Software Support
If software natively supports Soundscape, and many mid/late 1990s programs do, the card provides 16-bit stereo digital audio sampled at up to 48 kHz, along with the excellent General MIDI support. Ensoniq released drivers for many operating systems, including; IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT. Ensoniq later released Microsoft DirectSound-supporting drivers as well. In these operating systems, programs accessed the sound card through its driver, instead of directly, allowing full hardware support without the need for the software developer to support the card directly.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“The sceptics assert, though absurdly, that the origin of all religious worship was derived from the utility of inanimate objects, as the sun and moon, to the support and well-being of mankind.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
