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.

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.
SYSTEM FILE/REGISTRY CHANGES:
Not available for this release.
