file. You can choose to have INSTALL make these changes for you, or
store the changes in a separate file called AUTOEXEC.MAD.Then you
must edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT and make the changes yourself.

(with the PATH %PATH%; C:\OPTi930 command).
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file shall have the following added :
Syntax: Example:
SET SOUND16=<DRIVE:\PATH>SET SOUND16=C:\OPTI930
<DRIVE:\PATH>\SNDINIT /B C:\OPTI930\SNDINIT /B
SET BLASTER=AN IN DN TN SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
Changes to CONFIG.SYS

Your CONFIG.SYS file shall have the following changes:
Syntax: DEVICE=<drive:\path>\CDSETUP.SYS /T:n /P:n
Example:DEVICE=C:\OPTI930\CDSETUP.SYS/T:I P:170

CD-ROM Configuration
You must set the exact hardware settings that match to your CD-ROM
drive. For IRQ, DMA channel, and I/O base address.
Testing the HOT-235 Sound
In a system, it is important that you test the HOT-235 sound card when
you are in the installation program. This will insure that your settings are
correct and working properly. If you do not hear any sound, you can try
and adjust the volume. If you still do not hear any sounds, you will need
to make sure your settings are correct. Check the Sound Blaster or Win-
dows Sound System settings first. If your system locks up during the sound
test, you will need to reboot, run the SNDINIT.EXE program, and check
your settings.
Testing and Re-Configuring the HOT-235 Sound Card
You can run the SNDINIT.EXE program at anytime to make changes to your
HOT-235 configuration. When re-configuring the HOT-235, you can use
the following parameter lines:
SNDINIT /B Runs the SNDINIT program using the values speci-
fied in the SOUND16.CFG configuration file.
SNDINIT /? Displays help information to explain how to use
SNDINIT.
SNDINIT Runs the SNDINIT program to let you change your
HOT-235 configuration. You will see the main con-
figuration screen you had when you first setup the
HOT-235 with the installation program.

prompt.
Some games do not allow this TSR to take effect. In this case, you will not
be able to access these hot keys and use the keyboard to control the vol-
ume. You can exit the game, and run SNDINIT.EXE to adjust the volume
or use an external amplifier with its own volume control adjustments.

make the program resident in memory and will begin redirecting your
microphone input to your speaker output. To turn it off, enter KARAOKE
OFF at the DOS prompt. This will turn off the KARAOKE program and
remove it from memory.
