UniAud "complete" package contains UniAud.DLL...

What should be done with the UniAud.DLL file?

The install/update instructions say to copy the two *.SYS
files [UniAud16 and UniAud32] to x:\MMOS2 directory.  But
there is no mention of the DLL file.  I assume it's there
for something, but what?

Sound lost when updating MPlayer

I recently updated MPlayer to the level contained in:
    mplayer-SVN-r33491-OS2-4_4_5.zip
because I had some videos that would not play at all.

The most recent date/time in that ZIP is:
     29-May-2011   12:44a
The ChangeLog indicated:
>MPlayer (1.0)
>  rc5:

The prior MPlayer was designated in the ChangeLog as:
>    MPlayer (1.0)
>      rc3: "BikeshedCounter" March 27, 2009

After the upgrade, a number of videos that would not play
with the older version will now play.  The BAD NEWS is that
the sound on ALL videos is now either gone or the volume is
so low that it is barely detectable.

I have tried several levels of UniAud**.DLL, but they made
no difference.  I am currently running:

Test build using ALSA 1.0.24

Hi All,

I've done a quick compile of Uniaud32 using the ALSA 1.0.24 code.

None of this is checked into SVN right now, and as I had to comment out 
some code to get it compiling (while I investigate further), it is 
considered to be very beta :)

Having said that, it produces sound on my Thinkpad T60, and in my eCS 
2.0 environment under Virtualbox.

URL is http://smedley.info/uniaud32-20110722.zip

Feedback always welcome,

Paul

Repeating end of startup sound problem seems resolved

Hi All

When reporting the latest failures with acpi v3.19 builds I was advised 
that failure to boot was the result of using BootableJFS.

I changed my boot drive to use HPFS.

No, it does not cure any acpi problems.

However, Since changing to HPFS just over 2 weeks ago I have not had 1 
instance of the end of the startup sound getting stuck in a repeat loop 
- I would have expected a couple of instances at least during that time.

So, anyone else that has the startup sound problem and is booting from a 
JFS boot drive may want to try swapping to HPFS to see if it resolves 
that problem.

Regards

Still awaiting Davids response

Hi David

I've asked in this mailing list several times and in the uniaud bug 
tracker and you have not bothered to reply to my question asking for 
clarification of the hardware involved in your claim that uniaud 
195-1924 works "perfectly" with an nVidia MCP61.

I can only presume that you either cannot be bothered to clarify this or 
that you have not tested your builds on an MCP61.

Either way uniaud builds 195-1924 and and 195-1924 are not of any use on 
an MCP61 chipset here; nor are the 195-211/212 builds.

So, how do I get support for my hardware added to your uniaud builds? - 
bit difficult to communicate when you cannot be bothered to reply.

Regards

Rejected emails

Hi

Could whoever maintains this mailing list please remove 
v.nekhvyadovich <at> chandler.de as it seems that email address is no longer 
valid.

I say this because I am getting rejected email sent to me everytime that 
a message is posted in this list.

Anyone else seeing this? - just for confirmation.

Regards

Initialization failed: codec is not ready > hang during boot

I have an intermittent problem with booting eCS 2.0 Silver on a system 
with a Tyan S2895 Thunder K8WE motherboard. This board uses a Nvidia 
nForce 4 chipset, with an AC'97 Audio controller.

I have filed a bug report, #198, on the Netlabs bug tracker.

The following error messages appear during boot:

Universal Audio Driver for OS/2 and eComStation v1.9.24-SVNr542
  Based on ALSA 1.0.21
  Copyright 2005-2010 Netlabs http://www.netlabs.org
  Copyright 2000-2010 The ALSA Project

  ERROR: Initialization failed
  OSS32_Initialize. FAILED<3>codec_ready: codec is not ready [0x700100]
                           H:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS

UNIAUD32.SYS then fails to load and the boot process hangs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Uniaud and multiple audio devices

Hi all,

latest Uniaud versions correctly detect multiple audio adapters (see
http://trac.netlabs.org/uniaud/ticket/160 ) but unfortunately there is
no way to decide which adapter to use if both your adapters use the same
driver.
Is there any idea for a substitute of /C:CARDNAME switch, that is so
limited?
Otherwise, can't we kill in the meantime the support for audio adapters
from well-known video card producers, like ATI? It seems to me that this
approach would fix the problem with video cards having audio devices on
board.

Please correct me if I'm wrong and thanks!

T21 and problems

I have been using an ancient version of uniaud on my T21 with an Intel
82801CA-ICH3 sound. Mixer is Cirrus Logic CS4299. ECS is 1.15.

Most of the time sound plays OK, I don't use system sounds. PM123 
works most of the time but Mplayer often goes into an endless 
"stutter" when playing video. I have noticed that I get a crackle when
moving the mouse. There are 3 devices sharing IRQ5 Int #B:

Intel 82801	 - SMBus controller
		- Sound

Cardbus controller.

I guess an IRQ needs changing? But not sure how. No ACPI.

Tried the latest uniaud GA and much worse. :-(

TIA

Test Uniaud 195-211

Hello All;
	I am testing this on an Asus M4A87TD EVO motherboard and eCS 2.0 Gold
(without acpi.psd installed). Bios reports Azalia for sound system, and
I can choose HDA or AC97 for front audio which must match the front case
audio header. Mine is set to AC97.
	At boot Uniaud reports:
Uniaud v2.1.1-BetaSVN536
HDA ATI SB at 0xfe6f8000 irq 10
Detected Mixer: VIA VT1818S

	I have sound but UniMixerPM only sees the line in and mic line all
other options are grayed out.
	I am unable to boot with any acpi.psd statement and a uniaud32 (or 16)
statement in config.sys. System does not trap, but after loading
UNIAUD32.SYS, the system slows down and continues to load very slowly
for 10  min. eventually stopping all together and never boots to desktop.
	Without acpi.psd the system boots to Desktop in less than 2 min. but no
APM. Sound and all usb ports work.
	Without uniaud drivers the system boots with "acpi.psd /smp /cd /r" in
about 3.5 min. It slows down when it comes to USBRESMG.SYS, but does
boot to Desktop. No sound, but 4 cores and working usb.
Thanks for the great work. I look forward to testing the next release.
