SYMPTOMS
========
When you install The Lion King version 1.0 on a computer that has an ESS 488
sound card and is running Windows 95, you may receive the following error
message:
The ESS AudioDrive hardware is not responding properly. Sound playback and
recording will not be available.
CAUSE
=====
There is an incompatibility between the ESS 488 16-bit driver and the 16- bit
file architecture that The Lion King employs. Although Windows Audio Compression
Manager is capable of translating 16-bit files and playing them correctly, The
Lion King does not recognize the translation and incorrectly states that the
sound card is not responding properly.
RESOLUTION
==========
Contact the manufacturer for an upgrade of The Lion King.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This problem does not occur if The Lion King version 1.0 is installed in Windows
version 3.x, and then later upgraded to Windows 95.
