Future Trend's EZ FX May Require OPL3= Switch

ID: Q86247

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When you run Future Trend's EZSound FX version 2.0 with Microsoft Windows you are able to play some, but not all, of the sample sounds if you are using a PRO Audio Spectrum 16 or PDPC sound card.


WORKAROUND

  1. Edit the SFSOUND.INI files with a standard ASCII text editor, such as Notepad.


  2. Add the following line to the [FM] section:
    OPL3=Yes


EZSound FX is an application that adds additional sound functionality to Microsoft Windows. This includes playing WAV, MID, VOC, ROL, and several other sound formats.


MORE INFORMATION

The PRO Audio Spectrum 16 and PDPC sound cards use the Yamaha OPL3 sound chip instead of the Yamaha YN1812. This chip may not identify itself as an OPL3 because it is backwards compatible with the YN1812. The OPL3=Yes switch forces the software to override this problem.

The EZSound included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
