new audio Hardware

[mgerling]

Hello, I installed eCS 1.2R (german) on a DT Research DT166 micro PC, which is based on AMD Geode LX8ß00 with comanion chip CS5536. The peripheral chips are RTL8139C for LAN and Realtek ALC203A for Audio.

My question: Is it possible to support this hardware? As I saw, nearly all Geode-based Boards have this Hardware, especially the nice Alix Boards from PC Engines ​http://www.pcengines.ch/alix1d.htm

I tried UNIAUD in several versions, but it does not load.

many greetings from Germany and CU/2, Martin

Can you please test with uniaud32.sys from ​http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-20081025.zip - this has the ALSA version bumped to 1.0.18rc3 - it may support this chipset

I tried it, but the driver did not initialize :-( I also tried the new driver v1.9.11, same result. Before I installed the new driver I reinitialized the audio subsystem and rebooted the computer. Maybe the problem is caused by the unknown PCI bridge?

You could try ​http://smedley.info/uniaud-20090625.zip - this includes 'Driver for audio on multifunction CS5535/6 companion device'

If uniaud32 detects the hardware correctly, I'll look into how to modify uniaud16 for the new device type

Please test the new BETA driver and see if it detects your hardware. The PCI bus scan was improved in this version.
