UniAud Information

Description
The aim of the UniAud project is the creation of universal audio driver based on ALSA project.

UniAud supports a broad range of PCI audio cards/chipsets and AC97 audio codecs. AC97 audio codecs can be found in modern systems with a Pentium II or higher processor on the motherboard. AC97 depends for a part of the motherboard chipset and a small audio codec.

Features

 * PCI sound cards support (see. soundcards page)
 * Digital Controllers support (for AC'97 codec)
 * AC'97 codecs support
 * auto detect of installed audio card

Supported hardware
The table below lists all devices (cards, hosts, codecs) that are currently supported by the latest release of UniAud. A brief explanation:


 * VenID: displays the hexadecimal Vandor ID that identifies the Manufacturer.
 * DevID: displays the hexadecimal Device ID that identifies the product in the product line of the manufacturer. This and the above details are interested when trying to determine which chipset your soundcard has. In order to find that out, use [/index2.php?url=os2/pci.htm pci.exe].
 * Status:
 * The device is working very good ([[Image:check.gif]]);
 * The device is just working acceptible ([[Image:conf.gif]]);
 * Working, but there are still some bugs ([[Image:confl.gif]]);
 * Support for the particular device is in development ([[Image:att.gif]]);
 * This device is not supported yet, but is planned to be supported in near future ([[Image:nope.gif]]).
 * IBM: A [[Image:checkbl.gif]] means that this device is supported by the IBM Universal Audio Driver version 1.1.
 * Config.sys switch: the string to replace CARDNAME by in the statement DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS /V /C:CARDNAME in your config.sys.
