Home / I-Opener Areas / I-Opener Technical Stuff Sound Drivers BeOS or Windows

Sound Drivers (modified 0 times) the Bod I was wondering about the sound on the I Opener. Are the drivers on the windows 95 cd, if I choose 95? Or do I have to go to 98 and do the win 98 lite? How about Be OS 5.0??? I have a 528 meg 2.5 in drive a friend said I could have, so I'm kind of limited on hd size. Also will I be able to format the "d:" (san disk) drive ?? will it just be a 16 meg ram d: drive? Could I install dos on it? If so are there any DOS web browsers? The machine in dos could be good if there weas access to the web. I know 16meg is not much but the QNX demo was impressive on just 1.4 meg. Just wondering. Brian 03-30-2000 16:48:00

RE:Sound Drivers (modified 0 times) TownDrunk these drivers are untested, but this is what I found: http://www.yamaha.com/lsi/dindex.htm You want the second set of links for the YMF715 chip. 04-06-2000 15:42:22

RE:Sound Drivers (modified 0 times) Tackhead Last night I got the thing running with both the Trident Cyberblade drivers and the Yamaha YMF715 drivers. Win95 OSR2, total install size about 90M. Fits nice in a 127M partition. The Cyberblade drivers: Unzip in a spare directory and do *NOT* run the setup program (it'll give you screwball drivers that will leave "mouse tracks" as you drag your windows around). Right-click on the .inf file and select "install" instead. The sound drivers: Unzip, go into "DISK1", run setup. Reboot, go to ControlPanel -> System -> DeviceManager -> OPL3-SA Sound Board -> Properties, and update the driver even if it says you don't have to. Tell it you "Have Disk", and Browse in \WINDOWS\Temp\Sax. You'll find something that'll give you sound. Weirdest install procedure I'd ever seen; in neither case did the normal standby of "run SETUP.EXE" work. 04-06-2000 16:02:36

RE:Sound Drivers (modified 0 times) Dagger Yeah... I noticed the same oddity with the Yamaha sound driver install, you have to point it to the windows\temp dir to find the file. However, I ran the SETUP.EXE that came with the cyberblade drivers and the install went very smooth. It prompted for a reboot and came up directly into 800x600 w/16 bit color. I haven't noticed any "mouse tracks" other than the normal ghosting associated with a DSTN LCD... What did you mean exactly by "mouse tracks" when moving windows?... 04-06-2000 18:10:45

RE:Sound Drivers (modified 0 times) Tackhead "Mouse tracks" - you move the mouse around, and stray pixels remain in the "wrong color" after the mouse passes over them, same sort of thing if you're dragging a window. Hey, it's Windows, it's entirely possible that I botched something in the install (used a "custom install" to strip away everything I didn't need in the install portion of the OS load) If I'm the only one having trouble with the Cyberblade drivers and the included SETUP.EXE, I'll blame myself and not the drivers. (At least you confirmed I wasn't going nuts with the Yamaha drivers!) Question: When you click on the monitor settings in control panel or taskbar icon, do you get the "extra" tabs for Trident? (Marked with the three-colored-stripes icon, allowing you to turn external VGA on or off?) 04-06-2000 22:31:51

RE:Sound Drivers (modified 0 times) scooter360 Profile | Email If none of that crap dont work here is a direct link to the real drivers for the VIA chipset: http://www.via.com.tw/drivers/68mu111b.exe Description: Enables the integrated audio function for the VT82C686A South bridge. Here is a good place to go when you need drivers for chipsets in general. (The I-Opener is of course VIA) http://www.the-ctrl-alt-del.com/utilities.htm#VIA That is everything you need. So far I've had really no problems with the ver 4 I have. With the Apollo MP3 Player I have - great for the car with the audio mod I put in. ~ Pooter mineispooter@yahoo.com http://www.delphi.com/shaft_2001/start 12-31-2000 05:56:23
