Hi Sigurd,
Had a look at your logs, and from what I can tell, only the switch /A:2 is going to have a chance of working because the other two are HDMI ports which will not work with AOS (unless a video driver is created that supports it). Check your BIOS and see if there is a setting to use the RealTek audio on your computer (this is what /A:2 enables). Also check if you have a headphone jack, and see if you get sound there. It could be that some laptops use HDMI for their speakers so would force using external speakers or headphones with that unit with OS/2.
Regards,

A 'testlog uniaud' with the driver from the debug folder might give more clues.

Here is the Debug Uniaud Testlog.

Hi David,
thanks for looking into this. I will give your hints a try and report!
May take a day.
Thanks again!

Hi Sigurd!
Been very busy this fall with a variety of items but was looking in today and saw your post.

Further to Davids suggestions, I was wondering when you added the /A:2 switch to the UniAud 32 statement and ran PMUniMix. Does it show a variety of volume controls for your realtek card (I'm assuming you have PMUnimix installed)? If so, did adjusting the volume controls make any difference?
The reason I ask is because I ran into a problem where, installing Paul's latest UniAud driver of the day a couple of years ago, I could get no sound to play. Trying various methods of physical troubleshooting, no sound was still present at all.
So I skimmed a number of Linux forums for a week or so, researching problems with the drivers, and finally found a problem exactly like mine.
It seems that driver has a function embedded called AUTOMUTE. With the Realtek driver on my motherboard UniAud set the function to enable by default, essentially muting the sound through the chipset. Don't know if all Realtek sound chips operate in the same way.
Using the UNIMIX -names command (not PMUnimix), I was able to find the Automute ID for the sound system, and used UNIMIX to change the switch to "disable". Sound was perfect after that.
However, after reboot, sound again disappeared, and Automute needed to be disabled again. I created a file and added it to STARTUP.CMD so that the AUTOMUTE function was disabled automatically, upon every reboot.
Detailed instructions on how to do all that are present in the PDF attached called Testing Guide for UniAud32. It is the last version I created (v1.2) as I got too busy after that to do any more updates to a variety of Testing Guides.
Don't know if thats the problem your encountering, Sigurd, but if it is the suggestion may help out and Best!
Mark

Hi Mark,
thank you very much for your exzellent Tipps and Hints, as well as the PDF. Due to being busy I gave it all a first shot, found out there is with switch A:2 an "Auto mute" ID6, but had no luck so far.
I will come back to this later for sure, but this will take some weeks, as I have, besides my daily work, have to finish the 4th book of my nith-part fantasy Story. There is a new part each year, it should be ready at 24.9.24 (I have a faible for numbers, i.e. the first part is available since 21.9.21, the fifth will be at 25.9.25 and so on, German calender format) , so I have to Focus on this topic for the next couple of days.
It is free if charge, but unfortunately only available in German.
