Sensation!  (250-1650)    Windows 3.11 Sound Issues    Faxback Doc. # 16260

Newer versions of Windows are available.  Many customers will want to
install them on their Tandy Sensation system.  The installation of Windows
for Workgroups version 3.11 may cause no audio output.

In the testing we have done, the following things were noted:

    If there is a version of Windows installed on the Tandy Sensation,
    Windows 3.11 can be installed over the existing version without losing
    any sound capabilities.

    If Windows 3.1 has been removed from the system, this version can be
    re-installed and then Windows 3.11 would be installed over that
    version.

    If Windows 3.11 has been installed on a system without Windows, some
    sections of the SYSTEM.INI file can be copied from the Data CD into the
    c:\windows\system.ini file on the hard drive.  These sections would be:

        [mci]
        [drivers]
        [mciseq]
        [vdspd.386]  if it exists

    The [mci] and [drivers] sections would be replaced.  

    Then, all of the .DRV files referenced in these sections need to be
    copied from d:\original\windows\system.  The files are:

        mciwave.drv        mciseq.drv      vdspd.drv
        mcicda.drv         mciavi.drv
        mmaadpcm.drv       mcimmp.drv
        mciaap.drv         timer.drv
        midimap.drv        tandysnd.drv
        tandymma.drv       dtmf.drv
        msvidc.drv         soft486.drv

    Once this is done, restart Windows.  The sounds should play with no
    problem.
