sis7018 Ali Souncard won't appear in Media Prefs, no sound

[kutspam@…]

This driver is using old methods according to it's author. Hence probably the lack of sound. HW == HP NC4010

[korli]

and ... AFAIK Haiku doesn't support the old audio API.

[kutspam@…]

The author responded that he will probably try to update the driver but didn't promise anything, it was more like, I guess it's up to me.

I'll be glad of course since I'm not sure to pay 200 euro for the Echo Indigo I/O which doesn't even have midi i/o : (

Maybe he could give could give code to our developers, so they could fix it, or even add to haiku?

[kutspam@…]

I emailed the author about it.

Ah, didn't knew it, probably mislooked it in commit log. Preved :-)

[marcusoverhagen]

crated a new component sis7018 and reassigned bug to driver author

[kutspam@…]

There's only a readme file in /haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/sis7018, some commit error

[imker@…]

Paul, check the SVN Browser URL above - all is on the place. All is under control - you'll be first in the tester's queue, anyway :-)

[kutspam@…]

In this folder, all files I click on have the SAME content.

[imker@…]

He-He :-)

You see only the revisions history - not a real code. :-)

.... Revision 17625 - (view) (download) - [select for diffs] ....

Click on _view_ or _download_ links to see real contents of file. It is also possible to see the differences between revisions - let's play with this form. :-)

Oops : ) you're right

This one is funny, I can see the SiS logo ascii art ; )

Can the original submitter test new ali5451 driver perhaps? It's been added to svn in hrev34452. I can provide binary for r1alpha1 if there's such a need.

Replying to kutspam@…:

Thanks to new ali5451 multi-audio driver from Krzysiek Ćwiertnia (#5066) your hardware is now supported and this ticket can be closed. Please confirm the work with revisions after hrev34452. Feel free to reopen it in case the problem still persist. Thank you!

The driver isn't yet included on hd images though.
