ecs2.2 beta refresh

<< < (14/16) > >>

Dave Yeo:
What options are in our BIOS about the sound? Here I can disable or enable sound and when sound is enabled I also get a choice of basic sound which I'm using or (forget the exact term) multi speaker sound which I've never tried and I doubt that our Uniaud would support it, possibly reporting the same PCM error due to the number of channels. Have to test at some point.

Dave Yeo:
The option I was thinking of is something like "High Definition Front Panel Support" and now testing having it enabled Uniaud still works here so that guess is wrong. Still you should double check your BIOS

Joseph M. Kempf:
Thanks for entering the conversation Dave.

The eCS beta v2.2 is installed on an ASUS A88X-Plus and a MSI FM2-A75MA-P33.  Both motherboards use an AMD A10-6800K CPU with 4Gb of RAM.  No PCI or PCI-X cards have been installed on either board.  The on-board NICs work well, to my delight.  So does the on-board video.

Later today or this weekend I plan to methodically test all options such as swap in and try speakers that I know work on other devices.  I''ll systematically test all options on both motherboards with all BIOS options enabled and disabled. Yesterday however I physically tested sound on the front panel of the ASUS A88X and probed it with unimix.exe.  I tried front panel sound enabled and disabled.  I tried front panel AC97 sound enabled and HD sound enabled.  The system remained silent.

Do I read you response correctly Dave?  You have tested UNIUAD32 v2.02.01 on an ASUS A88X with front panel enabled for High Definition and you found that sound works?  Did you test it on a similar motherboard with High Definition enabled?   Should I focus on the High Definition BIOS option rather than the AC97 option?

Thanks for your time and answers you-all.

Joe

I tested on an Intel board. I thought the High Definition option wouldn't work here but it did. Different sound chip from you and no HD option here.

guzzi:
Is it possible to disable one of the sound chips in the bios? That's what I'd do as a start. Test both of them separately.
