Common Questions & Answers
==========================

The following are questions to problems that may arise when using
VoiceAssist.

Q1. I can use Microsoft Window's SOUND RECORDER to record my voice
    using a microphone. However, when I try to run VoiceAssist for
    recognition, it gives the message "The sound input device is
    already in use". How can I make it run?

A1. If you are using a Sound Blaster compatible card, you can use the
    Wave driver for Sound Blaster 1.5 shipped with Windows 3.1.  If
    you are using a configuration software, make sure that you set
    your audio card to Sound Blaster compatible. In the Wave driver,
    the DMA and IRQ setting must match the settings on the Sound
    Blaster compatible card.


Q2. I am using the Turtle Beach MultiSound card. Although I can run
    VoiceAssist, I cannot do voice recognition using the microphone
    bundled with the VoiceAssist package. Why is it so?

A2. The audio jacks on the Turtle Beah MultiSound card needs an
    amplified line-in or amplified microphone input.  You need a
    microphone with amplifier to perform the recognition with your
    Turtle Beach MultiSound card.


Q3. I moved the VoiceAssist to the Start Up Window in order to launch
    VoiceAssist once I enter Windows. When entering Windows, after
    hearing the "Tada" sound, it gives the message "The sound input
    device is already in use". How can I overcome this ?

A3. To start VoiceAssist after entering Windows, you need to disable
    the Windows Start Sound. To do so, follow the steps below:

    a. Double click Control Panel from the Main group window. (The
       Control Panel window appears.)

       dialog box appears.)

Q4. How do I install the Sound Blaster 1.5 drivers shipped with
    Windows 3.1?

       Control Panel window appears.)
