Windows (Win-OS/2) 3.1 Multimedia Speaker Driver OS/2 2.1 Considerations If you do not have a sound adapter (such as the IBM M-Audio adapter or Creative Labs SoundBlaster), you may use this speaker driver to provide sound output from Win-OS/2 3.1 (running under OS/2 2.1). The results will not be as spectacular as those generated by a sound adapter, however. To work, this driver must run in a Win-OS/2 session with the HW_TIMER DOS (or Win-OS/2) Setting changed from OFF to ON. To access this setting, go to your Win-OS/2 program object (e.g. the Win-OS/2 Full Screen icon in the Command Prompts folder), click on it with mouse button two, then select Open -> Settings. Click on the right arrow (at the bottom right of the notebook settings dialog), then click on the DOS Settings (or Win-OS/2 Settings) button. Scroll down until you find HW_TIMER, then change the setting. Finally, close the notebook by double clicking on the square in the upper left corner. To install the driver, start your Win-OS/2 desktop by double clicking on the Win-OS/2 Full Screen program object. Find the Win-OS/2 Control Panel, and double click on the icon. Then double click on the Drivers icon. Click on the Add button, then specify the drive and directory where the driver files are located. Select the PC Speaker driver, and click on OK. Configure as you wish, then click OK when finished. From there you may use any of the Windows multimedia applications which generate sound output.
