Uniaud release 1.0.9. for OS/2 4, 4.51/4.52 and eComStation 1.0 and 1.1 ======================================================================== Thank you for downloading Uniaud 1.0.9. Uniaud is still under development and we need your feedback to improve uniaud. Its very important that you also report soundcards that work! Uniaud is project created by InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH Uniaud is based on the Linux ALSA project. Uniaud supports a broad range of PCI audio cards/chipsets and AC 97 audio codecs. AC 97 audio codecs you will find in modern systems with a Pentium II or higher build onto the motherboard. AC 97 depends for a part of the motherboard chipset and a small audio codec. For an up to date list of supported chipsets please visit the website: http://os2.kiev.ua/en/uniaud.cards.php If you card is not supported at the moment updated can be found on: http://os2.kiev.ua/en/uniaud.download.php Uniaud in conjunction with the generic WIN/OS2 audio driver (now called DTA) you can get soundsupport in WIN/OS2: http://home.wanadoo.nl/rwklein/ F.A.Q. ===== Q. What is OS/2? A1. If You ask this You really don't need UniAud. A2. Go to: IBM or eComStation.com. Q. What is UniAud? A. The UniAud project is the universal audio driver for OS/2 or eComStation OS, based on ALSA project Q. On my great Thinkpad notebook everything detected ok, but sound plays only 1 sec.What have I do? A. Go to ThinkPad setup and Disable USB BIOS. Q. Uniaud detected my card successfully but no sound A. Try to install uniaud with amount of installed cards = 0 (see section below) reboot and then install uniaud with amount of cards = 1 Q. Uniaud detected my card successfully but when I try to play something I got error: MCI Error 5134: No device driver found. A. Replace :\MMOS2\MMPM2.INI with one, that comes with this pack reboot and reinstall Uniaud Q. Uniaud detected my card successfully but when I try to play something I got repeat sound. A. Make sure than your audio PCI device has exclusive irq (it is not necessary in meanwhile but some PCI devices cannot work on same shared irq). Useful tool for that: pci048vka.zip from http://hobbes.nmsu.edu How to install Uniaud ======================== Run minstall.exe and select "OS/2 Universal Audio:Wave". Click on yes or OK where requested. You will get 1 or 2 dialogs where you can toggle the amount of installed cards between 0 to 1. This is set by default to 1 don not change this setting. After minstall is finished reboot your system. If you are having loops in the sound (when audio is played). Or you get lockups of your system or a kerneltrap, do the following. Restart your system. And when in he upper left hand in the corner of the screen you see a white little blob. This little blob is shown before the boot logo (with the OS/2 or eComStation logo is shown). Press the key combination ALT F1. Then choose from the "Recovery Choices" choose "F5 full hardware detection". OS/2 Universal Audio Config.sys options: ======================================== DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS /V /C:CARDNAME - /V Verbose - /C:CARDNAME Where CARDNAME is : - SBLIVE : Sound Blaster Live! - CS4281 : Cirrus Logic CS4281 - ALS4000 : Avance Logic ALS4000 - CMEDIA : C-Media CMI8738, CMI8338 - ICH : Intel ICHx, NFORCE1/2/3 - CS46XX : Cirrus Logic CS4280, CS46XX - VIA82XX : VIA VT82C686A/B/C, VT8233A/C, VT8235 - ESS1938 : ESS Solo-1 (ESS 1938) - MAESTRO : ESS Maestro1/2/2E, TerraTec DMX - MAESTRO3 : ESS Maestro3/Allegro/Canyon3D-2 - YAMAHA : Yamaha YMF 724/724F/740/740C/744/754 - ENSONIQ : Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371/73, Creative Labs SB PCI64/128 - ALI5451 : ALI 5451 - TRIDENT : Trident 4D Wave, SI7018 Force detection of specified audio hardware DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS /V /C /M /L - /V Verbose - /C Enable CD output - /M Enable Microphone output - /L Enable Line-In output How to uninstall Uniaud ======================== Run minstall.exe and select "Uninstall OS/2 Universal Audio". That will do the following: 1.) delete all files that had been installed, except for libc06r1.dll as that file might be needed by other applications also 2.) REM out the DEVICE= statements for the Audio drivers in config.sys 3.) Remove the UniMixer folder and all its contents that had been created during installation 4.) Remove the installed audio devices from MMOS2\MMPM2.INI Reboot your machine. On next reboot, the locked files device driver (IBMCSFLK.SYS) will run to remove the installed files from your system. Remark: DO NOT attempt to run installation and selection of 0 installed cards as that will not properly deinstall UniAud. If already have minstall installed on your system and you are upgrading to a new release you don't need to uninstall the old version of Uniaud. How can I support the project ? ================================ We need your feedback. That is the first thing!
