SUMMARY
=======

To access the Demonstration mode in any of the products listed above, you must
press and hold down the CTRL key and ALT key while you press the D key
(CTRL+ALT+D).

This action conflicts with the CTRL+ALT+D key combination Media Vision sound
cards, Soundman 16, and Soundman Wave use to adjust sound card volume with the
Sound Mixer Control program.

WORKAROUND
==========

To control the audio volume on the Media Vision card, Soundman 16, and Soundman
Wave, press the CTRL+ALT+D key combination one time to start the Demonstration
Mode Setup. In the Demonstration mode dialog box, use the CTRL+ALT+D key
combination as many times as necessary to adjust sound card volume. Then press
OK to close the Demonstration Mode Setup.
