- 19. A system comprising:
a computer system including an audio generation module; media accessible by the computer system, the media including an identifier associated with one of plurality of audio output devices; the computer system configured to:
read the identifier from the media; select one of a plurality of sets of filter coefficients, the one of the plurality of sets of filter coefficients associated with the identifier; and provide the one of the plurality of sets of filter coefficients to the audio generation module for use with the one of the plurality of audio output devices.
- 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the computer system is configured to:
store the identifier in a memory location on the computer system prior to reading the identifier from the media.
- 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the media comprises a floppy disk.
- 22. The system of claim 20, wherein the media comprises a storage device located remotely from the computer system.
- 23. The system of claim 20, wherein the computer system includes a storage device, and wherein the storage device includes the memory location.
- 24. The system of claim 23, wherein the storage device comprises a non-volatile storage device.
- 25. The system of claim 19, wherein the computer system includes a basic input output system BIOS, and wherein the BIOS includes instructions configured to cause the computer system to:
receive the first identifier from the media; and store the first identifier in a memory location on the computer system.
- 26. The system of claim 19, wherein the computer system includes a file, wherein the file includes the plurality of sets of filter coefficients, and wherein the computer system is configured to select the one of the plurality of sets of filter coefficients from the file.
- 27. The system of claim 19, wherein the computer system is configured to select the one of the plurality of sets of filter coefficients from a file located remotely from the computer system.
- 28. The system of claim 19, wherein the computer system includes an audio driver, and wherein the audio driver includes instructions configured to cause the computer system to:
