This wasn't a "pipe dream" or a propaganda ploy that I fancied to see "if it flys" I am a Software Choice member, and about a year or so ago I filled out an "on line" questionaire at the IBM site.Generally a "wish list" type thing with absolutely no encouragement whatsoever that any suggestions would ever result in a finished product .So did,evidently, many others. A couple months later I got an unexpected e-mail from an unfamiliar source that "appeared" as though it might have originated internally from IBM, that tabulated the "results" in a "most frequently requested" statistical distribution table. What I recall is that "SB Live" drivers for OS/2 were "overwhelmingly desired" and in the words of the author: "Work has already begun" What made it seem so genuine at the time was that another item that I really wanted DVD-RAM drivers for OS/2, didn't even have a category listed, And I guess that The combination of IBM, Personal disappointment, and a feeling of abandonment, made the experiance seem very genuine. I figgured that the completion and release of SBLive drivers for OS/2 would be such an "event" that I couldn't possibly miss it,, so I deleted the general announcement, and started waiting. Recently, I just remembered that I had forgotten all about this, so I posted this inquiry. Does ANYONE else remember this survey? Did anyone else get a similar "unofficial" update and tabulation? Anybody know if this project ever actually materialized, and if so, when/why did it fail? I guess the only other possibility is that I was hoaxed. Too bad too, I was really looking forward to the "unloading" of my CPU that this would bring. rjerant@no_spam, Rich Jerant wrote: > On Wed, 15 Sep 1999 02:53:52 GMT, "zeppelin@gte.net" > wrote: > > >I recall somewhere reading that IBM was preparing OS/2 drivers for the > >PCI based SoundBlaster Live card as a result of "overwealming" interest > >from user surveys.

From: cdhodge@ibm.net This is to inform you that MIDI Station Sequencer (MSS) Beta 6 is now available from my website for download. Some of the new features available are: 1 - Completed Piano Roll module 2 - Fixed problems with audio recording 3 - Fixed layout in Audio Track window - waves now display proper lengths 4 - Improved playback performance (still a few things left to do here) 5 - Minor bug fixes and enhancements The product is pretty much feature complete for this version. I strongly encourage you to try this version out as soon as possible and give me some feedback on it. Look for the GA version very soon. Also if you're interested in purchasing the sequencer I would recommend that you do so now because there may be a price increase when the product goes gold. IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! There is something that you can do to drastically improve your playback performance. Change the timer sensitivity to 1ms. Originally the default was 5ms but this has turned out not to be optimal for playback. Look in the settings notebook on the "Advanced" tab and you'll see the option to change the timer sensitivity. You'll find that the performance improves considerably. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Now that the "AWE 32" card is no longer marketed, there really is no 'good' card to even use VoiceType with. How IBM justifys pulling VoiceType from the now "enterprise only" OS/2 (funny, but it was marketed as the BEST MultiMedia OS on the planet when I purchased v4) yet continues to improve "simply speaking" for NT (mkicrosofts "enterprise" OS so they say) is a mystery to me. But then, I still like P2P from the warp v3 bonuspak. (I'm just "wierd", I guess) BTW since you were OS/2 MM "inhouse" do you know of anyway to get the "video" feature of P2P functioning without the necessity of that old Intel capture device?

One follow-up question... the readme says I can go back to the sel install folder & teh AD driver will now be listed. I should be able to click on properties there & set the 3D sound. Actually mine still shows "none" for audio support, & the AD driver is not listed as an option. Any advice?

When I comment it out, no Trap D occurs. Any ideas how to get the sound back with Fixpack 11? I know I could always back out to Fixpack 9. I heard about similar problems with ESS1868 and saw some additional drivers at an indeliblue site. There was no additional driver for the ESS1879 and I was unsure if I could use the 1868 or 1869 drivers. Any other ideas? I am using the latest drivers posted on the ESS site. David L.

Unfortunately, the NEWS is not enjoyable, nor does it make sense. especially in the context of why I sent IBM $200.00 for the privilege of receiving "timely updates to the software that is important to me." (software choice). Were it some driver for a "niche" product I could understand, but we are talking about a "mainstream" product that defines the industry. Based upon the following that this thread picked up by accident, I think I'm safe in assuming that I'm not alone. Anyone who says IBm is not trying to suffocate the "child" must have more faith than Mary's "Joseph" Related but separate, MainConcept the German company that was producing the Video mixer/creation tool for OS/2 abandoned the OS/2 version at final beta level. The Winxx versions have gone gold. Curiously, the CEO of MainConcept, Markus Moenig, has a listed e-mail slot at their site, so I sent an "aw' shucks" letter to him. Suprisingly, he responded within 4 hours with a sincere explaination (you have to admit, that German quality for "directness" has it's charm) The reasons listed include "broken tools" such as the Visualize "C" set for openclass objects, etc. The response is lengthy, and several attempts to post here failed, the server timed me out.

This card is described in http://english.aopen.com/products/sound/aw320.htm I got the os2 installation and driver file cwos2303.zip from the cirrus web site http://www.cirrus.com/drivers/audiodrv/os2.html After installation, the following lines are added to my config.sys: BASEDEV=CWCMMPM.SYS /N:CWCAUD1$ BASEDEV=CWGMSG.SYS BASEDEV=CWCSPUD.SYS DEVICE=E:\MMOS2\CWGUTIL.SYS DEVICE=E:\MMOS2\CWWINVDD.SYS RUN=E:\MMOS2\CWCUTIL.EXE RUN=E:\MMOS2\CWDAEMON.EXE DEVICE=E:\MMOS2\OPL3.SYS /N:OPL31$ The first five lines are ok, but if any of the remaining lines are left in, the system hangs on boot. I installed on top of previous installations. I tried the method of de-installing all mmpm/2 multimedia and re-install. However after deleting the mmos2 directory in my e: boot directory, selective install of multimedia failed. First, the selective install was set to c: instead of my boot partition e: and was grayed out and not changable. Second I got a sys3175 failure message when hitting the next button on the screen where multimedia was selected. I'm running with fixpak 11 on a k6-233 system with 128 mb.

This is my first time checking out this newsgroup, since my last news server was inside my firewall, and I had virtually no access to OS/2 news.. Anyways, a few days ago I approached develeper.soundblaster.com in a demand they assist me in progging a SBLive! driver for OS/2.. I got a preliminary reply, that Creative will "check it out".. I sent a request to Asia-Pacific sb site, and they haven't replied yet.. The main reason for not letting me develop this driver easily is that they were afraid of confidentiality stuff concerning the new EMU10K1 they use, and the thought that myself (a private OS/2 user) accessing their solution databases and asking for their assistance.. attatched is the text sent to developer email a few days ago by me, and a reply to another request I posted on developer.soundblaster.com.. --------------------- start ---------------------- Hello.. I want to be able to get technical information of the SBLive!, so I could write a driver for OS/2 4.0. I am a private user and I am ready to sign a confidentiality agreement with creative. Since the only motive for me wanting to become a developer is my need to have sound on my favorite operating system, I see it as my right to enter the developer circle - even if I don't represent a commercial company.. The main idea is letting me try and write a driver for OS/2 users, and then - if creative labs. approves - I could distribute the driver (the binaries) as a solution for OS/2 users.. I have the main problem of lacking a driver for my SBLive in Linux too, since the driver Creative supplies is compiled with ONE kernel version (which is as all Linux programmers know is ABSURD). Final remark: If I knew that my new card would not work on the two OS's I REALLY use, I would have been satisfied with an SB16 !!!!!.

This chipset is used in a few products, like the EMU APS, the PCI512, SB-Live value and the SB-Live. You can always "try" to become a Registered Developer with Creative Labs, some individuals have, but I suggest that you contact Developer Relations to determine it there is any chance at all of getting at least Windows driver code that could be modified for OS2. without being a company, with verifiable products to back you up, I suspect chances that obtaining such protected code will be slim to none. DEVELOPER RELATIONS 408-546-6451 What I have is this: At this time Creative is not releasing source code for the SB-Live. We will always keep it in mind, however we can not "put the genie back in the bottle". So until we are certain that it is the right thing to do we will not be releasing the source code. I am only aware of one company that has obtained the Windows 95/98 SB- Live Driver source code, and that is Microsoft. Microsoft required it for DirectX Certification. Even at that, no source code was made available for the internal functions of the chipset used, only the driver that loads and send commands to the card. With such a requirement from Microsoft, there will be several products that Creative will not get certified for Microsoft Windows, such as the PCI64 and PCI128. because most of what this card does is software based.
