No sound on Asus P5PL2 motherboard with AD1986A

[robh]

I've tried several versions of Uniaud drivers, including the latest, but none produce any sound on my system. Checked with both Unimix and Lbmix: all channels open. Hardware is OK: sound with Linux an WinXP.

inilog with 2.1.1

Unilog of 1.9.24

there are a lot channels not open. like the front playback volume and the front playback switch.

When Unimix and lbmix show that all channels are open there must be a discrepancy. I'll try to provide screen captures of both

the problem is those gui's don't show all possible channels. you have to play with the cmdline unimix

After some trial and error with the commandline version of Unimix I managed to switch on Front Playback and set its volume to a high value. And now I have indeed sound! I may have to play a little more with it to get it completely under control. I could not find any documentation, only very brief help info.

But now I have sound, I experience that the PM version of Uniaudio Mixer does exactly nothing. Regardless how I set volumes or switches the sound doesn't change in any way.

If this is the way the eCS user has to control sound: terrible!

Following a recommendation which I found for a Thinkpad T61 on OS2world I have created a startup.cmd on my boot volume with the following contents: unimix.exe -loadp:\mmos2\unimix.ini unimix.exe -id3 -cnt0 -val31 unimix.exe -id3 -cnt1 -val31 unimix.exe -id4 -cnt0 -val1 unimix.exe -id4 -cnt1 -val1 unimix.exe -savep:\mmos2\unimix.ini exit Now sound is present from boot time.

And I have to add: my comment about Unimix is incorrect. PCM Playback and Master Playback Volume and On/Off swithhes are working properly (have not tested the other controls). I don't understand why it seemed to be crippled two days ago.

Reformatting startup.cmd:

unimix.exe -loadp:\mmos2\unimix.ini
unimix.exe -id3 -cnt0 -val31
unimix.exe -id3 -cnt1 -val31
unimix.exe -id4 -cnt0 -val1
unimix.exe -id4 -cnt1 -val1
unimix.exe -savep:\mmos2\unimix.ini
exit

i know the gui's suck big time. but the cli version always works.
btw after you did a unimix -save you don't have to set the id's every time you boot. a unimix -load is enough.

shouldn't this be closed, as i guess its fixed
