Notes about the sound drivers Be sure to check the driver screen (Shift-F5) of your soundcard! I often get asked what soundcard I believe is the best. My favourite soundcards are: Terratec EWS64 XL (http://www.terratec.de) ViperMAX Sound Blaster AWE32 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Driver Summary Driver Def/Max Quick- Stereo Bits Mixing Rate/Resolution Channels select MIDI In/Out available?

The hiquality GUS driver reinitialises the GUS continually to use as few channels as necessary. Some GUS cards cannot cope with this and you will need to use the alternative ITGUSLO.DRV instead. B) The mixing rate of the SBPro depends on whether playback is stereo or mono ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ PC Speaker (ITPCSPKR.DRV) Nothing much else to say here, except... GET A SOUND CARD! :) Note: On the info page, using the 'variables' display WILL distort PC Speaker output. Also, it has been found that the Info Page screens and the Pattern Editor cause a noticeably higher amount of hiss through the speaker. Note: This driver *MAY NOT* work on laptop's piezo-electric speakers. Note: No driver screen available. Note: Not for use with Win95 ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ DAC on LPT 1/2 Drivers These drivers are almost exactly the same as the PC speaker drivers, with only minor modifications. To use these, run IT /sITLPT1.DRV or IT /sITLPT2.DRV - depending on which LPT you have your DAC plugged into. Note: If you're interested in building your own parallel port DAC, check out: http://www.dnc.net/users/collver/dac.htm Note: No driver screen available. Note: On the info page, using the 'variables' display WILL distort PC Speaker output. Also, it has been found that the Info Page screens and the Pattern Editor cause a noticeably higher amount of hiss through the speaker. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Gravis UltraSound, Hardware mixing (ITGUS.DRV) This file actually contains two drivers in one file. The first is accessed just by using IT (with no command line parameters, or with /s7 for Gravis UltraSound). This is equivalent to the original internal driver that came with previous versions of Impulse Tracker. The second driver is selected by providing the correct IRQ for the GF1 chip. (The second-to-last number of your ULTRASND environment variable). This is an IRQ driven routine, which means that it'll work in the background of Windows '95. But note that the timing for this is NOT as accurate as the timing in the first driver. There is also a possibility that multitasking OSs can sometimes (although rarely) cause some settings to the GUS to be missed (which will cause a note to play unexpectedly). This can be fixed just by restarting playback. There is NO check for the correctness of the IRQ provided. Note that the IRQ driven routine doesn't seem to work on all computers either.. :( The Gravis UltraSound *CANNOT* cope with 16-bit samples greater than 256k-bytes. This is equivalent to 128k-length samples. Also, 16-bit samples cannot cross 256k boundaries on the GUS, meaning that the amount of memory you have on the card may decrease by more than you expect when you load a 16-bit sample. You cannot choose the mixing rate for the GUS - the mixing rate is dependent on the number of channels playing. This driver continuously reinitialises the GUS to use as few channels as possible. You can further restrict the number of channels used with /Lxx on the command line of Impulse Tracker. Gravis UltraSound 2, Hardware mixing (ITGUS2.DRV) If the first Gravis UltraSound driver clicks continuously when nothing is supposed to be playing, use this driver ("IT /sITGUS2.DRV"). This driver file also contains two drivers - check above on how to access the second driver. Gravis UltraSound Lo-freq, Hardware mixing (ITGUSLO.DRV) Only use this driver if notes do *NOT* finish playing off correctly on your GUS. ("IT /sITGUSLO.DRV" or copy ITGUSLO.DRV over ITGUS.DRV) This driver does not try to continuously reinitialise the card to use a minimum number of channels like the above two drivers do. