5.3  Appendix 3: Kaldar's Guide To Specific Sound Card Settings.

    Below is a list of sound cards and settings you may need to manually
    set.  Most systems will not require any changes.  If you do make
    changes, backup the original files.  Changes here may affect other
    applications.

    Most name brand computers sold today do not have Creative Lab Sound
    Blaster sound cards. You will need to know which sound card that
    your computer has. You can find this information in Device Manager
    in Windows 95 or contact your computer manufacturer. Below are
    listed the most common sound cards and their settings. If you cannot
    hear sound if you have set the sound, you need to run the game in
    DOS mode.

    Sound Blaster PnP Sound Cards For all Sound Blaster type sound
    cards, any model, use the following setting as defaults:
    Address/Port: 220 IRQ: 5 DMA: 1

    Tomb Raider may not auto-detect your Sound Blaster sound card
    successfully. You will need to insure that all DOS drivers are
    installed for your sound card. If you are unsure as to how to do
    this you should contact your computer manufacturer or Creative Labs.
    If you have DOS drivers installed, make sure that you have the
    following line in your Autoexec.bat file;

    Set Blaster=A220 I5 D1 T6

    If the game locks up in Window 95 restart your computer in DOS mode
    and follow the DOS installation instructions in the game manual.

    If problems persist with the Creative Labs Plug and Play Sound card
    and Windows 95:

    You will need to install the DOS drivers for the Sound Blaster 16.
    To obtain these drivers, do a web search for Creative Labs. If you
    don't have Internet access, call Creative Labs Technical Support at
    (405) 742-6622.

    ESS audio drive Many Compaq and Dell computers use this sound card.
    Tomb Raider will incorrectly detect your sound card as a Sound
    Blaster 16ASP/ AWE32. You need to go to the sound setup in the game
    and manually select the ESS Audio Drive from the list. Use the same
    settings that were auto-detected, usually Port 220, DMA 1, and IRQ
    5. Try test, if you hear Lara say; "Right, Let's go adventuring!"
    choose continue and then choose save settings. If the game locks
    when you try test, Press CTRL, ATL, and Delete and End Task on
    instr. If Windows says that it can't close DOS program just click
    yes. Now click on Start, Shut Down and the Restart computer in MS-
    DOS mode. Then click yes. Follow the DOS installation instructions
    found on page three of your manual.

    Mwave sound card Most IBM Aptiva and Acer Aspire computers have this
    sound/modem card. You may not be able to set the game up in Windows.
    When you get the sound setup, you will want to select Manually
    Select Sound Card. Choose the first Sound Blaster Option, Your Port
    220, DMA 1, and IRQ 5. After you hear Lara say, "Right, Let's go
    adventuring!" select Continue and then select save settings. If this
    is not successful you will need to Shut Down and Restart the
    computer in MS-DOS mode. Once you are in DOS follow the "DOS
    Installation Instructions." When you get the sound setup, you will
    want to select Manually Select Sound Card. Choose the first Sound
    Blaster Option, Your Port 220, DMA 1, and IRQ 5. After you hear Lara
    say, "Right, Let's go adventuring!" Select Continue and then select
    save settings. You should exit the game and restart Windows. Once
    you have restarted Windows you should be able to start the game
    normally.

    Crystal Sound device. This sound card is use by many computer
    manufacturers. When you get the sound setup, you will want to select
    Manually Select Sound Card. Choose the Sound Blaster Pro, Port 220,
    DMA 1, and IRQ 5. After you hear Lara say, "Right, Let's go
    adventuring!" Select Continue and then select save settings. If you
    get no sound or the game locks at test, then Shutdown and restart in
    DOS mode and follow directions on page 3 of the manual.

    Yamaha OPL3sa This sound card is use by many computer manufacturers,
    such as Hewlett-Packard and Sony. When you get the sound setup, you

    Blaster Pro, Port 220, DMA 1, and IRQ 5. After you hear Lara say,
    "Right, Let's go adventuring!" Select Continue and then select save
    settings.

    PCI Sound Cards PCI sound cards were not available at the time of
    the release of Tomb Raider, subsequently, it is very likely that
    some of these cards may have some trouble with Tomb Raider and other
    DOS based games. If you are having such trouble, it is recommended
    that you contact your sound card manufacturer on how they suggest
    setting up the game and sound card drivers to work with DOS games.

    Compaq Computers using SoundBlaster 16/AWE32 Set to SoundBlaster
    Pro., SoundBlaster 16 PnP or AWE PnP, manually set the sound card.
    (We highly recommend you get the DOS drivers from Creative Labs.)

    NEC Ready Series Computers Use Soundblaster.

    IBM MWave DSP Sound Card/Modem, Add this line to your config.sys:

    and press enter. Windows will now restart.

    After Windows has started, double click on My Computer Icon, then
    double click on the CD-ROM drive the game should now start with no
    problem.

    HP computers using Yamaha sound cards in Win95 In the Autoexec.bat
    file, REM the SET BLASTER line and reboot

    HP Pavilion PC with the Yamaha OPL3-SA Shut down to DOS, manually
    select the Sound Blaster.

    PACKARD BELL COMPUTERs Use Sound Blaster.

    YAHAMA OPL3 Sound Card Use SOUND BLASTER setting.

    Yamaha OPL3sa audio device select: MS Sound System Port 530 DMA 1.

    COMPAQ computers with ESS AUDIO Select ESS AUDIO using similar Sound
    Blaster settings.

    RAP 10 sound cards Be cautious when you configure the setting, the
    game does not support this card.

    Dell Latitude Laptop Computer Your sound card is most likely the ESS
    Audio Drive. "Manually Select Sound Card" and use ESS Audio Drive
    Port: 220 DMA: 1 IRQ: 5

    Gravis Ultrasound Card After you have installed the game, either
    from DOS or Win95, edit the HMISET.CFG in the Tombraider dir. Under
    the [DIGITAL] section, look for the line: DEVICEID = ... If you
    manually set or autodetect the sound card for Gravis Ultrasound,
    this number should be 0xe024. Change this to the following:
    DEVICEID=0xe023 (changing the number from 24 to 23) Do not run sound
    setup anymore but you must run the game from DOS.

    Soundblaster PCI 128 When playing TR(1,G,2,2G,3) with the
    Soundblaster PCI128 and Cambridge Soundworks bundle, and the sound
    cuts out, users can simply turn the volume knob higher, or turn the
    Windows volume control panel up and the speaker volume knob down.
    There's also some jumper you can set in side the bass amp, but I'm
    pretty sure that voids the warranty.  This is a hardware 'feature',
    called "low power standby mode", not a software, driver, or
    configuration problem.
