Lion King 1.0: ESS AudioDrive Hardware Not Responding (134477)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134477 SYMPTOMS
When you install The Lion King version 1.0 on a computer that has an ESS
488 sound card and is running Windows 95, you may receive the following
error message:
The ESS AudioDrive hardware is not responding properly. Sound playback
and recording will not be available.
CAUSE
There is an incompatibility between the ESS 488 16-bit driver and the 16-
bit file architecture that The Lion King employs. Although Windows Audio
Compression Manager is capable of translating 16-bit files and playing them
correctly, The Lion King does not recognize the translation and incorrectly
states that the sound card is not responding properly.
RESOLUTION
Contact the manufacturer for an upgrade of The Lion King.
MORE INFORMATION
This problem does not occur if The Lion King version 1.0 is installed in
Windows version 3.x, and then later upgraded to Windows 95.
