LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! SOUND?
ABSOLUTELY, WITH PRO AUDIO 16: THE OFFICIAL BOOK

Berkeley, CA -- Just as the days of silent movies are long past, so too is
the era of the silent computer. Sound card technology allows flight
simulators to pulse with fighter jet roars and weapon explosions. Graphic
presentations are enlivened with music. Computers say "hello" when turned
on. Taking advantage of this fabulous technology is not as easy as it may
seem, though. Osborne/McGraw-Hill helps readers get through the audio maze
with the publication of Pro Audio 16: The Official Book, by Ivan Luk and
David M. Golden.

Covering the entire family of Pro Audio products, the best-selling 16-bit
sound cards from Media Vision, Pro Audio 16: The Official Book introduces
readers to the world of sound card technology, including hardware
installation, sound basics, software, and enhancements.

With Pro Audio 16: The official Book, readers will get

* Comprehensive instructions and troubleshooting tips for hardware and
software installation, including a discussion of Windows drivers 

* Tips and techniques for solving joystick problems, interrupt conflicts,
and compatibility problems 

* Operating instructions for simplifying use of the software bundled with
the Pro Audio 16 family of cards 

* A 3.5" disk loaded with software designed to enhance the performance and
capabilities of the Pro Audio 16 cards 

* CD-ROM drive information covering everything from buying and installing
to configuration and troubleshooting

A survey of selected speakers, joysticks, and additional software for the
family of Pro Audio 16 cards is included to advise readers of the
available options and alert them about what to look for when making a
purchase. Multimedia upgrade kits, diagrams of different boards, and other
Media Vision products are discussed so users can start planning the system
that will meet their needs now and in the future.

Because of its "official" designation, Pro Audio 16: The Official Book has
Media Vision's full support and provides information unmatched anywhere.

questions and answers to the problems that Media Vision's tech support
staff encounters most often from callers, saving readers time and money.
