Installation
- Be sure no software that uses audio is running in the background. This can interfere with Virtual Audio Driver installation.
- MDPS requires .NET framework 4.5.1. Download it here if it is not already installed.
- Launch the MDPS installer:
- MDPS will be added to the Startup folder by default. Uncheck this option if you do not wish to have MDPS launch when the computer is started.
- Reboot is not required.
- The MDPS application will launch after installation.
Using MDPS
- First, turn MDPS processing on by clicking the “B” logo or the DPS ON switch.
- Test the system using the BUILT-IN output device category. DPS Profiles (sound settings) in this category have the greatest volume boost so it is very easy to verify the effect is working.
- Play any audio file on the Windows system. You should hear the audio effect change when turning DPS processing on and off.
- You will know audio is passing through MDPS when the Audio Visualizer is moving with the sound.
- Click the SETTINGS tab:
Profile Selection
- Click the PROFILE drop-down menu to choose a DPS Profile:
- Volume Boost – This profile amplifies the overall volume level.
- Mode 1 – Less boost but more low frequencies.
- Mode 2 – More boost but less low frequencies.
- Transcription – Transcription profiles seek to maximize speech intelligibility of voice recordings.
- Mode 1 – Less boost but more natural voice sound.
- Mode 2 – More boost with emphasis for quiet recordings.
- VoIP – These profiles make voice conferencing more intelligible. BUILT-IN and EXTERNAL modes do not have loud volume boost to allow echo cancellation to function normally. HEADPHONES mode has more processing to keep voices at a comfortable and consistent volume.
- Mode 1 – Normal mode.
- Mode 2 – Enhanced mode.
- Heart and Lung – These profiles allow signals from electronic stethoscopes to be heard on small speakers. MDPS is listed FDA Class 1.
- Mode 1 – Normal mode.
- Mode 2 – Volume boost mode.
- Volume Boost – This profile amplifies the overall volume level.
NOTE: The OUTPUT category is not necessarily fixed to specific hardware. You may find the Volume Boost profile in the BUILT-IN category works best for a particular headset. Just set the output device in the BUILT-IN category to your headphone output.
MDPS will remember all settings for each OUTPUT category.
