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 confirmation of Clarence Thomas, one of the most conservative voices to be added to the [Supreme] Court in recent memory, carries a sobering message for the African- American community.... As he begins to make his mark upon the lives of African Americans, we must acknowledge that his successful nomination is due in no small measure to the support he received from black Americans.”
—Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
