- Microsoft Golf for Windows, version 1.0

SUMMARY
=======
When you are using the MediaVision 16-bit Pro-Audio sound card, Golf may appear
to stop responding (hang) when short sounds are being played.
The problem only occurs when sounds are enabled, and when drivers dated 11/06/92
or earlier are being used for the card.
The version 1.46 of the MediaVision drivers, corrects the problem. You can find
the latest drivers in the following places:
MediaVision BBS: (510) 770-0968 (WIN144.ZIP)
MediaVision technical support: (510) 770-9905
This problem does not occur using the 8-bit drivers provided with the card.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Further experimentation using the Microsoft Windows Media Player, narrows the
problem down to five waveform files: CHIP.WAV, PINHIT.WAV, PUTT.WAV,
SHORSWG.WAV, and SPLASH.WAV. When playing these files with the Media Player, the
files never stop, and remain playing indefinitely. This is what causes Golf to
appear to hang.
