Understanding the Environment Variables: Sound

Blaster Live! Value Sound Card User's Guide

Overview • CTSYN Environment Variable • BLASTER Environment Variable

Overview

Environment variables are used to pass hardware configuration information to the software in

your system. For MS-DOS, your audio card includes the following:

CTSYN Environment Variable

● BLASTER Environment Variable●

CTSYN Environment Variable

The CTSYN environment variable points to the location of the CTSYN.INI file, which usually

resides in the Windows directory. The syntax for this variable is as follows:

CTSYN=path

where path is the location of the CTSYN.INI file.

BLASTER Environment Variable

The BLASTER environment variable specifies the base I/O address, IRQ line, and DMA

channels of the SB interface. Its syntax is:

BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

The parameters in the command are as follows.

This

Parameter Specifies

Axxx SB interface’s base I/O address.

IxIRQ line used by the audio interface.

DxFirst DMA channel used by the audio interface.

HxSecond DMA channel used by the audio interface.

Pxxx MPU-401 UART interface’s base I/O address.

MS-DOS Mode Utilities: Sound Blaster Live! Value

Sound Card User's Guide

Overview • SBECFG.EXE • SBEMIXER.EXE • SBESET.EXE • SBEGO.EXE

Overview

The SB Live! Value card includes a few MS-DOS utilities. These utilities require the SB Live!

DOS driver SBEINIT.COM to be loaded.

SBECFG.EXE

Use the SBECFG.EXE utility to obtain the hardware settings and the status of the SB Live!

Value card.Typing SBECFG.EXE at the command prompt displays the following hardware

settings:

PCI Hardware Settings: Port, IRQ

● Sound Blaster Emulation: Port, IRQ, DMA● MPU-401 Emulation (GM, Roland MT-32/LAPC-1) Emulation: Port● Adlib Emulation: Port●

The emulation settings appear only if they are enabled.

SBEMIXER.EXE

Use SBEMIXER.EXE to change the volume levels of the MPU-401 instrument set used on the

SB Live! card. You can use SBEMIXER.EXE from the command line—useful for advanced

users who want to set up batch files with particular volume levels—or within the SBEMIXER

screen. The settings for SBEMIXER.EXE are independent of the Creative Mixer settings in

Windows 98 Second Edition.

To set SBEMIXER values in the command line:

At the DOS prompt, type the SBEMIXER command in a single line. Its syntax is:

SBEMIXER [/S:x] [/W:x] [/C:x] [/M:x] [/?]

where square brackets [ ] denote optional parameters, and:

This

Parameter Specifies

MS-DOS Mode Utilities: Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card User's Guide

file:///C|/Terrys/msdos.htm (1 of 3) [1/2/2001 2:10:42 PM]

/S:xSynth volume. xcan be a value from the range 0 to 127.

/W:xWave volume. xcan be a value from the range 0 to 127.

/C:xCD audio volume. xcan be a value from the range 0 to 127.

/M:xSynth MT-32/LAPC-1 mode. For x, 0 is Off, 1 is On.

/? View a short description of the parameters.

An example of an SBEMIXER command is

SBEMIXER /S:64 /W:120 /C:50 /M:0

which corresponds to "set the synth volume to 64, the Wave volume to 120, the CD audio

volume to 50, and turn off the Synth MT-32/LAPC-1 mode".

To set SBEMIXER values within the Mixer screen:

At the DOS prompt, type

SBEMIXER

The interactive editor mode allows you to change the mixer settings with the mouse, <Tab>,

<PgUp>, <PgDn>, or arrow keys.

Use the Save button to save the settings for the next session.

SBESET.EXE

Use SBESET.EXE to manually configure SB resources or disable SB Emulation. By default, SB

Emulation in DOS follows the Windows settings. For example, if you disable SB Emulation in

Windows, in the next boot to DOS SB Emulation in DOS disabled. Under rare circumstances

you may need to manually reconfigure DOS SB Emulation, for example, if there is conflict in

DOS before it can boot to Windows. SBESET.EXE is run from the command line.

To set SBESET values in the command line:

At the DOS prompt, type the SBESET command in a single line. Its syntax is:

SBESET [-Axxx] [-Ix] [-Dx] [-Hx] [-Pxxx] [-dx] [-wx]

where square brackets [ ] denote optional parameters, and:

This

Parameter Specifies

-Axxx SB interface’s base I/O address.

-Ix IRQ line used by the audio interface.

-Dx First DMA channel used by the audio interface.

MS-DOS Mode Utilities: Sound Blaster Live! Value Sound Card User's Guide

file:///C|/Terrys/msdos.htm (2 of 3) [1/2/2001 2:10:42 PM]

-Hx Second DMA channel used by the audio interface.

-Pxxx MPU-401 UART interface’s base I/O address.

-dx SB Emulation mode. For x, 1 is Off, 0 is On.

-wx Set x to 1 to use the Windows-assigned resource configuration.

Set xto 0 to use (your) user-assigned resource configuration

NOTE: See "Understanding the System Resource Settings" for a list of the possible

values.

An example of an SBESET command is

SBESET -A240 -I5 -D3 -w0

which corresponds to "set the SB interface’s base I/O address to 240, the IRQ line used by the

audio interface to 5, the First DMA channel used by the audio interface to 3, and use the

Windows-assigned resource configuration".

SBEGO.EXE

Use this to confirm whether SB16 Emulation is properly installed and working.
