The default is 'NO SOUND', you can change this by running SETUP.EXE. You can move around the menus by using the arrow keys and pressing (ENTER) on your selection. Choosing INSTALL will save the current configuration. Once you have selected a sound card for use with your game, you must specify the settings for it. Some cards require more settings then others. For help on these settings, consult your sound cards manual. Some of these settings include Base (IO), DMA, IRQ. You can also check for your sound card configuration by typing: SET (ENTER) at the dos prompt or in a MSDOS box. A sample output might display: SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1 This is the configuration for a sound blaster card set at Base 220h, Interrupt 7h, and DMA 1. Choose these values in the SETUP program. MegaMotion requires you to enter a playback rate (Select kHz) for digital music . This rate indicates the quality of music and sound effects you would like to hear. The higher the rate, the higher the quality of music. If you have a slow computer, you should select a low rate to avoid game problems. You can also type in the rate manually by selecting USER DEFINED. Gravis Ultrasound music will always play at a rate of 41000kHz, regardless of computer speed. This does not create any problems. To change any of these settings again, simply run SETUP.EXE, choose your new options, and then select INSTALL from the main menu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troubleshooting ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure that you have consulted SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS to avoid system problems.
