[SOLVED] OS/2 Warp 4.52 VM, changing audio to Uniaud

[Pete]

Hi Martin

The choice of SB driver packages should be in [CD/DVD]:\CID\SERVER\MMOS2\DRIVERS

Hi Pete

I can not find that MMOS2 directory on the Warp 4.52 CD.

Hi

I installed the Warp 4.52 Sound Blaster driver when I created the image with the "Warp 4 Setup and Installation". I search on the CD if there was the Sound Blaster driver alone with the .scr file and I was not able to find it.  Any other tip?

Regards

I Martin, my case of Uniaud installation has the final step to go in the Multimedia Setup panel from System Setup folder. There I found the new tabs for UniAud Wave2 and UniAud Midi 2.  By checking their enabling checkbox you exclude the default Digital and Midi device previously enabled and I think (guess) they mean SB system. That has made Uniaud Drivers having effect on the multimedia system.  Even if, as told in previous post, the resulting sound isn't accettable.

Can't you just use selective install to uninstall the drivers?

Hi Pete

I can not find that MMOS2 directory on the Warp 4.52 CD.

You can not its not there... Well it it. It still lives in pack file in \os2image. In eCS and ArcaOS there is \MMOS2 directory.

Hi Martin,

  Strange there is no folder with the soundblaster drivers... I guess you will have to find the original driver package and use that (maybe at Hobbes - or on the OS/2 Warp disk you used?). Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder with the soundblaster install files, then run Minstall there. Use '0' (zero) for the number of cards in order to remove it.

Regards,

Correct you are one of the few OS/2 users that know the above :-)

Thanks David.

I will try with MInstall first. Are you referring the one from Martin Kiewitz or the IBM one?.

It seems that modifying the INI directly, with all the stuff it has there, it will be long and hard.

To get rid of soundblaster:
0) BACKUP MMPM2.INI
1) in section [Drivers], remove from "Waveaudio=": IBMWAVESB01
2) in section [Drivers], remove from "Sequencer=": IBMSEQSB01
3) in section [Drivers], remove from "Ampmix=": IBMAMPMIXSB01
4) remove sections [IBMWAVESB01],[IBMWAVESB01-PLAY],[IBMWAVESB01-RECORD]
5) remove section [IBMSEQSB01]
6) remove section [IBMAMPMIXSB01]
7) check section [defaultnames], if any of the above driver names appear, remove that entry

Hi

Thanks for the feedback

I got that the trick was to use eCS or ArcaOS CD and I found the SB16D2 Driver to "reinstall with zero adapters". Rebooted.
I did that and I think it worked because some of the things on the MMPM2.INI that Lars listed were removed.

Now I installed UniAud "Uniaud-20211023.exe" rebooted and got no audio at all.
The config.sys now has
DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS /V
DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS /C
It recognize the HDA Intel at IRC 11. Sigmatel STARC9221 A1  on boot.

I'm still not sure what is still missing. I'm attaching the MMPM2.INI file.

[Lars]

Your MMPM2.INI does not contain any entries regarding UNIAUD. No surprise that it does not work. Rerun the installation.

[Martin Iturbide]

SUCCESS !!! Thanks to all.

I think now I got the full procedure:

1) Uninstall the Sound Blaster driver with MINSTALL from the eCS or ArcaOS CDROM image.
From: [CD/DVD]:\CID\SERVER\MMOS2\DRIVERS

2) Install the Uniaud Drivers using the WarpIn procedure

3) Install the Uniaud Drivers with MINSTAL from C:\MMOS2\INSTALL\UNIAUD

It think this is the procedure. I will keep testing the audio on the machine.

Thanks to all again.
