must be installed in your system.
Note: The Start Up program automatically detects if the Acrobat Reader utility is already
present in your system, and otherwise prompts you on whether or not you want to install it.
You must install the Acrobat Reader utility to be able to read the user's manual file. Follow
the instructions on your screen during installation, then once the installation is completed,
restart your system and re-run the SOYO CD.
Step 3. Install Drivers
Click the Install Drivers button to display the list of drivers software that can be installed with
your mainboard. The Start Up program displays the drivers available for the particular model
of mainboard you own. We recommend that you only install those drivers.
However, to display the list of all drivers software available with SOYO mainboards, click the
Display all drivers on the SOYO CD button. Please make sure to install only the drivers
adapted to your system, or otherwise this cause system malfunctions.

to restart your system before they can become active.
Step 4. Enter the SOYO CD
Click the Enter SOYO CD button to enter the SOYO HTML database. The Start Up
program will activate the default HTML browser installed on your system (for example,
Internet Explorer or Netscape) to visualize the contents of the SOYO CD.
The SOYO CD contains useful information about your mainboard and other SOYO products
available in as many as eleven different languages. For your convenience, this information is
available in HTML format, similar to the format widely used on the Internet.
(SOYO CD HTML Database in English*)
(* The list of menu options may vary between languages)
Note: If no HTML browser is installed on your system, the Start Up program will prompt you
on whether or not you would like to install the Internet Explorer* browser. Click YES to install
the HTML browser. After the installation is complete, please restart your system. Then re-run
the SOYO CD and you will be able to browse the SOYO HTML database.

ESSCFG.EXE and ESSVOL.EXE
The installation of the driver will also install three files into the window’s directory:
ESSCFG.EXE, ESSVOL.EXE and ESSCFG.INI, ESSCFG.EXE, configures AudioDrive
chips to make them game-ready in DOS. ESSCFG.INI stores all the potential settings
available to your hardware ESSVOL.EXE sets the default mixer volume levels. The following
lines are also added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT by the driver installation program:
C:\WINDOWS\ESSCFG.EXE/A:220/I:7/D:I/B:330/J:E
C:\WINDOWS\ESSVOL.EXE/V:8/L:8/M:0/C:8/S:8/A:8
Depending on the capabilities of your hardware, the above statements may vary. The
ESSCFG settings are selected during the driver installation. If you wish to use different
settings at boot-up, use a text editor to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT and alter the settings as
you desire.
Note: Modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT file does not modify the settings for the Windows
driver. Run the Audio Applications Setup and uninstall and reinstall the driver or use Control
Panel in Windows Main to modify the driver settings. Refer to your Windows User Guide on
modifying driver settings. Modifying the driver settings under Windows via the Control Panel
does not update AUTOEXEC.BAT with the new driver settings.
Using the Configuration Utility in DOS
In DOS, you may change the configuration of the hardware without rebooting by using
ESSCFG.EXE. Type "ESSCFG" at the DOS prompt to run it. You will then be given
configuration options similar to the following:
Choose [1] to select a new interrupt (IRQ) channel.
Choose [2] to select a new DMA channel.
Choose [3] to select a new interrupt channel for the MPU401.
Choose [4] to select a new base address for the MPU401.
Choose [5] to enable or disable the joystick port.