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Gravis Ultrasound MAX - Software mixing (ITGUSMAX.DRV) This device has ONLY been included because it works for SOME people. It has NEVER worked under Win95 with GUS drivers installed as far as I know. If it doesn't work for you - I'm sorry, you'll have to use the hardware drivers. Don't write to me and complain if they don't work for you - you probably won't get a reply. To use this driver, you MUST specify your GUSMAX's Codec IRQ *AND* DMA on the command line as: IT /sITGUSMAX.DRV /i /d If you want to specify a port (which should be auto-detected OK), the port is of the Codec, NOT the GUS's Base Address. (ie. 32Ch NOT 220h) Note: After some testing, it *seems* that you'll need an ULTRINIT of version 2.28a or above to use this driver... Here's part of an EMail that I received from Jarkko Seppanen on how he got ITGUSMAX.DRV working: I just found a weird way to make the GUS MAX software mixer to work (for me, at least). I normally use DMA 6 for playback and DMA 7 for recording. I was playing around with IT and trying to get the driver to work and changed both DMAs to 1. And for my surprise it started to work. Next I tried it with both DMAs 6, with the same result. But the funny thing is, when I first play a song with both DMAs the same and then change them back to the original (6 and 7), it still works. I'm using IT v2.11 with ultrinit v2.31. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ InterWave Driver - Hardware mixing (ITIW.DRV) (This includes GUS PnP, GUS PnP Pro, WavExtreme 32 Pro + more) You *NEED* to have RAM onboard your soundcard to use this driver, otherwise your Interwave card will NOT be detected. This file actually contains two drivers in one file. The first is accessed just by using IT (with no command line parameters, or with /s8 for AMD Interwave IC). This is similar to the original internal GUS driver that came with previous versions of Impulse Tracker. The second driver is selected by providing the correct IRQ for the Interwave chip. (This is the value given in Windows'95/settings/ control panel/system/Interwave SYNTH/IRQ). This is an IRQ driven routine, which means that it'll work in the background of Windows '95. But note that the timing for this is NOT as accurate as the timing in the first driver. There is also a possibility that multitasking OSs can sometimes (although rarely) cause some settings to the GUS to be missed (which will cause a note to play unexpectedly). This can be fixed just by restarting playback (or reinitialising in severe cases). There is NO check for the correctness of the IRQ provided. The Interwave driver contains handlers for two different memory modes on the Interwave - the more memory efficient mode is where the amount of ram is directly compatible with the interwave, the second is where the DRAM configuration is NOT directly compatible with the interwave and the driver has to handle the RAM slightly more explicitly, which causes the loss of memory-usage efficiency. Here are the modes directly compatible with the interwave: Bank 0 Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Total 256Kb 0 0 0 256Kb 256Kb 256Kb 0 0 512Kb 256Kb 256Kb 256Kb 256Kb 1MB 256Kb 1MB 0 0 1.25MB 256Kb 1MB 1MB 1MB 3.25MB 256Kb 256Kb 1MB 0 1.5MB 256Kb 256Kb 1MB 1MB 2.5MB 1MB 0 0 0 1MB 1MB 1MB 0 0 2MB 1MB 1MB 1MB 1MB 4MB 4MB 0 0 0 4MB * 4MB 4MB 0 0 8MB * 4MB 4MB 4MB 4MB 16MB * These modes cannot be handled by the first driver, so are actually handled in the second mode. The mixing rate for the Interwave driver is fixed at 44100Hz (CD quality) Bug warning: If the sound does NOT play properly, you may need to run IWINIT before running Impulse Tracker ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Sound Blaster 1.0 driver (ITSB.DRV) The Sound Blaster has a mixing range of 12000->21739 Hz. You CANNOT hear any stereo (or surround) effects with this driver, because the Sound Blaster does NOT support stereo. Hardware detection routines are used for Address (eg. 220h), environment is checked for IRQ and DMA. Command line arguments for IRQ and DMA are NOT checked but assumed correct IF this driver is explicitly selected (IT /s2 or IT /sITSB.DRV). Sound Blaster 2.0 driver (ITSB2.DRV) The Sound Blaster 2 driver is basically the same as the Pro driver with stereo options removed... (ie SB2 cannot do stereo). The mixing range is from 12000 to 43478 Hz. Hardware detection routines are used for Address (eg. 220h), environment is checked for IRQ and DMA. Command line arguments for IRQ and DMA are NOT checked but assumed correct IF this driver is explicitly selected (IT /s3 or IT /sITSB2.DRV). Sound Blaster Pro driver (ITSBPRO.DRV) The Sound Blaster Pro has a mixing range of 12000->43478 in mono mode, or 6000->21739 in stereo mode. Hardware detection routines are used for Address (eg. 220h), environment is checked for IRQ and DMA. Command line arguments for IRQ and DMA are NOT checked but assumed correct IF this driver is explicitly selected (IT /s4 or IT /sITSBPRO.DRV). Sound Blaster 16 driver (ITSB16.DRV, ITSB16B.DRV, ITSB16C.DRV) The Sound Blaster 16 has a mixing range of 12000->45454 in either mono or stereo modes. If you specify this driver ( IT /s5 or IT /sITSB16.DRV ) AND an IRQ or DMA, IT will try to *FORCE* the SB16 to use the IRQ/DMA. eg. On my system, I have my SB16 configured to IRQ 2, DMA 5, but I can force it to use IRQ 7, DMA 0 with IT /s5 /i7 /d0 Hardware detection routines are used for all Address, IRQ and DMA. Note: If you select either of the 32-bit mixing modes, then volumes between 0->32768 are used internally instead of 0->128. The second driver, ITSB16B.DRV is a cut down version of the main driver which does NOT have the advanced mixing options - the only benefit of this is that it requires less memory. To use this, type: "IT /sITSB16B.DRV". If you want to have this file automatically used just copy it over ITSB16.DRV. To get MIDI input, I had to do this in Win95: Goto "My Computer", right click -> properties -> device manager -> sound, video and multimedia -> SB16/AWE32 DSP Now go to the "resources" tab, and unclick "Use automatic settings" Either: 1) Change your MIDI port from 300h to 330h or 2) Select a 'basic configuration' which doesn't include the MIDI port ( 3) Get an updated driver from Creative Labs, if they've fixed it ) Click OK, then click OK on the warning message. There is a good chance that it should work now. I believe this is a bug in the older Win95 SB16 drivers. (I *know* that the SB16 driver I have prevents MIDI in DOS boxes and is the cause of these problems because if I remove it, MIDI works flawlessly in DOS boxes in in Win95) ;---------- ITSB16C.DRV -------- I finally managed to encounter a computer which wouldn't accept IT's old SB16 drivers - and hence I created ITSB16C.DRV. If you run ITSB16.DRV and the playback cursor does NOT move, then you MUST close your Win95 box (or restart your computer), *then* run: IT /sITSB16C.DRV This driver is similar to ITSB16B.DRV in that it is a cut down version of the full SB16 driver, but this one also has the MIDI input disabled (which seems to be causing all the problems on the cards which just won't 'play') ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Sound Blaster AWE 32 drivers (ITAWE32.DRV, ITAWE32B.DRV) The Sound Blaster AWE 32 driver directly uses the EMU8000 synth chip. This synth chip has several limitations which you should be aware of: ù It can only use 16-bit samples. 8 bit samples are automatically converted by IT (so that's not a problem), but your free memory may decrease by double of what you expect. (eg. you will need at least 1MB of memory to load 512k of 8 bit samples) ù It doesn't support ping pong loops or no loops. IT will automatically expand ping pong loops and will pad non-looped samples with silence, but this makes sample sustain loops impossible to implement fully. It also means that ping pong looped samples could take up to double the memory of forwards looped samples. Sustain loops will NOT operate on the AWE32 driver. Instead, they will be treated as NORMAL loops. If you change the loop type from none->forwards or forwards->ping pong or ping pong->none, you WILL need to reload the samples each time (Ctrl-G). If you change the loop points on a sample, you *will* have to reload the samples (Ctrl-G) ù Has a limited frequency range - from the programming information, it seems that it is impossible to play a note at above 176kHz. This equates to any notes 2 octaves above middle C (or higher) for a sample at 44kHz. If a note is not played because of this frequency limitation, a message will show at the top of the screen indicating that the frequency range has been exceeded. Note: The Address used for the SB AWE 32 is the address of the EMU8000, NOT the address of your SB. (for command line params, eg A660) Note: This driver is NOT used as a default, as many users would benefit more from the SB16 driver. (I recommend having at least 2MB of memory if you want to use this driver). Run "IT /s6" if you do want to use this driver. Note: This driver can operate in Win95. In this mode, it uses a different mechanism which allows the playing of music in the background, but timing is *NOT* as accurate here (accurate to around 100 milli seconds as opposed to 800 nano seconds per frame) Note: The second driver, ITAWE32B.DRV, is for people who do *NOT* have a floating point unit (ie. 386, 486SX computers). ITAWE32.DRV is preferred as it requires less memory. To access ITAWE32B.DRV, run "IT /sITAWE32B.DRV" ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Pro Audio Spectrum (ITPAS.DRV) Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (ITPAS16.DRV) BIG thanks to Pelusa for VITAL programming information for this!! BIG thanks to MZ/PoP for lending me a PAS16 to stuff around with!! Note: These drivers will *NOT* work in the background of Win95, although they will work fine in the foreground. Note: You NEED to have the MVSOUND.SYS driver installed for these to operate or a Window's system driver. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Windows Sound System (ITWSS.DRV, ITWSS2.DRV) Again, BIG thanks to Pelusa for VITAL programming information for this! ITWSS is a 16-bit driver, with output frequencies ranging from 8kHz to 64kHz (!). Mixing speeds above 48kHz *MAY* not work on all Windows Sound System Cards. ITWSS.DRV is a completely IRQ driven routine. Although this may not be compatible with *ALL* soundcards, it permits background playback in Windows'95 and is FAR MORE EFFICIENT than ITWSS2.DRV. ITWSS2.DRV should be used if ITWSS doesn't operate properly. Note: There is *NO* autodetection on IRQ/DMA. You *will* need to set these on the command line if they are not IRQ7/DMA1. If you *DO* specify IRQ and/or DMA, then it must be DMA 0, 1 or 3, and IRQ 7, 9 10 or 11. Impulse Tracker will attempt to SET the DMA/IRQ of your WSS card to these values, in a similar manner to how the SB16 driver operates. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ESS ES1868 AudioDrive (ITES1868.DRV) The drivers for the ESS ES1868 AudioDrive use the PnP registers to detect/configure this soundcard. If you have disabled the PnP on the card the driver may not work... The default mixing rate is 44kHz, although the card can handle up to 56kHz Thanks go out to Diablo for pointing me in the right direction to find the programming information and Andrew Lee for lending me a card to program with! ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ESS ES1688 AudioDrive (ITES1688.DRV) This driver was written for Synergy ViperMAX / GUS Extreme soundcards, so that the codec may be used to write songs > 1MB large. Thanks go to James Hsu / Synergy for providing me with a card to work on. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ EWS64 XL Codec (ITEWSCOD.DRV) Like the ESS ES1868 Audiodrive, this card uses the PnP registers to detect/configure the soundcard. The default mixing rate is set at 48kHz Big thanks go out to the entire TerraTec team for providing me with a card to use - especially Kay "Mod4Win" Bruns.

If you have disabled the PnP on the card the driver may not work... The default mixing rate is 48kHz. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Sound Track PCI Codec (ITSTCODE.DRV) This driver uses the PCI registers to autodetect the card. Unfortunately this does not always seem to be the correct value, hence you may have to override the parameters on the command line. (The computer *MAY* hang if the correct values are not available!) Sound Track 97 PCI and Sound Track 42 PCI cards are handled by this driver. The 'extra' settings of reverb, chorus, echo, equalizer and surround are not available on the ST42 cards. SRS settings are available.

It does NOT support sample playback at all. Trying to play a sample will result in the note being 'terminated' immediately. To use this driver, you may need to provide the MIDI port on the command line; eg. "IT /s19 /a360" Addresses 330h and 300h are checked if a port is NOT specified.
