Setting the DSP card DIP switches

Once the software is installed, it needs to be correctly configured for the hardware installed in the PC. Each DPU card has a bank of DIP switches which allows it's "base address" to be selected and to allow it to be distinguished from the other DPU cards installed in the system. Settings are as follows...

MediaMatrix Software

The MediaMatrix software must be configured to match the DIP switch setting of the DPU card(s) installed in the PC. From the Tools menu select Options..., select the Sound Engine page, and select the correct base address from the Hardware Base Address list box. You will be informed that you must restart the application for the change to take effect.
