Configuring sound for the DOS version of Red Alert:
---------------------------------------------------

NOTE: If you are running the Win95 version of the game, all you need to do
      is set the "Card" value in your REDALERT.INI to 0. The Win95 version
      uses DirectSound, and relies on your Windows settings for sound.
      Make sure you have the newest version of DirectX installed.


   If you are having problems running the SETUP program to configure your
   sound card for Red Alert, try the following 3 steps:

    1. Copy the NOSOUND.INI file included in this release over your existing
       REDALERT.INI file. Run SETUP again and see if it works. If not...

    2. Try running SETUP.EXE in DOS and under Win95. Make sure when you
       try running in DOS mode that you have no conflicting drivers that
       may cause a problem. If it STILL doesn't work...

    3. Manual edit the REDALERT.INI file and fill in the appropriate
       sound card information: Card, Name, Port, IRQ, DMA and
       BitsPerSample. Use the following chart to locate the proper
       Card and Name ids for your sound card. Note that this should ONLY
       be used as a last resort...usually SETUP.EXE fails for a reason.

       Sound Card               Card        Name        BitsPerSample
       --------------------------------------------------------------
       Sound Blaster            e000         86              8
       Sound Blaster Pro/Pro2   e00f         87              8
       Sound Blaster 16/AWE-32  e017         89              16
       Pro Audio Spectrum Plus  e003         109             8
       Pro Audio Spectrum 16    e004         102             16
       Ensoniq Soundscape       e01f         103             16
       Roland RAP-10            e022         90              16
       Microsoft Sound System   e00d         106             16
       Gravis Ultrasound Max    e029         100             16
       ESS Audiodrive           e01b         108             16
       Cardinal Sound Studio    e009         98              16
       Gold Sound Standard      e00a         94              16
       No Digitized Sound        0           75              0

       e.g. If you have a Sound Blaster Pro and your settings are Port
            220, IRQ 5, DMA 1, you would change the following REDALERT.INI
            fields to read:

      Card=e00f
      Port=220
      IRQ=5
      DMA=1
      Name=87
      BitsPerSample=8

   If you have any problems with the game, try reading the README.TXT file
   and checking Westwood's WWW site.
