Understanding the Software-Configurable
Settings
Your audio card supports the Plug and Play (PnP) 1.0a standard. This
allows a PnP system to assign the necessary resources such as I/O
addresses, interrupt lines and DMA channels to your card when you
install it.
If you are using Windows 95, its PnP configuration manager will
automatically set up your card’s resources. If you are using a non-PnP
system such as Windows 3.1x, you must run your PnP configuration
manager to configure the card. For details, refer to the documentation
of your PnP configuration manager.
This section explains the following software-configurable resources
of your audio card:
❑ Input/Output (I/O) Addresses
❑ Interrupt Request (IRQ) Lines
❑ Direct Memory Access (DMA) Channels
