Dell Inspiron 531 Onboard HDA Nvidia & ALC 888 eCom 2.0 rc5 No 3.09 1.14rc7 Good 1) I have a fresh install of eCs RC5, the UNIAUD drivers that install with RC5 locked up the desktop hard on startup. 2) I replace UNIAUD32 with uniaud32-1.9.11.zip. Everything has been working for two week without problems now. Greggory Shaw
Compaq 4100NX ICH4 & ALC 202 eCom 2.0 rc5 No 3.09 1.14rc7 Good No problems - flash 7 /w PmW Seamonkey 1.1.7 works great on youtube. Greggory Shaw
Onboard Intel 82801G ICH7 & HDA ALC888 - No - 1.14rc6 Good RC6 works (system sounds will hang at startup; disable them)-1.9.6 sys32 required, try http://www.os2notes.com/files/uniaud32/uniaud32-1.9.11.zip LewisR

Pete Onboard HDA NVidia + Analog Devices AD1988 eCS1.x, eCS2.0RC6/7 Yes 3.14 114RC6 + uniaud32.sys v1.9.2 Acceptable The Rate It value should be "Acceptable - but naff" So far this combination of uniaud114rc6 plus uniaud32.sys from the uniaud32-1.9.2 package is the best to date but is really only barely acceptable. Edit: changed rating to Acceptable. Pete
Asus NVidia nForce2 Realtek ALC650F W4 CP2 No N/A 1.1.4 RC3 Very Good Excellent results...no issues to speak off, only missing real PM MIXER functionality! UniPm doesn't seem to work. Drivers with higher version seem to be a problem however...not sure why. DariuszP
Intel HDA 82801G (ICH7 Family) eCS 2.0 RC6a Yes 3.14 1.14RC6 / 1.9.8 Very Good Test system with Intel DG31PR desktop board. Several CPUs tested, including Dual Core, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad; all work equally well with ACPI /SMP /APIC. System sounds work; Flash audio & video in sync (using Flash 10 Preview under Firefox 3.5.4). This installation was straight off of the RC6a CD (no additional updates). LewisR
SB Live! 5.1 eCS 2.0 rc7 No 3.17 1.9.16 Very Good no comment - Edit: this card has various chip sets and the later versions may or may not work. Doesn't work /w more then 2 GB of memory. frajo
SuperMicro PDSGE Onboard 82801G (ICH7) + ALC650F (AC'97) MCP2refresh + all IBM Updates Yes OS2APIC.PSD 1.1.4RC7 Very Good None of the HDA versions 1.9.x are adequate working: System sounds looping and/or stuttering sound/video with WarpVision, SMPlayer (Qt3) or Emperoar. rbm

Creative Labs SB Live! Value TriTech TR28602 2.0 rc6a No 3.14 1.09 Good I get occasional hangs with SM 2.0 and SMPlayer, but I can't connect those with UniAud. Tom Brown
INTEL HDA INTEL Intel 945 ICH7 Family eCS 20RC5 Yes 3.17 1.9.22 Good CPU ASUS P5LD2 X/1333 Core 2 DUO with ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC I use also UNIAUD for WIN/OS2 that woork as best as old DTA that now work only in UNI processor. Anchieri Giulio
ASUS HDA Intel P5LD2-X/1333 eCS 20 GA Yes 3.18 1.92 Acceptable Is not possible to ear sound playing with Mahjiongg solitair or other native games of OS/2 G.M. Anchieri
noname noname C-Media CMI8768 eCS 2.0 No 3.18 1.92 Acceptable Cheap no-name PCI-Soundcard (10€). With my motherboard Asrock - AM2NF3-VSTA intermittent sound loops when using ACPI/SMP Hansi

Lenove/ThinkCentre M52 Sabrent -- SBT-SP6C 6-Channel 5.1 Surround Sound 3D PCI Sound Card CMI8768 eCS 20GA No none Won't work with onboard chip Very Good After determining that the onboard sound chip (82810G ICH7 HDA) in this computer would NOT function using UniAud, I purchased a cheap Sabrent PCI Card. Everything now works! Driver which has been updated on 5/31/10 is available at Hobbes, "CMedia023.zip". Uniaud will work with the Sabrent PCI card, but special driver is better. B. Allen
Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 with AD1981B at irq 9 eCS 2.0 GA No 3.18 1.92 Worst Intel ICH5 with AD1981B at irq 9 mixer: Analog Devices AD1981B I have never managed to get any sound with any version of Uniaud. Peter Moylan
Creative Labs SB Live! 5.1 [SB0220] AC97a:454d4328 eCS 2.0 GA No 3.18 1.92 Very Good The installation did not detect the onboard CM6501. After disabling the onboard chip and inserting the SB card, the multimedia install installed SB Live! Wave Audio 0.8.2 which produced pure noise. Changed that to Uniaud 1.92 and all is fine. frajo
Creative Labs SB Live! 5.1 [SB0060] AC97a:83847608 eCS 2.0 rc7 Yes 3.18 1.92 Good sometimes the sound hangs in an endless loop and i have to rebooot RBRi
Gigabyte GA-G41M Onboard HDA Intel with Realtek ALC888B eCS 2.0 GA Yes 3.18 1.95 1.9.26 Good I had problems with default uniaud drivers, changed to Uniaud195-1926.zip. Seems to be the best yet !!! Greggory Shaw
IBM AC97 AC97 eCs 2.1 No eCs 2.1 standard eCs 2.1 standard eCs 2.1 standard Bad When playing wav or mp3 files using Z or mplayer the sound loops intermittently so that - for example - one word gets repeated. The playing then resumes normally. Eventually the sound jams and loops endlessly. Closing the playing application fixes problem. Recording using Wavhdrec or the inbuilt eCs application works for a while and then jams. This is really bad and prevents me from recording or playing media files. EeeJii

Go to there website and check the specs on it. Or better yet. If you have the box. Look on the box. It’s not that hard to find out. If all else fails and you don’t know what type of sound card you got because it’s a base computer. (meaning preloaded from Dell, Gateway, Compact, Etc.) Then go to either the computer retailers website..or the computer manufactures website and look for your model number. cheap car insurance ZuEqqWaUlTVsjTqEVp
