Sound Blaster's Mixer May Need an Upgrade

ID: Q80565

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows with Multimedia Extensions, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Sound Blaster Pro includes a mixer-control program for Windows with Multimedia Extensions version 1.0. The mixer-control application (SBMIXER.EXE) may cause your machine to experience erratic behavior or lock up (hang) when running Windows.

WORKAROUND

Creative Labs, the creator of Sound Blaster Pro, is aware of this problem and has provided an updated version of the mixer to solve this problem. The updated version puts the mixer into the Windows Control Panel.

If the file size of SBMIXER.EXE is 25792 and/or the SNDBLST.DLL file size is 23776, then an upgrade is necessary.

To obtain this upgrade, contact Creative Labs Technical Support or connect to the Creative Labs bulletin board service (BBS).

The Creative Labs product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
