• Switching to MB Audio

    From PaulRS@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 19 05:08:48 2018
    Thanks to Steve and his detailed tutorial, I switched out the 3com NIC
    for the onboard Intel Pro100 Internet connection. That released a
    slot on the MB.

    Now I noticed this MB has onboard audio as well. My system has a
    SB-Live card currently. I believe that the Uniaud drivers would work
    as my use of this main OS/2 box is not heavy into exotic audio stuff.
    I could use some help in figuring out how to switch out the SB-Live
    and replacing it with the onboard audio - without messing up my
    system. This would release the second MB slot for my LPT2 second
    printer port card.

    If this is easily doable, I could use another tutorial as I was given
    for the NIC exchange.

    Thanks in advance

    So, what audio controller is on your particular board?
    Once you found this out you can check for a matching driver.

    What tells you lspci?

    It MB would use the uniaud32 and uniaud16 drivers. (I had an old 15GB
    drive that I temporarly connected to this MB and made a fast
    installation of ecs2.1 - The drivers it used for MB sound were the
    uniaud32 & uniaud16.]
    On a working system, fully configured, I do not want to have to
    reinstall.

    So when your sound is already working, what is your question?

    I _think_ you can just copy the drivers, x:\mmos2\MMPM2.INI over to your production system as well as editing the devices in config.sys. Make
    sure to have a backup if you try this.

    I think you are on the right track for a manual install/switch.
    Initially tried the uniaud16, uniaud32 in \MMOS2 and in config sys
    before posting. This did not work. I missed MMPM2.INI. On further investigation there is a UNIMIX.exe in \MMOS2. In the DLL directory
    there is a UNIAUD.DLL and UNIAUDMIXPM.EXE. These were probably missed
    as well.

    I have not tried this yet . . . Also see my response to Marcel for
    what I was looking for..

    Marcel

    It was addresssed in the original post. I want to free up a PCI slot
    on the MB. And the MB has built in audio. I think Dave Yeo has put
    me on the right track to do it manually (I missed the MMPM2.INI). I
    was looking for someone who has used:
    Local System- > Install/Remove -> Multimedia Application Install -> Reinitialize your Multimedia Installation for a turtorial. (This may
    be the "official" way to go) I have not tried either yet . . . I fear
    messing up my perfectly configured system.
