DOSMIXER.EXE Used for three reasons: (1). Adjust volume of individual audio inputs. (2). Enables the Roland MPU401/General MIDI port (3). Special setup for some games Usage: DosMixer -Mxx -Pxx -Lxx -Fxx -Wxx -Ixx -Cxx Where integer xx is between 0 (no sound) and 15 (max sound). -M: Master Volume -P: PCM Wave digital audio -L: Line In -F: FM Synthesizer -W: Wave Synthesizer -I: Microphone Input -C: CD-ROM Audio -G: Game Mode *** Special Mode - Read below !! *** -R: Reset Example: DOSMIXER -M15 -F10 -W15 -I0 Master volume=15, FM Synth=10, Wave Synth=12, Mic input=0, General Midi Port enabled (automatically enabled by DOSMIXER) All other settings stay at their previous settings. Example: DOSMIXER -M15 -F10 -W15 -I0 -G same as previous example, Except also sets up the sound card for the "special game" setting. Some DOS games require the sound card to be initialized to a special state. If you encounter any issues running a DOS game run the "DOSMIXER" with the "-G" option. Games like "DOOM" and "HERETIC" require this setting. Games such as "Rise of the Triad" do not. For the games that require the "-G" option, we suggest you put the DOSMIXER statement in a batch file to run the particular game. For example, to run HERETIC, create HER.BAT with the following: DOSMIXER -M15 -W15 -G HERETIC To play the game type "HER". Also run "DOSMIXER -G" before running "SETUP" for the game. If you experience any problem with games, experiment with using DOSMIXER -G. Most games require the "-G", a few games may work better without it. The DOSMIXER sets up registers on the sound card. It does not stay resident in memory so running it will not use up any memory. You only need to specify the particular DOSMIXER options you want to change. Typing "DOSMIXER" with no options will show the current settings.
