Re: Sigmatel Audio - Intel D945GNT Motherboard

[KM]

Martin,

A rough guess. Do you have "Audio Control Panel" component included in your build with resolved all dependencies? (since you mentioned you copied the mmdriver.inf manually I don't think that component included in the config)

"Primitive: MMSYS" component should also be there.

Also, how about the following components:
"Primitive: ks.sys",
"Primitive: Drmk.sys",
"Primitive: Winmm",
"Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter",
"Microsoft Kernel Acoustic Echo Canceller",
"Microsoft Kernel DRM Audio Descrambler",
"Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device".

Folks,

I am continuing to have problems with componentizing the Sigmatel Audio drivers for the above motherboard. What happens is that the drivers all appear to install OK yet the audio control panel says "no audio device". You can look at the sigmatel device and windows reports the device as drivers installed and working properly.

When you double click the sounds control panel icon you get an error saying unable to find mmdiver.inf. Even if I manually add this to the image the same problem persists.

I have searched extensively and can only find two references to this problem - one where no resoltuion was given and a second where Sean advised that the sthda.inf was recursively calling other .infs. Per Sean's instructions I included the referenced infs in the same location and componentized - still the same problem.

I'm lost - anyone got any advice? The setupapi.log reports that the device installs OK - so that really confuses me.

Any help would be appreciated - I've attached the .sld I created in case that helps and the setupapi.log excerpt is below:

Martin,

Your board says that it has this for audio:
Intel® High Definition Audio subsystem in one of the following
configurations: 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem with five analog audio
outputs and one S/PDIF optical digital audio output using the Sigmatel 9223*
audio codec
6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem with three analog audio outputs using the
Sigmatel 9220* audio codec

This means that you need to do two things before you have addressed the
audio card.
1/ Make ( or use from XPEFILES.COM ) a component for the INTEL Chipset
2/ Include the "Microsoft UAA High Definintion Audio Bus" component.

Assuming your Audio Driver component works, it will start working soon as
those two above mentioned parts are working.

Not absolutely sre if you need the UAA Bus Driver, but I did for my Realtek
High Def card. The info on your boards mentions that it is on High Def Bus,
so I guess it wouldn't hurt to try using it.

Cheers!

This is why I mention the UAA Bus Driver.

Cheers!

Martin,
Your board says that it has this for audio:
Intel® High Definition Audio subsystem in one of the following
configurations: 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem with five analog audio
outputs and one S/PDIF optical digital audio output using the Sigmatel
9223*
audio codec
6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem with three analog audio outputs using
the
Sigmatel 9220* audio codec
This means that you need to do two things before you have addressed the
audio card.
1/ Make ( or use from XPEFILES.COM ) a component for the INTEL Chipset
2/ Include the "Microsoft UAA High Definintion Audio Bus" component.
Assuming your Audio Driver component works, it will start working soonas
those two above mentioned parts are working.
Not absolutely sre if you need the UAA Bus Driver, but I did for my
Realtek
High Def card. The info on your boards mentions that it is on High Def
Bus,
so I guess it wouldn't hurt to try using it.
Cheers!

Martin,
A rough guess. Do you have "Audio Control Panel" component included in
your build with resolved all dependencies? (since you mentioned you
copied the mmdriver.inf manually I don't think that component included
in the config)
"Primitive: MMSYS" component should also be there.
Also, how about the following components:
"Primitive: ks.sys",
"Primitive: Drmk.sys",
"Primitive: Winmm",
"Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter",
"Microsoft Kernel Acoustic Echo Canceller",
"Microsoft Kernel DRM Audio Descrambler",
"Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device".

