Aptiva - Testing each Mwave driver on Windows 95 machines
Applicable to: World-Wide
Preparation:
1. Be sure to have restarted the computer and observe any errors. Write any errors down, and troubleshoot these errors first.
2. Check along the bottom of the screen if any other multimedia programs which may have been located in the Startup Group are running. If there are, end them.
3. Launch AudioStation by Double Clicking the Aptiva Entertainment Group.
Then, double click the Music Center icon.
Then, double click the Audio Station icon.
...AudioStation will launch.
Note any errors that appear. Trouble shoot any error messages that appear before proceeding further into these diagnostics.
4. Look for the mixer. This is usually the first device on the AudioStation stack.
Make sure that the Mode on the Mixer is selected to Play. (If you do not see a red light by something that says "Record" on the Mixer everything is set correctly.)
5. Look to see that the CD button has a green light in it. If not, click the button and a green indicator light should appear.
6. Raise all the slider controls to the top-most position.
7. Make sure that each of the mute buttons (at the bottom of the slider controls) is not muted. If the letter "M" is black, the mute is set correctly for diagnostics. If the letter "M" is white the settings are incorrect for diagnostics.
Testing Individual Types of Audio-
CD-ROM:
1. Insert an Audio CD.
2. Wait for the CD ROM light to go out.
3. Press Play. The CD ROM Should show seconds counting by. You should also hear audio.
If no audio is heard, note that CD-ROM audio failed and wait till testing MIDI and WAV sound before determining why no sound is heard here.
MIDI:
1. Press the Play button on the MIDI Player. The MIDI Player is the device which has an indicator with "01" and "SONG" as well as green numbers (1 through 16 ) across the device. The numbers should begin changing. Sound should be heard.
If no audio is heard, note that MIDI Audio failed and wait till testing WAV sound before determining why no sound is heard here.
WAV:
1. Locate the WAV audio Player. This player is a device that has in green letters "Right" and "Left" in a black box to the right side of the screen.
2. Click the > button beneath the black box that has "Right" and "Left" inside it.
3. A sound should be heard.
If no sound is heard, note that WAV sound has failed.
