701 Audio Gotcha's:
Windows 3.1x:
There is an [auddrive.drv] section in the system.ini file that stores Audio settings for Windows. These settings will override the BIOS settings.
Windows 95:
Changing the ESS688 device properties in Device Manager will override the BIOS settings.
OS/2 Warp:
In the config.sys is a line that reads: DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\ES688DD.SYS /B220 /D1 /I7 /N:ES6881$.
/B is the Port Address and cannot be altered.
/D is the DMA.
/I is the Interrupt.
These parameters will override the BIOS settings.
