How to identify your sound card

Download UniInfo.zip to find out exactly what type of sound card you have installed. PCI+AGP bus sniffer [Download]. This utility shows PCI, AGP and CardBus device informations, has huge database of known vendors and devices, can tell what IRQ are supported by which slot, here is a update if needed.

Unzip UniInfo.zip to any directory and run UniInfo.cmd. This will create a zip file with a lot of logs files. We are looking for the longname entry and mixer in the card.log file and it should look like this:

This is for testing new Uniaud releases

1)  Download the Complete Install Package -- Uniaud16 1.9.5 and Uniaud32 1.9.25 Based on ALSA 1.0.21
(Recommended version)
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/Uniaud195-1925.zip

   a) If you have UniAud already installed. Download the "Update Package" zip file and copy uniaud16.sys and uniaud32.sys over your existing files in  x:\MMOS2 (where "x:" is the drive where your MMOS2 installation resides).  Now jump to step  #5.

2)  Note About Repeating System Sounds -- Even though many people think that the Repeating System Sound problem has something to do with Uniaud, THIS IS NOT TRUE. The repeating system sounds problem has nothing at all to do with Uniaud, but instead is caused by SND.DLL. Please log into  eComStation.com and see ticket number 2874 in the BugTracker for the resolution to the Repeating System Sounds problem.

3)  Close other running applications (good precaution).

4)  Extract Uniaud195-1925.zip to a temporary location & run install.cmd from there.
        DO NOT REBOOT AT THE END OF THE INSTALLATION.

5)  As a precaution, you might want to turn off system sounds.

6)  Shutdown and restart.

7)  Watch the boot sequence (you might want to use Alt-F4 to enable
        pausing through the process) to see whether Uniaud properly
        detects your card.

8)  Test some audio, and report your findings here, or if you have
        more details, in the bug tracker (though a brief discussion here (UniAud users list)
        first may be helpful). -  http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud#SubmittingTickets

9) Recovery from hard lockups. At boot hit Alt-F1 for startup options, select boot to
        command line. Change to the x:\MMOS2 directory. Replace  the uniaud32.sys
        with your backup file. If you did not backup your original uniaud32.sys, then just
        delete the new uniaud32.sys file and reboot. Now you can start your system and
        replace the uniaud32.sys with the right version.

10) If you are experiencing problems, try changing out the uniaud32.sys file.
        Start with these three and work your way down:
