TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
DISTORTED DIGITAL SOUND WITH IRQ7
If your sound card is using IRQ7 and you get choppy digital sound,
you may have a noisy IRQ7 line. Change to another free IRQ. Noisy IRQ7
lines are most common in systems with IDE/MULTI I/O cards.

NO SOUND FROM THE PROAUDIO SPECTRUM
Verify that the driver MVSOUND.SYS is loaded by CONFIG.SYS.  If you
made a boot disk, copy the MVSOUND.SYS line from your hard drive's
CONFIG.SYS to your boot disk's CONFIG.SYS.
 
GAME LOCKS WITH DIGITAL SOUND
Check for a conflict between the sound card and another card.  Run
INSTALL and disable digital sounds.  Consult the sound card manual for
information on resolving IRQ, I/O, and DMA conflicts with other cards
in your system.

THRUSTMASTER HAT IS NOT WORKING
Verify that your joystick card supports two joysticks.  Joysticks with 
throttles can not be used with Y-cables or with cards that support only 
one joystick.  Make sure that you do not have TWO joystick cards in your
machine. If your Sound Card has a joystick port, AND your Multi I/O card
has a joystick port, disable the joystick port on the Multi I/O card.