Folks,
I am continuing to have problems with componentizing the Sigmatel
Audio drivers for the above motherboard. What happens is that the
drivers all appear to install OK yet the audio control panel says "no
audio device". You can look at the sigmatel device and windows reports
the device as drivers installed and working properly.
When you double click the sounds control panel icon you get an error
saying unable to find mmdiver.inf. Even if I manually add this to the
image the same problem persists.
I have searched extensively and can only find two references to this
problem - one where no resoltuion was given and a second where Sean
advised that the sthda.inf was recursively calling other .infs. Per
Sean's instructions I included the referenced infs in the same location
and componentized - still the same problem.
I'm lost - anyone got any advice? The setupapi.log reports that the
device installs OK - so that really confuses me.
Any help would be appreciated - I've attached the .sld I created in
case that helps and the setupapi.log excerpt is below:

Martin,

I had the same problem with the sigmatel audio drivers for a D946GZ
motherboard. What I did was to componetize the complete installation,
not just the drivers. I put in the component everything that goes to
C:\Program Files\SigmaTel\C-Major Audio ,Windows directory and
system32, as if you installed it from the drivers CD from the
motherboard.

BlueMonkey,

Yes, all the items you mentioned have been tried to no avail. The .inf from
XPEfiles was added several weeks ago. I added device manager so I could see
what the devices are doing. All devices show that they are installed and
working correctly including the SigmaTel Audio driver - but when you open
the audio control panel item it shows no audio device, no playback device,
no midi device, etc.

And I tried Daniel's suggestion of componentizing the entire application in
C:\program files\Sigmatel\C-Major audio.

I think I will punt until after vacation - maybe a few days away will make
the light bullb go on?!?

I'd welcome any other suggestions - b.t.w. I added all the UAA drivers
(there are 3 if you count the Sigmatel Specific as well as the Microsoft).

Cheers.

Martin,

I know how frustrating issues on XPe could be - since no source code or debugging capabilities are built-in we are often left alone
to fight with 3rd party software on our images.

Anyway, just want to bring up a couple of ideas that you may want to try out:

- Did you try actually installing the driver software package at runtime? I mean using MSI or whatever the installer is. I
wonder if it works this way and the issue is only around componentization of the driver.
If it does I would try the following tweak:
- add your own component to the image.
- deploy the image and make sure the driver install is ok (no need to test functionality yet).
- at this point you likely got all [most] of the driver files in appropriate places including INFs, SYS, and perhaps
most of the required registry entries.
- run the actual driver installer (MSI) at run time and monitor the installation with a snapshot tools like RegSnap or
InCtrl5 (RegSnap is better since it will give you .reg file as the result).
- if you compare the registry and file system snapshots before and after the install you may find some missing entries
there. Note that there won't be too many entries in the result log since you already had most of the files and reg.entries for the
driver pre-installed with the component.

- If nothing helps, try the driver (install or your component) with XPProEmulation image (www.xpefiles.com, RTM FP2007 version)
to see if you can get it working on XPe at all.

[MARTIN SPENCE]

Thanks KM,

The only thing I have not tried is the regsnap a second time. I started
with my componentized driver and everything seems to be in the right place
in terms of the device manager being happy. I then tried the regsnap and
grabbed a .reg of the changes. I then imported the .reg into CD and brought
all of the new registry settings into the component. At this point I was
feeling pretty clever - but I should have known it was too soon. I still
get the same problem that the device manager is happy but the audio control
panel does not say a device is installed. I think that I need to try
regsnap one more time - I did another driver install over the top and
everything worked but failed to grab another snapshot - I must be missing
something pretty simple - maybe? In any case I think that might get me over
the hump.

Also a related question - I did not see a specific reg entry for the .cpl
file - and the control panel item did not show up until after the
reinstall - do you need to register the .cpl during FBA or was I just not
looking hard enough at the several hunder registry entries I now have!

Thanks again - I'll keep the faith - and will keep bangin away.

I have searched extensively and can only find two references to
this problem - one where no resoltuion was given and a second where
Sean advised that the sthda.inf was recursively calling other .infs.
Per Sean's instructions I included the referenced infs in the same
location and componentized - still the same problem.

I'm lost - anyone got any advice? The setupapi.log reports that
the device installs OK - so that really confuses me.

Any help would be appreciated - I've attached the .sld I created in
case that helps and the setupapi.log excerpt is below:
