As a minimum, I need to set the environment variables (ULTRASND and ULTRADIR) and run "ultrinit", as far as I've been able to see. Someone wrote me via email and said that someone from Parallax told them that their was a known bug in 1.0 that would be fixed in 1.1 for GUS and some other soundcards that caused this lockup. Is this true?? -Curt
