The ASOUND.CVL file contained in this .zip file supercedes the file of the
same name contained on the Civilization distribution disks. Just copy it
into your Civ directory (you may want to rename the old file first).

The new file only fixes one problem: owners of newer YM262-based (4-op)
sound cards (Pro Audio Spectrum Plus/16 and new Sound Blaster Pros) have
only been hearing one channel of sound, sometimes with odd results.

Civilization was designed before these cards became available. Hardware
incompatibilities between the new and old boards prevented the old drivers
from working correctly on the new boards. When the new driver detects a new
card, and causes the music to be played back in mono, bypassing the stereo
incompatibilities.
