The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Arcade for Windows, version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The games provided in Microsoft Arcade may stop responding (hang) if you use the
16-bit UltraSound sound card manufactured by Advanced Gravis Computer Technology
Ltd. with the default settings.
RESOLUTION
==========
To solve this problem, try one of the following solutions.
Solution 1
----------
Upgrade to the most recent version of the Gravis UltraSound driver that corrects
this problem. To obtain the driver, call the Advanced Gravis Bulletin Board
Service at (604) 431-5927. The filename is GUS0035.ZIP.
Solution 2
----------
This problem can also be solved by opening WAVEMIX.INI from the Windows directory
and using a text editor such as Notepad to add the following lines to the bottom
of the file (include the subheader):
[UltraSound Waveform Output]
Remix=2
GoodWavePos=0
WaveBlocks=3
SamplesPerSec=11
Save the file, exit Notepad, and restart Windows.
Sounds being played by the games may have a slight delay; that is, you will see
an explosion on the screen first, followed a split second later by the sound
effect. However, the delay in sounds should not interfere in anyway to the game
play itself.
