Hi,

Has been an issue with the SigmaTel High Definition Audio not working for months now and no one seems to be trying to fix it? There are quite a few posts about it.

It affects most new Dell (and HP and probably others I presume) laptops.

If the setup.exe is run from the Dell driver install it works, but the driver from that in the packs ends up with a yellow exclam in devmngr.

If anyone could look into this it would be great!

sorry i was in a rush to go out and had just installed, sysprepped, ghosted it and on final test then realised path mistake and posted in haste smile

you have screwed the root path up on your release m8 !

whoever made the latest monitor pack (070818) has screwed the root path up, can it be removed from FTP so no one else just wastes an hour on a rebuild with it like i just did, grrr

is this combined with gilesw's additions are are there now two concurrent releases?

PC hung (about 10.30) - can see time change below , apparently installing monitor but presume was somehting to do with graphics drivers?
Was restarted at 11.40 and can see if then installed monitor fine
Was a new Dell lattitude D610

great, please let me know so I can populate the universal imaging thread smile

I dont like to sound like a broken record, but is anyone looking into this? - seems 50% of all the posts in this thread are about same thing not working.

tbh, if the full YYYY-MM-DD was used with hyphens, it would probably be clearer it related to a date at least.

...and although bit is compleltey offtopic, Imperial measures advantage is their scaling in relation to real life, that metric doesn't have (I use both btw.) this is the best way to explain.
car tyre 30psi = 2.07bar
mountbike is 50 psi = 3.45bar
racing bike 120psi = 8.27 bar
the point being its easy to compare numbers on a scale of say 1 to 100 when the units fit the task. Metric units for things like trye pressures are useless, either in bar or N/m^2.
If I went to measure my car tyre pressure and found it was 1.93 bar , I really wouldn't know if that was about right or too flat becuase the difference in the two numbers is minimal. However if it was 25 psi I could easily see it was 5 out and what fraction that was of what it should be.
I grew up using entirely metric measures yet now always use feet and inches for measuring 90% things because they fit the day to day sizes of things more sensibly. Unless you have used both systems you perhaps cannot understand this though smile [ I tried explaining it to my gf once who only ever used metric and she couldn't 'get it'.]

AJ, yes we are, but if Helmi could just try it , it would solve a big issue as to relevance of SFC / sfc_os.dll nd put the issue to rest - and then I can write up my vmware/sysprep/universal image thing

lol, yeah I didn't either smile Helmi explained it and its also been now updated ion the sticky thread about releasing them.
The last number is the date in a modified version of the international date format, (which is YYYY-MM-DD) - which makes it evenly confusing for everyone as I have never seen it used anywhere ever except here smile
so today being 18th of ausgust 2007 = 2007-08-18 in IDF and in driverpack format is 070818 so pack would be DP_Monitor_wnt5_x86-32_070818.7z

ooops! - made a mistake in last modem pack, culled a needed HFXsetup.exe file, uploaded with missing file back in.

frag: do you want to formerly update DP_Misc yourself? - you might want to put the O2 smartcardreader bit into my pack?
I have updated the modem one myself with the newer modem too for the D830's
I think the graphics one got udpated in main pack.
The sound one I think got updated too in main pack but doesnt seem to work.

Hi helmi,
I ran my modified dll through modifype (had to run it in vmware as doesnt work in vista x64) and it did indeed alter same hex address at 0x0140, so guess that is crc.
Anyhow, could you see which way yours is changed, if its one of them?

I meant replace source (with original file) and reinstall - if you could try it on something with a known outcome and see if it changes anything ? I think it would be quite useful to elliminate this relevancy because I imagine lots of people aren't necesarily using a ryanvm/nLite source.

yeah it would be great to fix this, appart from the radeon mobility graphics driver not working on the D620 this is only other main issue.

Fragbert made a fix pack for the Sound about this, I believe it got incorporated into the main sound pack but doesnt appear to work?

Helmi:

Sorry I didn't know that was the date, seems hard to read to me, being back to front - the tutorial just says to name them;
DP_myDriverPacksNameWithoutSpaces_wnt5_x86-32_myVersionSystem.7z

I had just incremeted with next logical looking number, maybe why people just end up putting 'mod' after things they changed as they don't know?

I just put all the other info into a post but once again this board stopped working yet again for a few mins so it was all lost when I hit submit (happens about 30% of the time)
Iv'e renamed the Touchscreen to end with an 8, MD5 stays same - folder is \TS\

it was a huge gif to begin with and so didnt rescale down in PS,so had to convert it, then resize, then save out, but by then its smaller as a jpg
anyhow i just recropped it, im sorry its not perfect! just illustrating some issue with the signing policy disabler.

regarding SFC,
the modification I use, suggested http://network.mpei.ac.ru/lang/rus/faqw … rh8575.htm
offset 0xECE9, changes from 33 C0 40 to 90 90 90  - this then allows the registry change to effect SFC as pre-SP2 enabling setting SFCDisable to 0xffffff9d to disable it.

I have just this moment looked at the file in my original image that was based on RyanVM
This is a different alteration, of which I cannot find any docs about, whereas above change reenables registry, I think this just completely disables it no matter what reg is set.
offset 0xECE4, changes 3B C0 EB 32 90 to 83 F8 9D 75 08
and
offset 0x0140, changes E2 E0 to 55 5B (this may be just the CRC correction?)

Helmi: a)is yours changed in that way?
b) any chance u can replace your file with the original and see if it makes any difference?
Then at elast we can put this issue to bed as having any relevance to peoples problems?

Thanks smile

Helmi

I have now tried with original XP SP2 sfc_os.dll and with a modified one+reg change [reg change now again working with the modded dll, as it did with SP1] - and it makes no difference to that count or how any of the drivers install. >> n.b. I use the finisher on runonce after sysprep <<

I do remember, perhaps in March?, not having this behavior with a previous dp_base - i remember it beeping away as all the unsigned drivers got processed and annoying everyone at work.


Also, I use the finisher for an entirely different reason, adding my SmartCardReader pack to machines in current use. When I use the finisher in this situation (really just to populate devpath) I DO get all the resets. On some machines the driver signing disabler thing DOESN'T work on one particular one and I get popup as in screenshot. Older machines possibily with SP1 and no updates seem to get popup but newer ones do not.

http://www.richud.com/disabling-not-working.jpg

Here you can see I am using it just for adding the pack and it resettin, but the driver signing thing not working when it hits a non whql signed driver.

bump bump bump

This is all now ok simply by not running makePNF.exe prior to sysprep (as had been suggested by Bashrat!)
