<strong>Stammering</strong> <strong>Research</strong>. Vol. 1.<br />

Execute the setup.exe file by double clicking on it. This will launch the installation program. The<br />

installation wizard will guide you through the installation process. You will have to accept the license<br />

agreement, select the destination directory and specify whether or not you wish to create the desktop<br />

icons for the application. If you are not sure what to enter in the installation wizard screens then just<br />

press the “Next” button on every screen and the program will be installed to the default directories.<br />

After the program is installed you can either delete the setup.exe file or save it in case you have to<br />

reinstall the program.<br />

Connect your headset to the computer and run the DAF/FAF Assistant. If you have the registration<br />

key then press “Enter Key” button and type your registration information. If you don’t have the<br />

registration key then press “OK” button. You can register the program and enter the registration key<br />

later.<br />

Press the Start button and make sure that you hear your voice when you speak. Try making different<br />

settings for the Delay and Frequency Shift and check your voice is changed correspondingly. If you<br />

hear your changed voice then you have successfully installed the DAF/FAF Assistant.<br />

If you start the application and get the error message “Could Not Initialize DirectX” then you will<br />

have to install the DirectX component on your computer. Open the following link<br />

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads/ and follow the instructions to download and<br />

install the latest version of the DirectX. You will have to reboot the computer after you have installed<br />

the DirectX.<br />

If you start the application and get the error message “Could Not Create Record Buffer” then you<br />

most likely have a sound card that does not support full-duplex mode. If the sound card does not<br />

support full-duplex mode you can either try to find updated drivers from the sound card manufacturer<br />

or consider upgrading your sound card.<br />

If you started the application and did not have any error messages but still you do not hear your<br />

voice or you hear your voice without any delay or pitch shift then you have to adjust your sound system<br />

settings. (See: Configuring sound card.)<br />

The FAQ section on http://www.artefactsoft.com contains additional information on errors.<br />
