Creative WaveSynth Readme File ============================== This file contains additional information to supplement the manual. Please read all the sections before you proceed with the installation. This file contains the following sections: 1. Installation 2. Full-Duplex Constraints 3. Acknowledgments 1. INSTALLATION The full installation option requires about 6 MBytes of hard disk space for program files and an additional 2 MBytes for working space. You might need more if your drive is in compressed form. 2. FULL-DUPLEX CONSTRAINTS Your audio card supports full-duplex recording and playback. However, to make full use of this feature, please make sure you observe the following constraints: a. Start only one session of simultaneous playback and recording. b. Use the same sampling rate for both operations. c. Preferably play back and record audio files which are in uncompressed wave format, that is, Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). d. Reduce the sampling rate for both operations if your audio playback or recording session is too slow. NOTE: The Full-Duplex and DirectSound capabilities are mutually exclusive. If you activate the full-duplex feature, the DirectSound capability cannot be enabled. And vice versa. 3.
