SUMMARY
The Standard Adlib card manufactured by Adlib Multimedia Incorporated cannot play or record .WAV files; it can play .MID files only.

MORE INFORMATION
The Standard Adlib card is a MIDI synthesizer. It cannot send MIDI information to an external device. This information applies to the Standard Adlib card only. The Gold Adlib card does support playing and recording .MID and .WAV files.

To make a Standard Adlib card play .WAV files, you must use a third-party sound driver. Availability and support for these drivers are the responsibility of the driver manufacturer. One such driver is ADLIBWV.DRV, which is available in the Intermission for Windows screen saver manufactured by Icom Simulations.
