III. Installing the drivers
---------------------------

  Note: If your card does not have the Advanced Signal Processing chip,
        skip steps 2-4.

   1. Copy all W*.ACV files to your \SB16\ACV\ sub-directory.  (If you do
      not have a \SB16\ACV\ directory, make one with the command:
      'md c:\sb16\acv [enter]'

   2. Copy all W*.CSP files to your \SB16\CSP\ sub-directory.  (If you do
      not have a \SB16\CSP\ directory, make one with the command:
      'md c:\sb16\csp [enter]'

   3. Copy the CSP.SYS file to your \SB16\DRV\ sub-directory

   4. Check your CONFIG.SYS to make sure you have the following line:
      DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CSP.SYS

   5. Start Windows v3.1.
   
   6. Open the Control Panel and select the Drivers icon.

   7. At a minimum, you should have the following driver names in the
      Installed Drivers list:

	    MIDI Mapper
	    Timer
	    [MCI] CD Audio
	    [MCI] MIDI Sequencer
	    [MCI] Sound

      If you have any Sound Blaster or Adlib drivers installed (other than the
      ones listed above), please remove them with the REMOVE button and restart
      Windows before continuing.  If any of these drivers are not listed,
      please add them before continuing.  (See your Windows manual for details
      on adding these drivers.)  Make sure you restart Windows after making
      changes to the driver list.

   8. Click on the ADD button.

   9. Select Unlisted or Updated driver and click on OK.

  10. Insert the floppy containing the drivers.

  11. Type in the drive letter of the floppy drive containing the driver disk.

  12. Select Creative Sound Blaster Auxiliary Audio and click on OK.

  13. Windows will prompt you for the Sound Blaster I/O address.  The default
      I/O address is 220H.  If you have changed the jumper on your card to
      240H, 260H, or 280H, then select the one you changed.

  14. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system.  Click on
      DON'T RESTART, then repeat steps 8, 9, 10, and 11.

  WARNING! - Steps 15 and 16 will OVERWRITE your existing MIDIMAP.CFG
	     configuration.  If you want to keep your existing configuration,
	     click on CANCEL and make a copy of MIDIMAP.CFG before continuing
	     the installation process.

  15. Select Voyetra / Sound Blaster SuperSAPI FM Driver and click on OK.

  16. Windows will ask if you want to use the current SB16FM.DRV
      or install the new SB16FM.DRV - Select NEW and continue on.

  17. Windows will prompt you for the Sound Blaster I/O address.
      Repeat the instructions in step 13.

  18. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system.  Click on
      DO NOT RESTART, then repeat steps 8, 9, 10, and 11.

  19. Select Creative Sound Blaster Wave and MIDI and click on OK.

  20. Windows will prompt you for the Sound Blaster Port address, MIDI address,
      Interrupt, and DMA channel. Choose the settings your card is set to and 
      continue on.

  21. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system.  Click on
      RESTART.  Windows will then restart.


IV. What to do if the drivers don't install correctly
-----------------------------------------------------

   If you are having problems installing the drivers, here are some things to
   check before you call Technical Support.  Also, be sure to read the
   "Important Notes" section below.

   1. Check the size and date of all the driver files in the Windows SYSTEM
      directory against the listing in the section "Diskette Contents".  Make
      sure that the correct drivers have been copied to your hard disk.

   2. Open the Driver applet in Control panel.  You should at least have the
      following driver names in the Installed Drivers list:

	    Creative Sound Blaster  Auxiliary Audio
	    Creative Sound Blaster  Wave and MIDI
	    MIDI Mapper
	    Timer
	    Voyetra / Sound Blaster SuperSAPI FM Driver
	    [MCI] CD Audio
	    [MCI] MIDI Sequencer
	    [MCI] Sound

      If one or more of these drivers do not exist, you must install the
      driver(s) using the Driver applet in Control Panel (See the Windows
      manual for more details).

   3. Check your SYSTEM.INI by choosing RUN from the File menu of the Program
      Manager, and typing SYSEDIT in the command line box.  Examine the
      [drivers] and [sndblst.drv] sections.  They should look something like
      this:

	      [drivers]
	      Timer=timer.drv
	      Midimapper=midimap.drv
	      Aux=sb16aux.drv
	      MIDI=sb16fm.drv
	      Wave=sb16snd.drv
	      MIDI1=sb16snd.drv

	      [sndblst.drv]
	      port=220
	      int=5
	      dmachannel=1
	      hdmachannel = 5
	      MIDIport = 330

   4. If Windows refuses to install a device driver or you get the error
      message "Device not found" when playing a Wave or MIDI file or a
      CD, be sure you have the following settings in the [mci] section of
      SYSTEM.INI

	      [mci]
	      WaveAudio=mciwave.drv
	      Sequencer=mciseq.drv
	      CDAudio=mcicda.drv

      If one or more of these do not exist, you must install the driver(s)
      using the Driver applet in Control Panel (See the Windows manual for
      instructions).  Do not type in the entries into the SYSTEM.INI because
      the files have to be installed into your SYSTEM directory by Windows.


V. If you upgraded from Windows 3.0 to Windows 3.1
--------------------------------------------------

   If you upgraded an existing copy of Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.0 with
   Multimedia Extensions to Windows 3.1, here are some special notes to
   consider.

   1. If you have lines which read "device=vsbd.386" or "device=vadlibd.386"
      in the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI, please delete them.  These are old
      drivers that have been replaced by VSBPD.386.  The new driver will not
      work correctly until these lines have been removed.

   2. Delete the file SBPMIXER.CPL in the Windows SYSTEM directory.  It is no
      longer being supported.  The new SBPMIXER.EXE is now used instead and is
      loaded automatically when you install the Sound Blaster drivers.

   3. After installing Windows 3.1, verify that the latest SB16WMIX.EXE,
      MMJBOX.EXE, SB16FM.DRV, SB16AUX.DRV and SB16SND.DRV have been copied to your
      hard disk.  Check the size and date of these files against the listing
      in the section "Diskette Contents".  You can delete any older versions
      that you find in your system.


VI. Important notes
-------------------
			  * * * * * * * * * * * * *
			  *   I M P O R T A N T   *
			  * * * * * * * * * * * * *

   1. The drivers found in the file CREATE.EXE on Microsoft's BBS and in the
      Microsoft Forum on CompuServe are not the latest drivers for Windows 3.1
      and may not work properly.  Please do not use them.

   2. The drivers that are included with the Windows 3.1 Resource Kit are not
      the lastest drivers and may not work properly.  Please do not use them.

   3. We are including drivers that make use of Device Virtualization.  These
      drivers will allow DOS Apps that use the Sound Blaster to run in Enhanced
      Mode.

      Please make sure that a line reading "device=vsbpd.386" exists under the
      [386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI.  If you have a line which reads
      "device=vsbd.386", please delete it.  Also, make sure the file VSBPD.386
      is in your Windows SYSTEM directory.  If it is not, copy it from the
      Drivers Disk.

   4. The Windows 3.1 drivers can now be used in both Windows 3.0 with
      Multimedia extensions as well as Windows 3.1.  They will check the
      Windows version and use the correct Sound Blaster section name to access
      the settings in the SYSTEM.INI.

   5. A MIDI-MAP has been created to make use of the SB16FM.DRV, please use the
      MIDI MAPPER icon under Control Panel to customize it to your requirements.

      Under Windows 3.1, MIDI channel 10 is referenced as the drum channel.
      If you are having problems with the FM synth not sounding "right", try
      modifying the configuration with the MIDI Mapper.

      The following is a list of the existing MIDI Map configurations and how
      they are mapped:
		 
		 Input    Output   Output              Input    Output   Output
      Map Name   Channel  Channel  Port     Map Name   Channel  Channel  Port
