Installation Instructions:
1. Start Windows v3.1.
2. Open the Control Panel and select the Drivers icon.
3. If you currently have SoundBlaster drivers installed, please remove
all of them with the REMOVE button and restart Windows before
continuing.
4. Click on the ADD button.
5. Select Unlisted or Updated driver and click on OK.
6. Insert the floppy containing the drivers.
7. Type in the drive letter of the floppy drive containing the driver disk.
WARNING! - The following steps 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.
8. Select SoundBlaster MIDI Synthesizer and click on OK.
9. Windows will ask if you want to use the current MIDIMAP.CFG or install
the new MIDIMAP.CFG - Select NEW and continue on.
10. Windows will prompt you for the SoundBlaster I/O address. The default
I/O address is 220H. If you have changed the jumper on your card to
240H, then select 240H.
11. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system. Click on
DON'T RESTART, then repeat steps 4, 5, 6, and 7.
12. Select SoundBlaster v1.5 or SoundBlaster v2.0 Wave and MIDI, depending
on which card you own (Quick way to tell: The v2.0 has three 1/8" mini
jacks - Line In, Mic In, and Audio Out, and the v1.5 only has two 1/8"
jacks - Mic In and Audio Out). Make your selection and click on OK.
13. Windows will prompt you for the SoundBlaster I/O address, Interrupt, and
DMA channel. Choose the settings your card is set to and continue on.
14. Windows will ask if you want to restart your system. Click on
RESTART NOW. Windows will then restart.
15. If you run into problems, check your SYSTEM.INI by choosing RUN from
the File menu of the Program Manager, and typing SYSEDIT in the
commandline box. Check your [Drivers] and [sndblst.drv] sections.
They should look something like this:
[drivers]
Timer=timer.drv
Midimapper=midimap.drv
MIDI=sbfm.drv
Wave=sb15snd.drv ;Note - a v1.5 card was assumed. If you
MIDI1=sb15snd.drv ;have a v2.0 card, change to sb20snd.drv
[sndblst.drv]
port=220
int=7
dmachannel=1
Two additional Windows applications are provided. They are MMJBOX.EXE and
MMCBOX.EXE, please copy them into your Windows directory.

1. We are including drivers that make use of Device Virtualization. These
drivers will allow DOS Apps that use the SoundBlaster to run in Enhanced
Mode.
Please make sure that the line reading "device=vsbpd.386" under the
[386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI is correct. If it reads
"device=vsbd.386", simply change it to read "device=vsbpd.386". Make
sure the file is in your Windows SYSTEM directory. If it is not, copy it
from the Drivers Disk.
2. A MIDI-MAP has been created to make use of SBFM.DRV, please use the MIDI
MAPPER icon under Control Panel to customize it to your requirements.
Under Windows v3.1, 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:
