If you need the driver disks, get them from Martin Adam's site

From Christian Hansen
   There is no drivers written specific for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or any other operating system.  The drivers do work with Windows 95, but are not pallable to all applications. If you want to play DirextX games – get another soundcard. If you want to get sound from the Internet – use Netscape. If you want to make recordings under Windows 95, get Cool Edit 1.53 from Syntrillium, since the W95 built-in soundsampler don’t work.  The drivers don’t work in a plain DOS environment - DOS applications must run in a DOS window under Windows.

Band-in-a-Box   An application to play MIDI music arrangements for Windows by PG Music, Inc., enables the AUDIOVATION adapters to play back these songs at near-CD quality performance.

QSound   An application that provides three-dimensional sound by Archer Communications Inc., gives the Mwave sampled-sound MIDI synthesizer incredible three-dimensional effects on ordinary speakers.
I got it. Looking at a site to store it.

Monologue  A text-to-speech application by First Byte, Inc., that translates written text into spoken words.  The text-to-speech synthesis engine translates English ASCII text strings into synthesized audio output for various applications, including word processing and spreadsheets.

Installing Audiovation Software for Windows
       You are asked to decide which Audiovation options  you wish to install. Most users should select the Complete Installation You may select a Custom Installation if you wish to install a subset of the Audiovation options at this time. 
      (The Custom Installation will give you the following choices: Sound Play/Record, Audio Applets, MIDI Synthesizers, MIDI Ports, DOS Games Audio, Image Viewer.) 

TalkWorks 
      TalkWorks provides the Audio Recorder capability for Audiovation. 

Audiovation Under W95
>>Do Win95 drivers exist for the Audiovation sound board? 
>Nope.  Sorry.  Win3.1 16-bit drivers are the latest. 

From Peter 
... which can be used under Win95. The card even has a software-soundblaster emulation for the DOS-mode / DOS-box which -at least- works with DOOM ... :-) 
   The 16-bit software comes with own Mixer / Volume control ... the one from Win95 cannot be used and software which *requires* the Win95 controls do not work. 
   One trick: do not install the Win95 Multimedia stuff or uninstall it if you have it installed already. Then install the MWave software and reboot the system. Make sure the MWave stuff loaded properly - then install the Win95 Multimedia stuff again. The MWave will become "primary 
audio device" after that. Then you can play WAVs, MIDs, RMI and such ... some movies do not run with sound however. Depends on. 

> Just looked into the Audiovation ADF - must be the @8FD6.ADF  you'd downloaded, right?  Mentioned the comments inside the file? You could enable a PS/1 compatible Midi-port on the card with changing one pos-byte and uncommenting some more lines further below. The funny fact: the Midi-port sits at I/O 330h and uses Int 7 (uh-oh ... poor printer port!)... 

     I don't know: Win95's "Control Panel|System" utility doesn't show my LPT ports to utilize their "so-called" IRQ assignments. 

> ...and the game-port sits at I/O 200h - which is a lot more into the standards directions. However: I'm afraid you will get problems with the shared Interrupt 7 under Win95, which totally dislikes IRQ-sharing. 

     That's because the Mickeysoft "whiz kids" who wrote "Whenever95" were "PS/2-ignorant" and didn't even *know* there *was* a machine which supported IRQ sharing! 
     Too bad they didn't walk down the hall to the WinNT development people: as they (and any remaining Microsoft OS/2 people <g>) already *knew* of the PS/2's *superior" IRQ sharing capabilities! 

> Maybe you need to reconfigure your LPT1 to IRQ5 ... Damned Win95 !! Damned Microsoft. Why couldn't they get it right *one time*. 

Game Audio Port Address, IRQ / DMA Channel (default settings) 
           Port Address = 220 
           Interrupt Line (IRQ) = 7 
           DMA channel = 1 

Wrap Cable
   During some of the tests you will be asked to connect the Wrap Cable from the adapter's Line-In port to the adapter's Line-Out port or from the adapter's Mic-In port to the adapter's Line-Out port.  The Wrap Cable is the stereo 1/8" - 1/8" audio patch/wrap cable that came with the Audiovation Adapter/A. 
   It is not a special cable, and if you have misplaced it, you can purchase a stereo 1/8" - 1/8" audio patch cable in most music or electronic stores.  If you have the MIDI and Joystick Option you are asked to use a MIDI cable to Wrap from MIDI Out to MIDI In.  (If you have this option we assume that you have purchased MIDI cables to connect your keyboard and you can use one of those cables as the Wrap cable.  Again it is not a special cable.) 

    Some Audiovation Adapters have an internal wrap circuit from Line-Out to Line-In for diagnostic testing.  When a 1/8 inch phone plug is inserted into Line-Out to connect a speaker or headset the internal wrap circuit is disconnected.  But when the audio front panel is used instead of the Audiovation rear panel, the internal wrap circuit is not disconnected. 
   Try inserting the headphone set into the Line-Out socket.  If the buzz stops and the Adapter functions OK you have an internal wrap circuit that needs to be disconnected.  One solution is to purchase a 1/8 inch phone plug and insert it into the unused Line-Out socket on the Audiovation rear panel.
