Soundcards for OS/2 / Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2H board, with a HDA Intel + Realtek ALC888B

« Last post by GreggoryShaw on Jun 18, 2010, 20:38:PM »

The GIGABYTE GA-G41M-ES2H board, which uses the Realtek ALC888B,
but identifies as a HDA Intel + Realtek ALC887 ,  I found a combination that works
better for me, using APIC/ACPI:

Install UniAud 114rc6 or replace the uniaud16.sys with the one from the
UniAud 1.1.4RC6 package and then replace UNIAUD32.SYS with the one
from Paul's 1.9.22 package:

http://download.smedley.info/uniaud-1.9.22-release.zip
(for debug version: http://download.smedley.info/uniaud-1.9.22-debug.zip)

ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/old/uniaud114RC6.zip

If your audio hardware has something to do with mine, this should get
audio somewhat working without hanging. Occasional audio hangs when
playing YouTube or Z! will happen. Nothing that hangs the computer, but
sometimes you'll have to reboot to get your sound back.

Soundcards for OS/2 / Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L board, which uses ICH7+ ALC662

The Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L board, which uses ICH7+ ALC662 (which
I don't know if it is your combination), and I found a combination that works
better for me, using APIC/ACPI: Install UniAud 1.1.4RC6 (probably already
installed on eCS2RC5) and then replace UNIAUD16.SYS with that on
Paul's 1.9.8 package:

http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.8.zip
(for debug version: http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.8-debug.zip )

  Also, replace UNIAUD32.SYS with that on the older RC2 version:

ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/old/uniaud114RC2.zip

If your audio hardware has something to do with mine, this should get
audio somewhat working without hanging everything around and without
repeating sounds. Occasional audio hangs when playing YouTube or
Z! will happen. Nothing that hangs the computer, but sometimes you'll
have to reboot to get your sound back.

News for eCS / Firefox-3.6.4 and Thunderbird-3.1(rc1) on Netlabs

« Last post by GreggoryShaw on Jun 05, 2010, 17:36:PM »

NOTE: These two were built on the same code base, so no
LIBPATHSTRICT=T or RUN!  needed for these to run together at the same time!

Hi,

I've uploaded Firefox-3.6.4 and Thunderbird-3.1(rc1) (without
lightning) to:

ftp.netlabs.org/pub/mozilla/Firefox
ftp.netlabs.org/pub/mozilla/Thunderbird

I hope for the firefox build that is the one that will get officially
released in a few days.
FF-3.6.4 has gotten a major overhaul (out of process plugins -
unfortunately not for OS/2, we're working on it in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536262)
Firefox-3.6.4 misses still support for the java plugin, which doesn't
matter for thunderbird (that was build on the same code base), because
thunderbird by design never supported the java plugin.
Please read the respective Readme's uploaded as well for extra patches
I had to apply. Both applications were built using Paul's GCC-4.4.2.

Have fun, Walter

(Hopefully, there won't be too much problems with these new versions
as I'll be offine for a few days).
