5.  D r i v e r   I n s t a l l a t i o n

    a.  Windows 3.1x

    	1. Turn on the computer and start MS-Win3.1x. Remove all previously
    	installed sound card drivers. Make sure that all references to
    	these drivers are removed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS and
    	SYSTEM.INI files.

	2. Switch off the computer and remove all other sound cards.

	3. Insert the AD1815/16 sound card firmly in an available ISA bus
   	expansion slot and close the computer. Connect a speaker pair
   	to the Line_Out or Speaker connector on the sound card's face plate.

	4. Turn on the computer, and start MS-Win3.1x. In the PROGRAM MANAGER,
   	select File|Run. Insert the driver installation diskette in the
   	A: drive, and type A:INSTALL.EXE. Click on OK, and follow
   	the instructions.

   	The installation program reads the first line of a file named DEVICE.DEF
   	for the device description.  Install looks for the string ADSxxxx so that
   	the correct configuration dialogs are displayed. If the installation is
   	for an AD1816 with external EEPROM the other lines (IO1, DEF_1, etc)
   	contain the available I/O addresses, interrupts and D.M.A. channels
   	supported, as well as the default selections. If no I/O address is
   	given then it is assumed that the extra logical device is not in use.
   	Please separate all numbers in the sequence with spaces. Also, I/O
   	addresses are assumed to be hex, interrupt and D.M.A. are decimal.

	The following are the strings defined for the different devices that
   	the install program can support.

   	ADS1815 == AD1815

   	ADS1816 == AD1816(A) without MODEM logical device

    	ADS7180 == AD1816(A) with MODEM logical device (displays COM port info)

   	ADS7185 == AD1816A with Super logical device

   	The line specifying the target device (AD1815, AD1816) must be the first
   	line in the file. If an AD1815 or an AD1816 with no external eeprom is being
   	installed, the first line in the device.def file should be either ADS1815
   	(for the AD1815) or ADS1816 (for the AD1816).

   	An example file specifying an AD1816 with an extra logical device is as
   	follows (AD1816, no Modem, 1 extra logical dev)::
   	ADS1816
   	VID ADS7180
   	NAME My Logical Device
   	IO1 300 308 310 318 3A0 3A8
   	DEF_1 300
   	IO1_R 8
   	IO2
   	DEF_2
   	IO2_R
   	IRQ_1
   	DEF_I1
   	IRQ_2
   	DEF_I2
   	DMA
   	DEF_D
	
   	------ DEVICE.DEF template
   	ADS1816
   	NAME
   	IO1
   	DEF_1
   	IO1_R
   	IO2
   	DEF_2
   	IO2_R
   	IRQ_1
   	DEF_I1
   	IRQ_2
   	DEF_I2
   	DMA
   	DEF_D
   	------

	Once the computer has rebooted, start MS-Win3.1x and install the
	Willow Pond MediaRack according to the instructions below.

    b.  DOS

	To install the files for DOS, copy all the files on the distribution
    	disk to a directory of your choice on your hard drive.

	The mixer utility is supplied in two versions.

	    1:  A TEXT ONLY  version (mix1816t.exe) is useful where it is
        	desirable to conserve conventional memory.
	    2:  A more user friendly GRAPHICAL  version (mix1816g.exe)
	        will require approximately 460k.

         Both programs are functionally identical and accept the same
	 command line switches. Please note that MIX1816G.EXE requires
         approximately 460K of conventional memory.  If this amount is
 	 not free, it will invoke the text version.

	 The SoundBlaster address is assumed to be at 220h, but there is no
	 default for the WSS port. This must be specified by the /WSS:nnn
	 switch. If this port is not specified, the 3D & MPU controls will
	 not function.

	 Type "mix1816t /HELP" to obtain a listing of valid switches.
	
	 These programs also share the same configuration file DOSMIXER.CFG.

    	 The functionality of the I2S ports and the external control circuits
    	 are controlled by the xctl0Funct, xctl1Funct, I2S0Mode and I2S1Mode
    	 variables. Read the related note at the end of the configuration file,
    	 named DOSMIXER.CFG.

     	 The configuration utility, named AD1815_6.exe , is a text only
    	 program used to redefine resource allocations that set the AD1816
    	 in the operating system. To change the default choices provided
    	 by ADI, refer to the list of options, type

                ad1815_6 /H

    	The mixer is used to control playback volumes for application with
   	DOS games. You should use MIX1816G.EXE (GUI version) or MIX1816T.EXE
   	 (command line text version) to set the playback volume to
   	 a desired level before starting a DOS game. The following volume
   	 controls are provided:

	    1. Master volume control
	    2. LineOut volume control
	    3. FM (OPL3) volume control
	    4. Wavetable (Aux2) volume control


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.  Wi l l o w   P o n d   M e d i a R a c k   I n s t a l l a t i o n

1. Start MS-Win3.1x, if it is not already running. In Program Manager,
    select File|Run.

2. Insert the diskette with the Willow Pond MediaRack installation files
    in floppy drive A:. Type A:\MRACK\SETUP.EXE, and hit Return.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: Refer to the AD1815/16 user's manual for detailed instructions on
the operation and customization of the MediaRack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. R e s o u r c e    Co n f i g u r a t i o n    U n d e r    M S - W i n 3 . 1

The INSTALL.EXE utility also installs a resource configuration utility under
MS-Win3.1x for reconfiguration of the I/O base addresses, IRQs and DMAs of
the various devices on the AD1815/16. This RESOURCE CONFIGURATION utility is
installed with a program group called AD1815/16 SOUNDPORT. You can use this
utility to setup the resources for the:

1. Windows Sound System Codec
2. SoundBlaster codec
3. MPU-401 driver
4. Gameport/Joystick driver
5. OPL3 (FM) synthesizer
7. Extra logical devices (only functional on the AD1816A SoundPort
   Controller)

These resources, except for the IDE CD-ROM controller, can also be
setup through the Willow Pond driver SETUP utility from the CONTROL
PANEL|DRIVER configuration panel. The Willow Pond driver SETUP
utility allows in addition the configuration of:

1. 3D sound
2. I2S input formats

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.  C U S T O M I Z A T I O N   O F   M I X E R.

The AD1815/6 driver supports user customizable Mixer definitions.
The file WPUNIMIX.INI contains the names of all controls 
defined for the AD1815/6 driver. Using this tool, it is possible to
reduce the number of controls displayed by the mixer.
Modifications can be made to the display states of all the mixer's 
sources, destinations and controls.

Any of three properties for each control can be changed. These
three properties are of the form:

<short-name>ShortName=Volume
<short-name>LongName=Stereo Mix Volume
<short-name>Disable=1

Where <short-name> is the "original" short name for the line or control.

ShortName=Volume will appear on the Mediarack application software 
LongName=Volume will appear on the Win 95 mixer application software 
 
For example, if you wanted to rename the "Aux1 Volume" control to 
refer to the Internal CD play connection, make the following changes
to the WPUNIMIX.INI file.

Volume ControlShortName=IntCD 
Volume ControlLong=Computers Internal CD   

if you wanted to remove a control from the Mixer, the following
example shows how that is accomplished:
 
Modem VolumeDisable=1
 
A suggested wpunimix.ini file is enclosed in this release disk. 
you can customize it using the instructions above.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.  P l a y i n g   D O S   g a m e s

Important:

Playing DOS games in an MS-Win3.1x DOS box can sometimes be problematic.
To get around this, follow the instructions below:

1. Exit from MS-Win3.1x

3. Invoke MIX1816G.EXE or MIX1816T.EXE to set volume levels appropriately

4. Run the DOS game.
