Insufficient Soundfont Cache; Problems With Joystick; Resolving I/O Conflicts - Creative Sound Blaster PCI512 User Manual

Insufficient
SoundFont Cache
There is insufficient memory to load
SoundFonts.
This may occur when a SoundFont-compatible
MIDI file is loaded or played.
Cause: There is insufficient memory
allocated to SoundFonts.
To use a smaller SoundFont bank:
• On the Configure Banks tabbed page of
the SoundFont Control applet, select a
smaller SoundFont bank from the Select
Bank box.
The smallest SoundFont bank available is
2 MB (2GMGSMT.SF2).
The trade-off of a smaller SoundFont
bank is its lower sound quality.
Problems With
Joystick
The joystick port is not working.
The audio card's joystick port conflicts with
the system's joystick port.
To solve this problem:
• Disable the audio card's joystick port and
use the system port instead. For details,
see "Enabling/Disabling Gameport
Joystick Interface" on page C-1.
The joystick is not working properly in
some programs.
The program may use the system processor
timing to calculate the joystick position. When
the processor is fast, the program may
determine the position of the joystick
incorrectly, assuming that the position is out of
range.
To solve this problem:
• Increase your system's 8 bit I/O recovery
time of the BIOS setting, usually under the
Chipset Feature Settings section. Or, if
available, you may adjust the AT Bus
speed to a slower clock. If the problem
persists, try a different joystick.
Do not attempt to make changes to the
BIOS unless you have experience with
system software.
Resolving I/O
Conflicts
Conflicts between your audio card and another
peripheral device may occur if your card and
the other device are set to use the same I/O
address.
To resolve I/O conflicts, change the resource
settings of your audio card or the conflicting
peripheral device in your system using Device
Manager in Windows 95/98.
If you still do not know which card is causing
the conflict, remove all cards except the audio
card and other essential cards (for example,
disk controller and graphics cards). Add each
card back until Device Manager indicates that
a conflict has occurred.
To resolve hardware conflicts in Windows
95/98:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings,
and then click Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click
the System icon.
3. In the System Properties dialog box, click
the Device Manager tab.
4. Under the Sound, Video And Game
Controllers entry, select the conflicting
audio card driver—indicated by an
exclamation mark (!)—and click the
Properties button.
5. In the Properties dialog box, click the
Resources tab.
