Applications in Windows 95
ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ
Most of the Turtle Beach applications work in the Windows 95 environment. 
There are some exceptions as noted:

1. The Sierra audio rack does not work in Stealth mode.

2. Microwave may cause problems when used as an OLE server.

3. The Turtle Beach CD player shows a white rectangle to the right of the 
main controls. This does not affect the operation of the program.

4.  If you plan to print musical scores using the Stratos application, "
Manuscript," you will need to make a minor modification in Windows 95.  Copy 
the following two files from the \TBEACH\STRATOS directory to the 
\WINDOWS\FONTS directory (your Windows 95 directory name may vary)

W3TTF.TTF
W3TTFB.TTF

These are "True Type" font files that will allow Windows 95 to print the 
musical notation necessary for the Manuscript program.


Low Priority on the TB Mixer
ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ
In general, you will not need to use the "Low Priority Input" button on the 
TB Mixer.  There are a few applications (such as "Voice Pilot," included with 
the Windows Sound System software) that make use of the input levels shown 
after clicking on the Low Priority Input button, but most applications do 
not. If you wish to set input levels for applications such as Sound Recorder, 
Quick Recorder, Wave SE, or MicroWave, click on the Wave Input button and 
adjust the levels shown.

The Turtle Beach mixer is designed for maximum user control. One capability
allows you to switch between Master Out and Wave Input and hear the audio
signal as output and input simultaneously. This means you can mute the sound
in Master Out and switch to Wave Input to adjust the signal to an appropriate
level for recording. This capability may lead to a slight phase shift in your output,
but it will not be detectable in any .WAV file recording.


MicroWave and OLE
ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ
MicroWave is functionally compatible with OLE 1.0, and with the identical 
functions in OLE 2.0. However, MicroWave will not function with OLE 2.0 
specific calls.


Problems Recording or Playing Back .WAV Audio
ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ
If you are experiencing problems recording or playing back .WAV audio, 
enter the Windows Control Panel and open the Drivers section. Edit the 
CS31BA11 Business Audio, WSS 2.0 Enhanced driver and choose Half Duplex. 
Restart your machine and try recording or playing back .WAV audio.  NOTE: 
In this configuration, simultaneous .WAV record and playback is not available.
