Sound Source Driver for Windows 3.1 and Multimedia Windows ---------------------------------------------------------- SNDSRC.DRV is a Windows WAVE driver. It requires either: 1) Windows 3.1 or 2) Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions. Notes: This driver works well in Standard mode with nearly any computer and in Enhanced mode with a 25 MHz 386 or faster processor. Using this driver in Enhanced mode with a slower computer may cause your system to slow down while WAVE sounds are playing and the sound quality will suffer. Sounds recorded at 5.5 KHz cannot be played since the Sound Source operates at 7 KHz. Sounds recorded at 7.3 KHz - 44.1 KHz can be played, but the higher sampling rates may lose a little quality. This driver uses a printer port to play sounds. If a sound is playing, the printer port will be unavailable until the sound has finished playing. If the Print Manager (or some other application) is using the port, the Sound Source driver will NOT play the sound.

Accordingly we are not asking you to pay for it. We do ask that if you use this software you also buy Intermission 3.0, the best screen saver for Windows. This driver may be distributed freely so long as: 1) All files are included: SNDSRC.DRV, OEMSETUP.INF and SNDSRC.TXT. 2) No money is charged for this driver other than BBS or disk fees. Not more than $5.00 may be charged for disk fees. Instructions for use: --------------------- 1) Copy SNDSRC.DRV and OEMSETUP.INF to a floppy disk or temporary subdirectory on your hard drive. 2) Run the Windows Control Panel. (Usually in the "Main" group.) Double click the "Drivers" Icon. 3) Click the [Add...] button in the "Drivers" dialog box. 4) Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver" in the list box labeled "List of Drivers" and click the [OK] button. 5) Type the path to the directory containing SNDSRC.DRV and OEMSETUP.INF in the edit field and click the [OK] button. 6) Hilight the "Disney Sound Source wave driver" item in the list box and click the [OK] button. 7) You will see a dialog titled "Sound Source Setup". Select the port your Sound Source is connected to in the group of radio buttons titled "Port". Select "Speaker always on" if the Sound Source is connected to a port not used for printing and you are not running the Sound Source on battery power. Selecting "Speaker always on" keeps the Sound Source from making nasty clicking noises when sounds start playing but it also makes it impossible to print from the port the Sound Source is connected to. Click the [OK] button when you're done with setup. 8) Click the [Close] button in the "Drivers" dialog. 9) Restart Windows. Note: You should probably also install the [MCI] Sound Driver for complete functionality with all Multimedia Windows applications. For instructions, please see your Windows User's Guide.
