SUMMARY
=======

The following information is an example of the [SNDSYS.DRV] section of the
SYSTEM.INI file for the Windows Sound System. The explanation describes which
lines determine the DMA, Interrupt, and I/O address of the Windows Sound System
card:

  [SNDSYS.DRV]
  DMABufferSize=32
  EnableAutoAcquireOPL3=1
  Msft Hardware=1
  Msft Support=1
  Auto Select=1
  Midi Play=1
  DMA 0=1
  DMA 1=1
  DMA 3=1
  Default DMA=0
  I/O 530=1
  I/O 604=1
  I/O E80=1
  I/O F40=1
  Default I/O=530
  IRQ 7=1
  IRQ 9=1
  IRQ 10=1
  IRQ 11=1
  Default IRQ=7
  OldMSDOSGameCompatibility=False
  DMADAC=0
  DMAADC=0
  Interrupt=10
  IOAddress=530

The DMADAC and the DMAADC lines determine the DMA that Windows Sound System uses.
The Interrupt and IOAddress lines determine the interrupt and I/O address of the
board.
