Generic WIN/OS2 audio driver and in the future maybe DOS! (from Roderick Klein)
Well the project has been going for a while and now there is a public release of the generic WIN-OS/2 audio driver for OS/2. We told almost nobody until we had something nice. The driver supports WAVE IN and WAVE OUT. It should work with Warp 3 and 4, if you have no WIN-OS/2 support this should be your rescue! It has not been tested with a very big amount of sound cards but it should work with any card that has an OS/2 PDD driver (native OS/2 support!, so only sound in OS/2 and not in MDOS or WIN-OS/2). One of the cards that has this, for
instance, is the aureal card.
At this moment MIDI out is being worked on and MIDI IN will be looked at. MIDI out is working a bit and sometime in the first month of 2000 a release with MIDI MAY come. When WIN-OS/2 functions correctly software SB16 emulation will be looked at. It's just a theory that this will work, but for more info, see the site!
Here the first public version can be downloaded. Please don't spread this version so that the Internet won't be filled up with old versions. When it can be spread, we (John and Roderick) will tell when it can be done.

Note: Matrox-drivers (from Christoph Vogelbusch)
If you are using an older Matrox G200 or G100 (1st generations) you should use the new available drivers because the flasmemory has a bug and loose sometimes informations. The new drivers are updating from time to time the flashmemory at the startup.
If you can read German (or want to translate it) you can read it from the Heise Newsticker (a German PC-magazin).

Sound Blaster driver install updated (from Daniel Caetano)
I just released the new version 1.2 of the Sound Blaster drivers install. This new version is based on the latest drivers provided by Creative (2.30.0) in a pack based on Colin Hildinger's package. There are some corrections and new icons for Creative programs, plus it will install WinOS2 sound support automatically. The package includes all software ever made for OS/2 by Creative Labs.

The supported sound boards are:

  • Sound Blaster 16

  • Sound Blaster 16 PnP

  • Sound Blaster 16 WaveTable

  • Sound Blaster 16 WaveTable PnP

  • Sound Blaster 32

  • Sound Blaster 32 PnP16

  • Sound Blaster AWE32

  • Sound Blaster AWE32 PnP

  • Sound Blaster 64

  • Sound Blaster 64 PnP

  • Sound Blaster AWE64

  • Sound Blaster AWE64 PnP

  • Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold

  • Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold PnP


Note that this package is not supported by Creative Labs. I cannot guarantee you support either because I have changed only the Install process, and not the driver itself.
