Description (last modified by )
To my knowledge, there has been little to no success with any HDA hardware with any 1.1.4 build. It is not going to be made to work properly in this development path. The experimental 1.9.x builds from Paul, by the accounts I have read, generally work better, so it seems that branch fills the void left if we just take it out of 1.1.4. It is better, then, to have the driver refuse to work with HDA than to have it load and crash, freeze, stutter, and otherwise behave poorly. Particularly in a "stable" release.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I have done a build with HDA removed, and am awaiting testing just to be sure that the last line of Intel AC'97 hardware that works in 1.1.4 still does. In theory it should not make any difference, but we want to be sure.
Additionally, because 1.1.4 and ReSync share drv32 in common, this change affects ReSync, and I'm not completely decided how I want to handle it there, so let me think about that before I commit this.
