========================================================================

Thank you for downloading Uniaud 1.0.9.

Uniaud is still under development and we need your feedback to improve 

uniaud. Its very important that you also report soundcards that work! 

Uniaud is project created by InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH

Uniaud is based on the Linux ALSA project. Uniaud supports a broad range

of PCI audio cards/chipsets and AC 97 audio codecs. AC 97 audio codecs

you will find in modern systems with a Pentium II or higher build onto the

motherboard. AC 97 depends for a part of the motherboard chipset

and a small audio codec. 

For an up to date list of supported chipsets please visit the website:

Q. Uniaud detected my card successfully but when I try to play something I got

A. Make sure than your audio PCI device has exclusive irq (it is not necessary 

   in meanwhile but some PCI devices cannot work on same shared irq).

How to install Uniaud

========================

Start install.cmd and click on click on yes or OK where requested by

minstall. You will get 1 or 2 dialogs where you can toggle the amount 

of installed cards between 0 to 1. This is set by default to 

1 don not change this setting. After minstall is finished reboot your

system.

If you are having loops in the sound (when audio is played).

Or you get lockups of your system or a kerneltrap, do the following.

Restart your system. And when in he upper left hand in the corner

of the screen you see a white little blob. This little blob

is shown before the boot logo (with the OS/2 or eComStation logo is shown).

Press the key combination ALT F1. Then choose from the "Recovery Choices"

choose "F5 full hardware detection".

How to uninstall Uniaud

========================

If for some reason you are having trouble with Uniaud. Putting a REM in the 

config.sys is not the proper way to uninstall Uniaud. Start 

install.cmd again. Click on yes or OK where asked and for the "amount of

cards" change the 1 into a 0. After minstall is finished.

Reboot your machine. 

If already have minstall installed on your system and you are upgrading

to a new release you don't need to uninstall the old version of Uniaud.
