GWDTA.SYS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:10, 2 February 2019

Generic Win-OS/2 audio driver. Works under DOS for Win-OS/2 sessions. GWDTA.SYS is the Ring 0 DTA component driver.

DEVICE=GWDTA.SYS <parameters>

Parameters

The following parameters are accepted by the DTA support driver GWDTA.SYS on the load line in the CONFIG.SYS.

DEVICE=GWDTA.SYS

/Q: Load quietly

/B: N; Range: 2>n>16; Set default requestor buffer number

/S: M; Range: 1024>m>16384; Set default requestor buffer size

/P: <pddname>; Range : PDDNAME<8chrs

_ Add an audio PDD to the DTA that is not specified in MMPM/2. Up to five different /P:<pddname> may be specified, and they will appear before the MMPM/2 devices in the order specified. Duplicates will be ignored but their presence will be flagged│ to the user. If the PDD does not exist the name will be retained but it will be marked invalid.

_ Note that VGENAUD.SYS uses the first valid PDD in the list harvested by GWDTA, unless a different name is specified on the VDD command line (see VDD: VGENAUD.SYS). For most uses where it is desired to use the primary MMOS/2 soundcard for WinOS/2, this option can be ignored.

/N: Do not scan MMPM/2 for devices - only use those specified on the command line. This option is not normally required.

Platform Support:
OS/2 2.x	OS/2 3.0	OS/2 4.0	OS/2 4.5x
