Sound Resources for ECE 291

Here are some documents and programs for creating sound. Some of these are applicable to the machines we have in the lab, and some are not. Not all have been tested.

John Ratcliff's interrupt-installable, DOS audio drivers:

• DIGPAK: Digital Audio Sampling (Playback/Recording)
  Use of Digpak for ECE291 final projects is prohibited!
  Your code should program the DMA/DSP directly.
