Hey Martin,
Thanks - I'll see if I can reproduce with the release version tonight, and try and debug it.
Looks like it's trapping in a similar spot to the initial 5.15.59 build - during the initialisation of the hardware.
Cheers,
Paul.
Hi Paul!
Hope your having a fine day!
I've been off-line for most of the last 4 weeks, as our summer up here is pretty short, and lots of work to do around our quarter acre, as with every summer. But saw you were updating the UniAud32 builds at the moment, and thought I would chime in with my test results as well.
I wasn't one of your original "Merry Men" that have helped out so extensively with the testing, but I did post a full report of my findings on two of my systems back on March 1 when your development build 5.14.7 and the HDMI version of same was last released, and you took a well deserved hiatus (as a result I won't repeat all that, as you can reference back to it in the forum here, with the detailed data and TestLog attachments).
At the time I found that I was able to get that build working perfectly on one of my systems (MANTICORE II) using that version of the driver with a ASUS M3N-HT Motherboard and the on-board ADI AD1988B BH 8 Channel High Definition audio chipset.
However, I was unable to get any sound on the other system (HYPERFIRE) which has an F1- A75V Motherboard equipped with an ALC892 8 channel HDA chipset, using the March releases of UniAud32. On that system, the chipset (Adapter 0) generates no sound but PMUnimix v0.8.2 reports all 9 normal volume sections - putting sound volumes to the max produces no sound. Sound is generated using the UniAud32 version that comes with the ArcaOS package. Tested both the release and debug versions at the time.
Moving on to your latest package (5.15.59b) I have the same results to report - MANTICORE II works well with the latest version, but 5.15.59b still does not generate any sound on HYPERFIRE, using the on-board chipset.
In the March tests I also used the /a:2 switch to address Soundblaster cards I also have installed on each system, which up to this point could only be used in Windows - In MANTICORE II, I have a Soundblaster Recon3D / Z-Series Sound Card, while HYPERFIRE has a Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Series Sound Card.
I have not tried these cards yet with the new UniAud32 build, but previously HYPERFIRE and the Soundblaster X-Fi reported 6 volume sections under PMUnimix but no sound. MANTICORE II and the Soundblaster Recon3D reported under PMUnimix the Master Playtback Volume with sound present after a cold reboot, but it did not control the sound. Sound was only present from the front speakers of a speaker set consisting of two front, two rear and one bass speaker. I needed to turn down the hardware speaker volume, as no software sound control seemed to be present.
I have not tested the Soundblasters with 5.15.59b as of yet - will possibly try that later today.
Let me know if you want any further information, Paul, related to the items above, if it would be of any help in development, and thanks for the yeoman's work you've put into advancing development of UniAud32.
As always and Best, Sir!
Mark
