I have added these I am just waiting for someone to fix the FTP out of space error and then I will upload them for you to test.

@Jaak

Hope things are well I have a question about where we are at with the test packs. Moving forward do we plan on using these and if so what are we going to do when there are updated drivers like is the case right now with R/1 and R/2 in the new Sound A that muiz just released? R/1 has all kinds of HWIDS  that looks like you had removed there is also work that is going on with the Sound Blaster cards, I have ordered some of the different sound blaster cards so I can help test. It seems that we have all kinds of test packs being worked on by different people which is excellent but I was just wondering  do you all have a common goal if so what is it should I stop using the test pack with the HWIDS removed and start use the one that muiz, mr_smartepants and other are working on? Just looking for some direction also do we plan on implementing the fix for the SoundMAX control panel that I tested it works and fixes the error when running the directX diag sound test.

Thanks,

I get this error when trying to upload some modified packs:

552 Transfer aborted. Disk quota exceeded.

@Jaak

I totally agree with you the removals were necessary and need to stay. Yes some were removed that probably needed to stay but for the most part I would bet it did more good then bad. We need to continue to work together when there are problems we need people to post the log files so that fixes can be implemented and then tested and reported back to us. I know the work you have done has helped me and I would like to think the fixes that I have offered to others has helped them. The bottom line is nothing is going to be perfect but if everyone contributes information we can fix a majority of the problems.

Thanks again
Jaak, Overflow, Debugger and the others who have help me in the last month,

Hi Jaak hope things are well I have a question about another hwid you removed.

This hwid was in this folder D/S/SM/A/3/0 (Sound B) and was in this inf file (smwdmSIS.inf) PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_7012&SUBSYS_810D1043 and this is where it should have stayed it looks like you deleted it and keep the one in (Sound A) D/S/R/1/ (alcxauiz.inf) This hwid is for an ASUS A7S8X-MX motherboard and is in folder 13 of the drivers Debugger posted.

Hi Jaak & Overflow sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Overflow is correct that is how I got it to work here is what I used in the ini file. Overflow I was following you instructions to the tee and that was the problem in the beginning I was using exc_1_command1    = "%DPSROOT%\D\S\S\U\Setup.exe" /s /f1"%DPSROOT%\D\S\S\U\Setup.iss" instead of using this for the directory layout ( \D\S\SM\A\3\ ) I am going to do another build this evening with this (exc_1_command1    = "%DPSROOT%\D\S\SM\A\3\Setup.exe" /s /f1"%DPSROOT%\D\S\SM\A\3\Setup.iss") to make sure it still work and I have also removed some files that are not need I am going to ty and remove some other files I think are not need to slim it down some more also do we need all the language files in the control panel install?

[SM-A-3]

exc_count        = 1

exc_1_tagFiles    = 1

The fix for your problem is to add the HWID back in to the Driver Pack B. I did a quick look and it looks like Jaak removed yours from B and added it to A which I don't think he should have done. Once you do a test with the changes I suggest and if it work right please let Jaak know so he can update his work on the nightly. Here is what needs to be changed.

Remove your HWID from Sound Pack A it is located in the inf file here.
D/S/R/1/ALCXAUD.INF

Next add this to your Sound Pack B
%CMI9738.DeviceDesc%=AC97,      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C5&SUBSYS_18881019

It will be added to the inf file located here.
D/S/C/1/CMICHX.INF

Once you have made the changes repack the driver packs and give it a test and report back also if it fail please provide some log files so people can see where the problems are DPFinsher.log and setupapi.log

@overflow - ok thanks for the info that helps but I still don't see how just adding the setup.exe and the setup.iss is going to install the control panel if I do not include the files on the disk. Please download the drivers here http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/soc … Q1Camr.zip and unzip them and have a look at the folder structure and I think you will understand my question better. There are folders in the zip file like this.

SM_Panel with a sub directory Sys (These are the control panel files I think?)

SM_PNP with a sub directory Sys (This is the PNP driver that I know is needed with out it the control panel will not find the sound card)

There are a few more directory's and there are other files in the root some I know aren't need like the file 269601USA8.exe it is some kind of patch file for 98.

So if you get a chance could you please download the driver file and look at it an let me know what you think.

Thanks,
dolivas

I will work on this and see what I can come up with for everyone I will report back in a few days on my progress. So much to learn and so little time......

Thanks,
dolivas

I don't know I am kind at a loss now... Do you have any log files at all? also what does the error say when DPFinsher quites?

I have run both of the sound test packs together with KTD and have not had this problem at all are you running the test packs? or the current releases? Also what problem are you having with Graphics B?
