uniaud32-linux-4.0.9-20200816.zip works for me too.

Hi Paul

Have now tried uniaud32-linux-3.18.140-20200816.zip (Release) - causes system hang at boot when the startup sound should play.


Regards

Pete

> Creative SB Live! 5.1
> PMUniMax has also filled out with many sliders including ones for Surround+center playback, Front, Line2, LiveDrive, Coaxial,  headphone, but I have not tested any of them, yet.

Have now tested, controls and outputs for

  Wave Surround Playback Volume
  Center Playback Volume
  LFE Playback volume
  Front panel
  LiveDrive Playback (Line 1 and 2)
  Coaxial Playback
  Headphone

all work.

Hi All,

Prompted by Lewis reporting a problem with no sound on a newish laptop, I built uniaud32.sys last night for the first time since December 2015.

After managing to patch the realtek driver to add some additional chipsets which got Lewis sound, I got interested again in updating Uniaud.

As some may recall, way back when, I was updating the uniaud32 core with the latest ALSA code.... I got as far as ALSA 1.0.24 (released January 2011), but could never get ALSA 1.0.25 (released early 2012) to work. After that, the code was incorporated into the linux kernel, and it all got too hard. Plus, at the time, we still had the hangs with hda audio and I started running linux as my main OS.

Anyhow, after helping Lewis last night, I added the OS/2 patches to the linux kernel 3.0 code and got it building. This represents an alsa-kernel approximately 6 months newer that what's in the last uniaud32 release.

I've tested this in virtualbox with the Intel HDA driver and it still makes sound. That's about the level of testing I've done. I can't be bothered walking upstairs to grab one of the Thinkpads and test on other hardware.

Anyway...... link is http://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-3.0.zip

Feedback appreciated. If there's interest, I'll continue to try and update the code to hopefully fix upstream bugs and support newer hardware.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello Paul, everyone...

...uniaud32-linux-4.0.9-20200816.zip (Release) causes system hang at boot when the startup sound should play.

Card info for adapter 0:
  num: 0
  id: SB
  driver: HDA-Intel
  name: HDA ATI SB
  longname: HDA ATI SB at 0xfeb00000 irq 16
  mixer: Realtek ALC892
  componenets: HDA:10ec0892,104384fb,00100302
...

I tried the uniaud32-linux-3.18.140-20200816.zip here, seeing the same result Pete reported, that being a hard lock. In my case the only way to recover is through a power cycle, no other attempts work.

Have not tried any of the other releases, will hopefully get a little time today to do some catch-up. Attached the UniMix log from a working AOS driver config.

Code: [Select]
Number of CPU cores = 5
CPU name Not available
PMUniMix V0.82
Uniaud32.sys version = 202.6
Number of cards detected = 1
Using card number 0

Alright, tested the remaining two releases:

1) uniaud32-linux-4.0.9-20200816.zip
did NOT work, same HARD stop as with uniaud32-linux-3.18.140-20200816.zip

2) uniaud32-linux-3.16.85-20200812.zip
did work, appears to be fine, this release (as compared to the AOS one) added an extra control to my PMUnixMix, that being the Surround Sound. I have not gone through the unimix CLI yet to see the full list of controls.

I've attached the LOG out of the DEBUG version of this driver, my thinking being Paul that maybe that gives you some additional data capture to see why the newer drivers are failing with this hardware?

Thanks!

Thanks for the logs. As I mentioned, there are some hardware quirks missing in the newer builds - I'm 'hoping' there's one for our hardware and I can try enabling it and it fixes things.

I'll try and look at this this afternoon.

Cheers,

Paul

More tests...

Aureal Vortex au8820
Chip: Sigmatel STAC9701, 3, 4, 5


Now with Turtle Beach Montego based in Aureal Vortex 8820 ( first Montego soundboard). I have this board working in OS/2 Warp 4 with the driver Aureal_Vortex_AU8820_1-0.zip (more two necessary patches Aureal_Vortex_Patch.zip and Aureal_Vortex_AU8820x_Patch.zip, but working as expected)

I woud like to use this board with ArcaOS but not works with this driver. Really, this is one of OS/2 sound drivers not included in the list of available drivers in installation program of ArcaOS or eCS.

So, I decided to try Uniaud, as in my tests with linux live CD (Ubuntu 12.04-32bit-alsa 1.0.24 based) soundboard works ok.

Unfortunatelly, not good results...

At boot, similar for all versions of uniaud32.sys tried:

For Pete and Dariusz,

Hi Dariusz,

Alright, tested the remaining two releases:

1) uniaud32-linux-4.0.9-20200816.zip
did NOT work, same HARD stop as with uniaud32-linux-3.18.140-20200816.zip

2) uniaud32-linux-3.16.85-20200812.zip
did work, appears to be fine, this release (as compared to the AOS one) added an extra control to my PMUnixMix, that being the Surround Sound. I have not gone through the unimix CLI yet to see the full list of controls.

I've attached the LOG out of the DEBUG version of this driver, my thinking being Paul that maybe that gives you some additional data capture to see why the newer drivers are failing with this hardware?

Too help narrow things down.... can you test with http://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-3.17.8-20200823.zip ?

This time it's a TRAP 000E in UNIAUD32...see attached screenshot please, this was with the DEBUG version of the driver...should I try the RELEASE one?

Thanks,

uniaud32-linux-3.17.8-20200823.zip        TRAP -Very similar to the photo of Dariusz
uniaud32-linux-3.18.140-20200816.zip    Sound ok, volume ok, screen 16m. okay
uniaud32-linux-4.0.9-20200816.zip       Sound ok, volume ok, screen 16m. okay
All tests in debug mode.
The latest version 409, has a good thing, I can watch a video with background sound, and play the last two versions of the
 bubbels program, without crashing.
 I just need to be able to play a full game of manhjon, without surprises.
  Nice job.
