2.1. Before Installation

1.) Installing MachOne PCI PCI sound card is simple and straight forward.
However, if you are not familiar with your system, please consult your dealer
or computer manufacturer for assistance.

2.) Make sure Windows 95/98, or Windows NT4.0 is installed and functioning
properly

3.) No other sound device is plugged in and installed. If an other audio chip is
built-in with your system board, try to disable the built-in audio in the BIOS.

MachOne EV1935 PCI Sound Card Configuration/Hardware

2.2. Handling the PCI Sound Card

WARNING: Static electricity can damage your equipment. Do not take the

card out of its static protective bag until you are ready to work with it.

Follow these precautions when handling the card:

• Before you open the static protective bag, touch it to a metal expansion slot
cover on the back of your computer. This drains static electricity from the
package and from your body.

• Do not touch any exposed printed circuitry after opening the package.

• Keep other people from touching the card. They might have a static-

electricity build-up.

• Limit your movement. Movement causes a build-up of static electricity.

2.3. Installing the PCI Sound Card

Step 1. Turn off the system and all peripheral devices.
Step 2. Disconnect the power cord and all peripheral devices from the

system.

Step 3. Remove the system cover and identify an unused PCI slot.
Step 4. Unscrew the slot cover plate, plug in the PCI Sound Card, and tighten

it with the screw.

Step 5. If you have a microphone, plug the respective cable into the J2 Jack

on the back of the Sound Card.

Step 6. If you have speakers or amplifiers, plug the cable into the J4 Jack on

the back of the Sound Card.

WARNING! To avoid temporary or permanent hearing loss or impairment due to

unexpected noise or static, always hold your headphones away from
your ears before turning on the computer. You should also lower your
speaker's volume before testing.

Step 7. Please plug the cable for your MIDI/Joystick device into the J5 Jack

on the back of the PCI Sound Card.

Step 8. Depending on what type of CD Audio cable you have connect J10 or

J11 on the Sound Card and the Audio output at the back of the CD-

ROM drive. Make sure pin 1 of J10 or J11 is connected to the leftmost
pin of the CD-ROM Audio output.

Step 9. Put back the system cover, reconnect the system power cord and all

peripheral devices. Check and make sure all connections are correct
before you turn on the system.

3.4. Trouble Shooting/FAQ

1. System does not detect the device upon reboot in
Windows 95/98 or NT4.0

Windows NT4.0 does not support Plug-and-Play feature. Thus, if you are using
Microsoft Windows NT4.0, you need to add the device manually by following the
steps in the Windows NT4.0 Driver Installation section.
However, if you are using Windows 95 or Windows 98 it is abnormal for the system not
to detect the device. Check if the card is properly installed in the PCI slot.

2. There is no sound after driver installation

• Check whether the speaker connector is in the proper Line/Speaker Out jack.

• If you are using powered speaker (non-passive speaker), check whether the speaker

is powered on, and the speaker volume control enabled.

• Check the five MachOne devices in Device Manager, Control Panel. If you have a
non-PnP device, such as an old network card, you might find an exclusion mark on
the conflicted MachOne device. Please consult the non-PnP device manual to
change the occupied resource.

3. How to control the volume if using passive speakers, which do not
support volume control on speakers

You need to install the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 volume control. To install,

3.1 Go to “Start” ⇒ “Settings” ⇒ “Control Panel”, and open the “Control Panel” window.

3.2 Double-click on the “Add/Remove Programs” icon.

3.3 In the “Add/Remove Programs” window, select the “Windows Setup” tab.

3.4 Highlight “Multimedia”, then click on the “Details …” button.

3.5 Select the “Volume Control” option. Click on OK.

MachOne EV1935 PCI Sound Card Configuration/Hardware

3.6 System will prompt you for the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 installation disk.

3.7 After installation, double-click on the “Speaker” icon on the Windows taskbar
(usually located at the bottom of your screen). The “Speaker” icon is located in the
right corner of the Windows taskbar. The “Master volume” control window is shown
as follows.

4. The joystick/game pad is not working

• Check whether the gaming device is connected to the MIDI/Game Port properly.

• Check the MachOne MPU401 device. There should be no exclusion or error mark on

the device. Please consult the driver installation section.

• Check whether the driver for the gaming device is loaded and functioning properly.
To check,

4.1 Go to “Start” ⇒ “Settings” ⇒ “Control Panel”, and open the “Control Panel”
window.

4.2 Double-click on the “Game Controllers” icon.
