Re: What's the trick for adding IDT drivers to DP_sound? (4 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
I used the latest sound DriverPacks on an ECS 945GCT-M/1333 and had similar problems. I couldn't find any uninstaller, so I downloaded the drivers from ECS and installed over top--this didn't help. The next day I did a new installation and was greeted with the same problem. This time I did a find in the registry replacing all occurrences (there were many) of "c:\d\s\zi\" with "%programfiles%\IDT\WDM\"--still not working. I did the ECS driver installation on top of this, and after one really weird error with the jack-sensing, it seems to be working.
I wish I was more adept at this stuff, but if I can help/test for a sound DP update, please let me know.

Either that, or introduce another user choice in the BASE Ã la ATi CP/CCC.
I would recommend using the Sigmatel CP as the only option. The installer is less than half the size of the Intel CP, and it's used by many motherboard manufacturers, instead of just Intel.
Forgot about the other part. 
I'd consider it important to get both FP options working in the DP. Other HDA drivers (ie: Realtek) seem to work with both FPs automatically. If this isn't possible, choosing the HDA FP option would seem to make sense seeing that its an HDA driver. I can test my DG965RY on both types of FP if needed.

Hi
I like A-Open cases, and lately these have a wire to front panel which sports two keyed connectors.
That's a ten pin marked HD-audio and 8 pin is marked AC97.
Interesting. Both official specs are 2x5 connectors with 9 pins in use (pin #8 is not used or used as a key). However, I have seen some AC97 FPs not using #7 either (it's listed as "Filtered +5 V used by analog audio circuits)". I have never seen 10 pins in use, nor a 2x4 plug. So much for standards I guess.

As for the front panel, I'm not even sure how to differeciate between the two...
Isn't that just a break-out box for the connector found on the mobo anyway?
So, one would assume if the on-board SC was HDA, so would be the FP somehow...
This is an excellent question. Both standards, AC97 (in 1997) and HDA (in 2004), were created by Intel, but used by everyone, including AMD-based systems. Even now, a newly purchased motherboard or case can come in either standard. However, if it's a pre-built mass-produced system, you can expect them to be matched up properly. The shape of the connectors are the same, which allows some cross-compatibility (as well as a lot of confusion). You can often use a HDA motherboard in a AC97 FP case, especially if the motherboard's BIOS has an "legacy front panel" setting enabled in the BIOS. The opposite will not work. Motherboards are usually pretty easy to figure out, if you're looking to buy, it'll be listed in the features or on the box, and if its an existing system, you can either look in the device manager, or check what drivers are distributed with it. Cases on the other hand can be difficult. I deal mostly with In-Win cases, and their website used to have these great tables clearly showing which cases had which, but alas its gone. The two use most often: Z589T is AC97, and S605T2 is HDA. From what I recall, it was about a 50/50 split. I'm fairly certain that if you were electronically-savvy, you could use a multimeter and this specification guide to figure it out.

Intel should certainly have some sort of guide on how to tell, I for one definitely cannot by the outward looks of it.
Well there's the guide I mentioned above (which is over my head). You can compare the pinouts in this article. But the most useful thing for me is this troubleshooting page, namely the last section.

Re: Intel SigmaTel HDA (19 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
I should have a spare one of these systems available at any time to test with. If there's any other grunt work I can do, I'd be glad to help.
Somewhat unrelated, I tried the current Sound A/B on an Intel D945GCCR with Realtek HDA (but AC97 front panel) and it works fine.

Re: Intel SigmaTel HDA (19 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
I did another new install on the same system with the previous version of Sound A/B and it works fine! Does this make sense?
I'm wondering though, if Intel seems unable to create a single installer that can be compatible with both AC97 and HD front panels, will it be possible for DriverPacks to do so?

I'm sure this relates to all the recent posts here about Dells with SigmaTel HDA not working. In my case it's an Intel DG965RY motherboard. Here's my device info:
Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio
This device is working properly.
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_284B&SUBSYS_21138086&REV_02\3&61AAA01&0&D8
SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7618&SUBSYS_80862113&REV_1002\4&1BF2AD82&0&0201If I download and install 5.10.5258_MSXP_W_STACGUI_HDFP.exe everything works fine. Please be aware, this is for cases with HDA-compliant front panel audio. If the case has AC97-complaint front panel audio (AFAIK most OEM cases still are), Intel wants you to use 5.10.5258_MSXP_W_STACGUI_AC97FP.exe instead.
If you need any further information, or testing, please let me know, I'd be more than willing to help.
