CANDIDATE NOTES/KNOWN ISSUES/LANGUAGES SUPPORTED:
Localization is supported in this release. The internationalized
version of Install Shield does not support Arabic, however, the driver
does.
INSTALL AND REMOVE INSTRUCTIONS:
This software is installed automatically by the Microsoft Windows
Hardware Installation Wizard. When the hardware is detected, the
Wizard will prompt for the disk containing the device information
file. Cancel out of the Hardware Install Wizard, and run the Setup
program once the computer finishes booting.
Factory Install/ Driver Install
To run the utility before login for installation along with the OS, use
the RunServicesOnce key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
RunServiceOnce needs to have a value, ADI_Install, whose data is
<Path to Setup files>\Setup.exe -s entered in the registry.
This entry can be made using the MSBATCH.INF file during installation
of the OS.
The Setup.exe program is copying the files needed by the Hardware Setup
Wizard to automatically load the driver. Because the RunServicesOnce
key launches programs asynchronously, the developer writing the install
script must make sure this setup has completed before the Hardware
Wizard starts. The amount of time required for the setup application to
finish will depend on where the setup application is running from.
For example, it takes approximately 15 seconds to run from a hard
drive.
To run the utility after login for installation along with the OS, use
the RunOnce key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
needs to have a value, ADI_Install, whose data is <Path to Setup files>
\Setup.exe -s entered in the registry.
This entry can be made using the MSBATCH.INF file during installation
of the OS.
The developer writing the install script will need to cancel out of the
Hardware Wizard when it detects a board and is requesting the drivers.
The RunOnce key will then execute the setup just after windows finishes
booting. The system will need to be rebooted to finish the install
using this registry key.
Install and Update
1. Run Setup.exe.
2. Choose to reboot at the end of the install program.
The system will reload the drivers and make any adjustments in the INF
file if so required.
Uninstall
1. Go to Start\Settings\Control Panel.
2. Click on the System icon.
3. Select the Device Manager tab.
4. Double-click on Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.
5. Click on the "SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio" heading.
6. Click on the Remove button at the bottom of the window.
7. Click on the OK button in the dialog box that pops up.
8. Close the Device Manager window.
9. Go to the Add/Remove programs icon and double-click on the SoundMAX
uninstall.
This procedure will remove all files loaded at install, and the
installer will need to be run again before the sound system will work.

PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS/FIXED DEFECTS:
[Identify all fixed defects and product enhancements to the component
in this section]
* Fixed ACT test failure 9:36.2 WaveIn sample rate drift.
Track # 12
DESCRIPTION: When the mixer's default recording slider (Master
[Wave] is the only moveable slider) is centered, the recording
levels are too high. The slider must be moved two notches down
(nearly to the bottom) to record at a normal level without
distortion.
Comments: Default levels will be set in the Beta 1 version of
the driver.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2103
Fixed in driver version: 4.10.2111
Track # 13
DESCRIPTION: Cannot record mono formats with Sound Recorder.
When trying to record in any mono format, in Sound Recorder,
the error message "Your audio hardware cannot record into files
like the current file. To record, create a new document"
appears. This message continues to appear even after a new file
with different mono formats is created. Sound Recorder appears
to work fine in any stereo format.
Comments: This is not a driver issue. The KMIXER does not
support mono format and 8-bit format conversion on
record. Microsoft is planning to include this in a
future version of Windows 2000. Fixed in Win98
Beta2 (4.10.2150).
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2103
Track # 74
DESCRIPTION: WDM package (WDM00017). Missing ISS file for
installation software.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2111
Fixed in driver version: 4.10.2112
Track # 81
DESCRIPTION: Initial setup message is: Blank Setup Setup
is ....
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2111
Fixed in driver version: 4.10.2112
Track # 86
DESCRIPTION: Kmixer issue "Your audio hardware cannot record
into files like the current file. To record, create a new
document". For starters, can we make the default record rate
22k 16-bit stereo? Also, add the words "stereo recording" in
place of document in the error message.
Comments: This is a known problem in Kmixer. It does not
support the conversion of 16-bit stereo (which is
what the hardware supports) to 8-bit mono when
recording, which is the default format of
Microsoft's Sound Recorder applet. The default
recording format is set by Microsoft in their applet
and is outside of our control. We understand that
Microsoft is working on fixing the bug in Kmixer.
Once that happens, the recording of 8-bit mono will
go through with no problem. We don't know of any way
to force the default recording format of Microsoft's
Sound Recorder to be 16-bit stereo. Fixed in Win98
Beta2 (4.10.2150).
Track # 90
DESCRIPTION: Multimedia Wave Drift fails.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2110
Fixed in driver version: 4.10.2112
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS/DEFECTS NOT COMPLETED IN THIS RELEASE:
[Identify all defects and product enhancements scheduled but not
completed in this section]
Track # 10
DESCRIPTION: System blue screens or reboots with Sound
Recorder.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2103
KNOWN ISSUES & BUGS:
[Identify all known issues or defects that are not fixable or
scheduled to be released. Include relevant component interaction
issues that will impact the deliverables behavior.]
Track # 65
DESCRIPTION: PCM output level seems incorrectly attenuated.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2108
Comments: Playing 1KHz 0 db digital (Redbook) audio, we
observed an output signal of 4 Vpp. We create a
wave file with CoolEdit that is a 1Khz 0 db
22,050 Hz sample rate. Playing that wave file, we
observed an output signal of about 1 Vpp. It seems
that Kmixer is attenuating wave files by about 9 db.
It also seems that this attenuation varies based on
the sample rate of the file. This seems to be a
Microsoft issue.
Track # 66
DESCRIPTION: When trying to configure Microsoft Dictation
(speech SDK) the program reports that another application is
trying to use the sound card, when there are not any other
programs running.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2110
Comments: This is not a driver issue. This seems to be related
to the lack of support for mono format and 8-bit
format conversion on record in KMIXER. Microsoft is
planning to include this in a future version of
Windows 2000.
Track # 67
DESCRIPTION: When running the setup microphone program for
IBM's ViaVoice, the microphone test will not run. In the
training mode, ViaVoice will not report how many words were, or
were not recognized, instead, it says, "Please Wait", forever,
until the program is closed.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2110
Comments: This is not a driver issue. This seems to be related
to the lack of support for mono format and 8-bit
format conversion on record in KMIXER. Microsoft is
planning to include this in a future version of
Windows 2000.
Track # 71
DESCRIPTION: Problem occurs while loading the 1881 driver,
Version 4.10.2111. The subsystem ID returned by the bios is
incorrect.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2111
Comments: For windows 98, the subsystem is used to aid in
identifying and matching the inf file to the
hardware. If the bios returns an unexpected
subsystem number that is not in the inf file then
the drivers will not load correctly. A temporary
work around for this problem is to include the
subsystem ID returned by the bios until the bios is
corrected.
Track # 76
DESCRIPTION: If MIDI, AVI, and wave files are played and then
the wave file is muted, the MIDI is also muted. Only a snippet
of MIDI is heard every few seconds.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2111
Comments: This is an issue relating to KMIXER. It is
responsible for the mixing, attenuation, and muting
of the "soft" audio streams.
Track # 77
DESCRIPTION: All full-duplex testing in ACT fails. There are
more problems on Whitney platform than on Camino platform.
Reported in driver version: 4.10.2111
Track # 83
DESCRIPTION: A pop occurs on start and exit of Windows.
Comments: This is not a driver issue. This is a hardware
issue.
Track # 85
DESCRIPTION: There is additional static on MIDI when heavy
I/O and DMA are off.
Comments: This is not a driver issue. This problem is specific
to planar design.
