Sound
If you have a sound card installed, but you don't hear any sound or music,
or if you get the error message, "A MIDI device is not available or MIDI
Mapper is not configured properly. Music will be disabled until you exit
The Yukon Trail," you may not have installed the drivers for your card. To
install the sound drivers for your sound card, follow the manufacturer's
instructions. (As a part of the Windows installation, the following sound
drivers are installed: MIDI Mapper, Timer, [MCI] MIDI Sequencer, and [MCI]
Sound.)
To test your sound card and sound driver:
1. Go to Windows Program Manager. Open the Main group.
2. Double-click on Control Panel. Then double-click on MIDI Mapper.
3. Open the Name listing and select a name which includes the letters
"FM" or "Ext FM." Then click on Close.
4. Select the Program Manager File menu and select Run.
5. Type MPLAYER canyon.mid in the Command Line box and click on OK.
Then, click on the Play button (the lower left button) to play the music.
If your sound drivers are installed properly and the correct MIDI Mapper is
selected, you should hear the song. If you don't hear the song, contact your
computer or sound card manufacturer for setup instructions. If you can play
the canyon.mid song in the Media Player, start The Yukon Trail. If Music and
Sound in the Game menu have check marks next to them, you should hear the
sound and music for the program. Or, it is also possible that your MIDI
device may be in use by another appllication. Try quitting other applications
and then run The Yukon Trail again.
