Just to get your attention that the new 5.2 onboard AHI driver (not for microA1's!) is now available on OS4depot. This one actually works!
Also included is a test tool to see if you have an AC'97 or not.

Edit: via686b.audio v5.3 and Mixer 1.16 with support for the VIA audio now on OS4depot.

I tested the tool, and it was clear that i don't have the onboard soundchip,
so now we know that for sure Great work anyway, DaveAE, as always

Takes a load off my mind anyway!

@Steff

Indeed Now to look after the TerraTec Aureon soundcard instead

I hope DaveAE will take a good time working on an updated Aureon-driver
based on the Envy24TH driver

Grrrr.... I didn't have it either. I was so sure I had it. I have a quite early board I think. An XE/G3... but seems not.. and I have no audio connector on the backplate either.. Too bad!

I know, cause it would be very interesting, but here is what you can do:

Go for a TerraTec Aureon soundcard for best performance in audio
I'm going for it in November

Go for the TerraTec Aureon 5.1 Fun then. It's a 16-bit HIFI 5.1 stereo
sound card and pretty cheap, too. You could consider this one

No chip here just one empty space of many, but good work and good luck to those who have got the chip.

Thank you DaveAE, this driver works beautifully.
But still got the SBLive in though, when I need a slot I'll pull it.

Cheers,
Tim

It works great! Thx a lot!

As for your diagnostic tool: it says my A1 doesn't have an AC'97 but it's there I opened my case and saw it and I'm listening to it playing mp3.

I think mbilla ran checkac97 before he installed the new driver. It said I didn't have ac97 until I installed this version.

Mine also said I didn't have chip when I could clearly see it. I commented out the lines in my user-startup that related to AHI and setlevels. Then I reset and all was wonderful!

Nice one DaveAE looking forward to it.

Huh? Another new version comming up, without the tool? Why? Well,
the tool showed me that i don't have the chip, but the driver showed
me the modes for the AC'97 soundchip. What's happening, really?

Even that a new version is great, i must say this situation is
getting very weird
