Aureon 5.1 PCI

This sound-card is not yet recognized by HAIKU.
The card is working fine in ZETA.
It is a C-Media CMI8338/8738 based card and should work…
It uses YMF744-B-V remarked chip.

Hopefully someone is looking into this.

According to…

http://dev.haiku-os.org/changeset/21536

…there is a driver in the repository, but it may not be included in the nightly images by default. You may want to ask on the development mailing list; you can subscribe from here:

http://www.freelists.org/list/haiku-development

Doesn’t look like it’s currently in the image by default (you can always check in build/jam/HaikuImage for that info)…

I suspect you could add it to your own image by placing:

AddDriversToHaikuImage audio hmulti : cmedia ;

into your UserBuildConfig and building a new image. Don’t know if it builds or works properly - might even cause Haiku to crash on startup.

The driver is using the old audio API thus, unless the “LegacyAudio” media add-on is fully implemented (and working), you won’t get any sound despite this driver works ok (for playback, at least, in R5).

This situation also applies to other drivers, like the sis7018, and most sound drivers from BeOS R5.

OSS is the other alternative.

I think I will wait for the HAIKU alpha without sound.
Anyway thx very much for your brain work.
