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:
“Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
