware connections and ensure that
steps 11 through 15 have been followed correctly.  Note:  After
installation of TiMidity, MMCheck will always detect an error on the
sequencer name in the MMPM2.INI file.
18.   Unzip the Generic Win-OS/2 Audio Driver archive.
19.  From the \BIN subdirectory copy the files GENAUDD.EXE, VGENAUD.SYS,
GWDTA.STS, GWACFG.EXE and GWACFG.HLP to the X:\MMOS2 directory.
20.  From the \BIN subdirectory copy the files OS2WAVE.DRV,  OS2MIDI.DRV
and MIDIMAP.CFG to the X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory.
21.  From the .\ and \DOC subdirectorys copy the files README.TXT,
MANUAL.INF, BETANOTE.INF and BUGREP.TXT to the X:\MMOS2\HELP directory.
Some files may have to be renamed.
21.  Open the file X:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.INI with a text editor.
Find the section labeled "[Drivers]".  If there are lines beginning with
"WAVE=" and "MIDI=" comment them out by placing a semicolon in front of
them.  Add the lines "WAVE=os2wave.drv" and "MIDI=os2midi.drv".
22.  Open the OS/2 System -> System Setup -> Win-OS/2 Setup notebook.
Click on the "Win-OS/2 settings..." button.  Select "DOS memory
settings"
and then click Ok.  Select EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT and set the slider to zero.
Click on Save and then close the Win-OS/2 Setup.  Reboot the system.
23.  Wave and MIDI should now be available in WIN-OS/2 sessions.  The
"ta-da" wave file should be heard when opening a WIN-OS/2 session.  If
the sound does not play, check to esure that sounds are turned on in the
WIN-OS/2 control panel and ensure steps 18 through 22 have been followed
correctly.
24.  Unzip the LBMix archive into a separate temporary directory.  Open
the file folder object for the directory and double click on the
LBMIX.WPI object to begin installation, continue with the PIPEMIX.WPI
object.
25.  Unzip the Joy Driver archive in the X:\MMOS2 directory.
26.  Open the X:\CONFIG.SYS file with a text editor.  Add or update the
lines "DEVICE=X:\MMOS2\GAMEDD.SYS /P:ZZZ" and
"DEVICE=X:\MMOS2\GAMEVDD.SYS".
(where ZZZ is the port address reported previously by the SBLive
driver).
Reboot the system.
27.  The system should now have full access to sound in all sessions
except DOS.  Joystick access should be available in all sessions.  Save
all archives downloaded and all backup files.  Delete all temporary
files
created durring installation.
28.  Enjoy!!
