Installing a new sound card

If you install a new sound card into your system after you have installed the game, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the game in order to get it to properly recognize the new hardware. Be sure to uninstall using the uninstaller, other methods of deleting the game are not recommended.

Be sure you are using a 100% DirectX 7.0a-compatible sound card and driver capable of playing 16-bit digital audio. Sometimes Windows 95 fails to recognize your peripheral. If this happens, please consult your Windows 95 manual.

Some sound cards are advertised as 16-bit sound cards, while not really being capable of playing 16-bit sound. Many of these cards go into a 16-bit bus slot on your motherboard, yet only emulate Sound Blaster or Sound Blaster Pro 8-bit sound. Should you experience problems with your sound card, you may wish to review the documentation that came with it to verify that the card has 16-bit playback capability.

Through our testing, we have found that many of the combination sound/modem cards that come in many consumer model PC's are not capable of playing back 16-bit digital audio. Please consult the manufacturer of your PC for more information.
