Subject: Gabriel Knight CD/GUS support?

I got a good deal on the Gabriel Knight CD, but before I buy it,
I wanted to know if it supports the GUS. Or what kind of hacking
you have to do to get it to work. What drivers does it use?

Is this in a FAQ or ftp archive somewhere?

Thanks,

Ken

Subject: GUS and OS/2 3.0 (WARP)

Well, after playing around with the beta of OS/2 v 3.0 (WARP), and hearing
that it would allow enhanced mode windows drivers, I eagerly awaited my
full copy of warp.  Yesterday I installed it, and was eager to try the GUS
through a Windows session.  Unfortunately, the familiar message appeared -
"ULTRASND.DRV requires enhanced mode to run.  Please run Windows in enhanced
mode...."   Windows was set for "enhanced compatibility mode" in the OS/2
windows settings.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Do any the DOS/Windows
AUDIO_ADAPTER_SHARED etc settings have any effect on this?  

This of course harkens back to the familiar complaint to Gravis about NOT
SUPPORTING OS/2 AS PROIMISED.

The ULTRA05E.ZIP  OS/2 GUS drivers seem to work fine (after very brief testing)
with Warp.

Subject: GUS and Windows 95?

Has anyone heard any rumours about Windows 95 being shipped with GUS drivers?
Or, alternatively, if Gravis are working on such drivers? Or are the good old 3.x drivers sufficient?

Subject: GUS Upgrade... What upgrade?

This is the first time I even heard of an upgrade from my regular 1M GUS 
to a GUSMAX.  What's the benefits of having a MAX vs my GUS?

Subject: new midi drivers

Hi,
	I'm fairly new to the GUS, having just got
a GUS MAX.

What I wanted to know is, in what way are people
getting a shit sound with the latest windows drivers.
They say their midi sound is awful, but surely the
sound cannot be affected by the drivers, as they can
only control the midi information. The sound is produced
on the card and is controlled by the windows driver.

Please can somebody clear this up for me.

Thanks
James Screaton

Subject: Ultrasound Experience Works!!

To all those claiming the UltraExp won't work...

Are you talking about the version that came in the cover-CD of this 
months issue of PC-ZONE mag?  (shouldn't matter where you got it, as long 
as it is the version that runs under windows 3.x, as that's the one I'm 
talking about).  To run, the UltraExp requires that a windows driver 
called CD-audio driver to be installed.  This driver !SHOULD! have been 
installed as default with windows with the rest of the CDROM drivers, but 
probably was not (as mine was not, can't explain why!).  Anyway, to get 
the Ultrasound Experience to work, go into Control Panel, click on the 
DRIVERS icon, select ADD DRIVERS, and add the CD-Audio driver.  It will 
prompt you for a Windows disk (disk 4, i think), so if your running a 
pirated copy, better get the disks back from your friend or whoever :-)
Restart windows after adding the driver, and voila!  No reason why it 
shouldn't work.

If you're running a version other than the one I mentioned, and my 
suggestions don't work...  then sorry, but you're on you own.  Mine works 
fine now (hell of a demo--  and to somebody who posted a couple days ago 
that Gravis probably enhanced the sounds on the CD to attract 
customers...  Do you have a GUS?  didn't think so..  If you did, you'd 
know that the MIDI files that are recorded on the CD actually sound 
BETTER when played on the GUS (yes, they came with the package)!

Subject: War Wizard & Gus -- No joy...

Has anyone managed to get War Wizard working with the GUS?  It uses the
DOS4GW 32-bit extender, but only supports SB, SB16, ProAudio, and
Adlib.  I have an older SBOS and Megaem, neither of which work for
this game (not terribly surprising).

There are some HMI*.386 files in the directory, but I'm not sure if
these are part of the HMI drivers everyones ranting about or not.  Any
help appreciated.

-Jon

hobbes.nmsu.edu, os2/2_1/drivers/ultra05e.zip.

Now, a NEWS BULLETIN:
If you read comp.os.os2.multimedia, you already know what follows.

I just finished getting GUS native DOS box GM emulation working for both
real and protect mode apps (including WinOS2).  The files required to
enable this feature in the soon to be released version 0.6a (ultra06a.zip)
are COMMERCIAL and will only be sent to registered users.  The base
package will still be freely distributable under the shareware concept.

Get those registrations in - you'll love what you hear.

Robert.
