Support for multiple cards

Description
When more than an audio adapter is present in the system (that could be not so unusual in the future, as seems that more and more graphic adapters have audio onboard!!) please add a way to specify *which* is the audio adapter to use.
Specifying DEVICE=G:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS two times, like you do for network adapters, doesn't work here.
On this subject, this page exist:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards
but most of it is obviously Linux stuff.
Bye Gabriele

Can you please send me a log using uniinfo for the booted system with latest uniaud?
I'd like to see what is detected, so I can start thinking of how command line parameters could work

From yesterday's conversation with Mr. Smedley: "It seems the os2 specific functions to support pci device detection only allow one device to be detected. See pci_register_driver() in lib32\pci.c".

Booting with uniaud32-20090621-debug.zip: 2 adapters recognized!
comment:4 by , 15 years ago
From alsahlp.log, using debuginfo_uniaud32-20090621-debug.zip:
"Uniaud version 1.9.16-SVN r447+
...
found: 10de, id: 371 idx 0
...
found: 1002, id: aa30 idx 0"
First one is the ATI HDA, second one is Nvidia HDA :-)

FWIW - Changeset 452 is what resolved the pci_register_driver() issue with only detecting one device.
The next trick is to allow uniaud16 to talk to either/both devices

Can you please generate alsahlp$ with http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090625-debug.zip

Unfortunately I can't: system doesn't boot with uniaud-20090625-debug.zip (Alt-F2 says it hangs at or just after uniaud32.sys).
If in the bios I disable Nvidia HD, system boots regularly but network works in intermittent way (maybe an ACPI problem? network adapter driver is GenMAC).
comment:8 by , 15 years ago
Can you please test with: http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090626-debug.zip & http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090626a-debug.zip
To see which fixes the hang? Both revert changes I made since the initial drop I sent you on IRC
comment:9 by , 15 years ago
http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090626a-debug.zip acts exactly as http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090625-debug.zip, also the problem with network is present.
http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090626-debug.zip boots ok (both audio adapters enabled) up to uniaud32.sys, then there is a long delay after uniaud16.sys, long delays after usbresmg.sys and ndfs32.ifs and an infinitely long delay at vpcapp.sys (hang?).

Hi all,
I've seen that lot of work has been done on Uniaud. Any chance that there will be more progress on this subject too?
Thanks and bye

The latest BETA build has completely reworked PCI bus scanner code. It should correctly detect multiple adapters. Whether or not you can select which one to use when you play a sound is another question. You can select which driver to initialize by using the /C:CARDNAME switch for uniaud32.sys in config.sys. However, I think that both of your cards use the same driver.

Uniinfo with Uniaud195-1924.zip... it now detects 3 audio adapters...
comment:13 by , 14 years ago
It now says "Detected 3 audio adapter(s)"!
No idea about the third one, but the problem is that the first recognized is always HDA ATI HDMI :-\
comment:14 by , 5 years ago
Hello
This ticket is too old. Please use the latest version of Uniaud. If the problem persist, please re-open the ticket.
Regards

As the problem is caused here by an ATI video card including HDA, Paul kindly compiled an uniaud32.sys without the code for HDA ATI HDMI.
But, at boot time, uniaud32.sys still tried to attach to ATI HDA. Once booted, strangely enough, "unimix -card" command failed! It started working again once loaded the non-patched uniaud32.sys...
