Windows 95 with Apricot Business and Professional Audio

The Apricot Business and Professional Audio systems (as found on the LS Pro (Bonsai) and XEN-LS II) is not recognised by Windows 95, and there are currently no plans to develop Windows 95 drivers for these devices. It is however possible to install the Windows 3.x drivers that currently exist for these devices. Go into control panel, select the add new hardware icon, click next, select no to let Windows 95 search for new hardware, select sound video and game controllers, and then select have disk. Insert the Apricot Network and Audio Drivers Disk and install the appropriate driver from the list.

With Windows 95 and the Business Audio drivers (on LS Pro [Bonsai]), some sounds will play incorrectly (loud static) when the system is busy, especially on early systems with CL5410 video hardware using the Windows 3.x video drivers.

Also, when configured with the Business and Professional Audio drivers, or for that matter any Windows 3.x audio drivers, Windows 95 will not display any mixer tools in the toolbar, and the Windows 95 mixer application will not work with the Windows 3.x drivers. The only way to get mixer functionality is to use the Windows 3.x mixer applications supplied with the relevant drivers.
