Hi Pete,

That looks like a winner, thank you!   Removing numlock2.

What is NUMON.EXE? There is no such thing in ArcaOS. Report the problem, but they can't support everything that a user adds to the mix. Was that line in your original CONFIG.SYS?

This was in my config.sys when I upgraded from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5, but it only became an issue upgrading from 5.0.5 to 5.0.6. Numlock2 is licensed by Mensys and is not distributed by Arca Noae; it turns on numlock.

I just updated and now ANPM is broken.   When starting, ANPM prompts for my AN repository subscription IDs and PWs, and then throws a Python Error "The Python interpreter terminated with error code 123.   I also tried to rebuild the RPM database and received the popup error VX-REXX "DosConnectNPipe".

This issue was due to the installation process adding the following to my config.sys:

    SET COMSPEC=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /K C:\OS2\NUMON.EXE

This was derived from my existing entry:

    SET OS2_SHELL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /K C:\OS2\NUMON.EXE

Changing to the following resolved my error:

    SET COMSPEC=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE

Hi Lars,

Thank you very much for your help.

I think it would be better to spend your valuable time supporting more ubiquitous devices.  My bad luck for purchasing the one C-Media device that didn't work (I might use the CM6533 w. a Linux machine).  The other C-Media CM119 device is working beautifully with OS/2 and VMware passthrough.

<<One the other hand, that would not explain why you can successfully play other WAV files without any probs>>

Related to your observations, I think that lovely FEATURE is responsible for having my left channel often times disabled after booting into OS/2, providing sound only from my right channel.  I didn't experience this using Linux.  I did connect a microphone, but didn't hear it when playing a wav file.

My suggestion is for Martin to markup the device as not supported (or limited support).   If this is something you would like to support, I can test anything you send my way.

Hi Lars,

First, I want to thank you for making these drivers available.  It's great to have sound!

I restored the original wav files and connected the C-Media CM119 device I received today and all the wav files played without issue.  The CM6533 device was definitely the problem, likely due to being a synchronous device, as Wim pointed out. 

Using the CM6533, all the dsk_*.wav files would loudly hiss, with the intended sound being heard faintly in the background.

I have attached my lsusb output for the CM6533 device.

If worst comes to worst, there's always the option of upconverting the wav files to 44.1kHz.

For the moment, I like your suggestion and have transcoded all the files.  I first tried using Saracon, which couldn't read the files, but dBpoweramp had no problem.

I'll test my setup with the other C-Media adapter I have coming tomorrow to determine if the CM6533 is the problem.

Hi,

Wim, I generate the identical output, so it's the same.  I read that adaptive type devices run at exactly the speed the PC sends the data, within  their operating range, while synchronous devices slave to a provided clock signal and typically operate at fixed or a limited number of data rates.

Lars,  I am having problems with files having the following characteristics.

soxi dsk_opnw.wav

Input File     : 'dsk_opnw.wav'
Channels       : 1
Sample Rate    : 22050
Precision      : 16-bit
Duration       : 00:00:01.32 = 29216 samples ~ 99.3741 CDDA sectors
File Size      : 58.5k
Bit Rate       : 353k
Sample Encoding: 16-bit Signed Integer PCM

These work fine:

soxi applause.wav

Input File     : 'applause.wav'
Channels       : 1
Sample Rate    : 11025
Precision      : 8-bit
Duration       : 00:00:02.19 = 24091 samples ~ 163.884 CDDA sectors
File Size      : 24.1k
Bit Rate       : 88.4k
Sample Encoding: 8-bit Unsigned Integer PCM

There isn't a big selection of packages from which to choose while installing ArcaOS 5.0.5, I'm not sure what I might have missed.  I then applied your usbdrv234, following directions.

I have a C-Media CM119 device coming tomorrow.  That should tell me if it's something I borked during set up, or if it's a problem with the CM655 chip.

I will  add the UGREEN adapter (Model 30521)  (C-Media CM6533 chipset) 0d8c:0024 on the OS2World wiki.

You might want to wait as I'm still looking into resolving my issue with low bit rate WAV files.   Using a fresh ArcaOS install with Lars' latest drivers didn't resolve the issue, so either I'm doing something wrong, or the CM6533 is only partially supported.

Excellent, my first sounds from OS/2 under VMware!!!  I changed to the USB Audio 1.0 driver and then in Multimedia Setup, I deselected the UAC2 Adapter and selected the USB Adapter.  However, the dsk_*.wav files are distorted?

The UGREEN unit looks like a USB audio 1. Simple mono input, low quality stereo output.

USB Audio 2.0 looks like a DJ mixing station. In fact, I think that is what most of them are used for.

Thanks for the added info. The product description referred to a "Input USB 2.0 A" but was silent on the output.  Not knowing anything about USB audio, I assumed I needed a 2.0 driver.  I'll spend more time with a 1.0 driver.  If no joy, I'll order the SYB product which states it's "USB Audio Device Class Specification 1.0" and has a vendor/device ID that has been reported by Martin to work.

I'm looking forward to finally getting sound on VMware OS/2.  I thought I was stuck with broken virtualized audio and wasn't thinking USB passthrough until I saw these recent posts on USB audio.

1) Make sure you use the USB audio driver(s) from <DVD>:\CID\SERVER\ARCAPKG\USBAUD2.WPI. That is the one that gets installed with a NEW install. The other one, that gets installed with an UPDATE install is garbage.

Hi,

I purchased the UGREEN adapter (Model 30521) on Amazon which has a C-Media CM6533 chipset.  I believe it's a 2.0 device.  Linux identifies the hardware ID as 0d8c:0024.  Using the above audio drivers, I only receive white noise.  I have tried Lars' USBAUD2.SYS drivers and don't hear anything. I suspect this is a non-supported chipset.   

I see Amazon sells the Syba adapter (Model SD-CM-UAUD) that has the device ID 0D8C:0008 which Martin has identified to work.

I occasionally use OS/2 PMfax (Keller Group, v.3.2h), now freeware, w. a serial Courier modem.  It's an excellent application.    I was having an intermittent hardware issue with my serial port using Vbox, but no issues using VMware.

Sorry, Net Use is working on my AOS and thought you might have an issue with syntax.   Error 59 is an unexpected network error which often is the result of a security negotiation error.

If you are trying to connect to a Linux samba share, try adding "ntlm auth = yes" in your smb.conf global section, which allows security negotiation to start with NTLMv1 (and above).  If it's a Windows share, there's an older post on this forum describing the steps to modify Windows security.
