v5pmi.bin and version 2 iopener

First I would like to thank Programmer for his great work on the BIOS update. Now for the problem... I have a version 2 iopener that i just flashed with the newest v5pmi.bin file. After I flashed and rebooted windows detected a new "PCI Multimedia Audio Device" but could not find the drivers for it. I'm assuming the reason for this is because of the different type of audio chip used in the version 5 iopener. If this is the case can someone post the correct BIOS for the version 2 iopener with the usbfix? Also i wanted to ask does the newest version of v5pmi.bin include the usbfix? Thanks!!!

You can use this BIOS. It's just one setting you need to turn off:

Go into BIOS Settings, and disable "OnBoard Sound".

v5pmi.bin is based on the v5Patched BIOS.. which has added support for the new sound chip used on the v5. Historically, the whole purpose of creating v5Patched was to enable Audio on the v5's -- while all other machines would just use the v1 BIOS. Later on, v5Patched just got "adopted" as the new standard BIOS, since it was backwards-compatible and seemed to be better at recognizing some finicky hard-drives.
