>  Troubleshooting Sound Cards

Use the following list of troubleshooting suggestions
if Microsoft Fury3 does not play sound properly:

* Be sure you are using the latest sound driver
available. Contact your sound card manufacturer to
obtain the latest sound driver.

* Be sure that your system's volume control is not
muted and is turned up.

* Verify that Windows 95 can play .WAV files:
Click the Start button, and then point to Settings.
Click Control Panel.
Double-click the Sounds icon.
Try to play a .WAV file.

* Verify that Windows 3.1 can play .WAV files:
Click the Main group, and then double-click
    Control Panel.
Double-click the Sound icon.
Try to play a .WAV file.

* If Windows cannot play a .WAV file:
Check to see that you have an audio card. If you don't
have an audio card, contact your equipment
dealer to obtain one.

* If you are able to play a .WAV file:
Start Microsoft Fury3.
On the Options menu, click Sound Options.
Verify that the Play Sound Effects and Play Music
    check boxes are checked, and that Volume for both
    is 100%. If the volume is turned up, then click
    Advanced.
Verify that Fury3 recognizes an audio driver by
    looking at the Sound Card Detected line.
Click Test to see if Fury3 will play a sound file.

*If you are having trouble hearing sound in Fury3, it
may be related to the type of sound card you have. Use
the list of sound cards and settings below to adjust
settings for your sound card.
On the Fury3 Options menu, click Sound Options. In
    the Sound Options dialog, click Advanced.
In the Number of Buffers box, select the number
    that correlates to the number of buffers for
    your sound card in the list below. Then select the
    appropriate number for Buffer Size.
Click Test to listen to the results of your
    changes. Click Default to return the numbers to
    their original values.
