Resolution to Error Messages When Setting Up
The Ensoniq PnP Sound Card After Upgrading to Windows 95



The following error messages occur after upgrading from WFW3.11 to Windows '95 when using the PnP ENSONIQ sound card :

  • The Soundscape board was not detected. If this is a plug & play board make sure the DOS configuration manager driver DWCFGMG.SYS is in your CONFIG.SYS file. Press any key.....
  • The VSNDSCP.386 driver is not present or failed to load.
  • VSNDSCP.386 initialization error! VSNDSCP.386 was unable to locate the Ensoniq Soundscape hardware. Please check your software/hardware configuration and restart computer. Press any key to continue.

Resolution:

  • Right click on My Computer.
  • Click Properties and the System Properties screen appears.
  • Select the Device Manager tab and look for Unknown in the list. Remove any Ensoniq devices found here.
  • Click Sound, Video & game controllers from the list in Device Manager and click Remove.
  • Click the Refresh button and a Hardware Found message box appears.
  • Select Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer and click on OK. The driver is located on the Windows 95 CD under Drivers\Audio\Ensoniq\ensoniq.inf.
  • To finish setting up new hardware, restart the system. This initiates the install of the Soundscape Soundblaster emulation and a second restart of the system which installs the Gameport, Joystick (choose Windows Default drive).
