OS 4.1 update 4 Wazp3D SM502 Audio

Interrogative · Post by **Interrogative** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 1:29 pm

Good day,

Something seems to be causing a conflict between the updated SM502 audio driver (6.2) and Wazp3D (52.1).

Before I updated to the new SM502 audio driver, I had installed Wazp3D (renaming the old Warp3D library "warp3D.old.library" and renaming wazp3D.library warp3D.library as per instructions). Audio worked under the older SM502 audio driver.

After updating to the new audio driver, two things happened. First, I had no audio, no matter how many times I rebooted (warm and cold boots). Second, after a cold boot, Workbench would appear in a 640x480x8bit screen. After a warm reset, my screenmode would return to its 1280x1024x32 screen.

I tried deleting non-SM502 files from AHI and audiomodes drawers. I tried setting the executable flags on the SM502 files. I checked and rechecked the AHI prefs settings. No sound came from my SAM460ex. Finally, I restored my old Warp3D library, deleting the wazp3D library. After a reboot, I had sound.

Hardware
SAM460ex lite
512MB
EAX1600 PCIE 256MB video
sii680 PCI card

Software installed on SYS: partition
OS4.1 update 4 (fairly fresh install on a SFS partition alongside a 1 GB SWAP and JXFS Work partition)
wazp3D (52.1) deleted for the present
SM502 audio (6.2) active
Timberwolf (latest beta)
MUIOWB
AmiUpdate

I will attempt a serial capture when I get home from work if that would be helpful for a diagnosis.

Edit 04/17/2012
I tried booting with debug level set at 1 and later at level 2. I did not get any additional information captured; however, my SAM460ex is now booting into the 640x480x8 screenmode with every cold boot. I reset the debug level to 0. It still booted into 640x480x8. I removed the SM502 audio driver, and had no more problems booting into 640x480x8.

I reactivated SM502 audio driver and Wazp3D. I set debug to serial level 4 and activated AHI debug. I cold booted, resulting in 640x480x8 screenmode with no sound (I expected no sound on the first boot). Here are the results.

In case anyone was following this thread, trying to figure out what was wrong, I thought I'd update you all.

After capturing the debug output above, I wanted to remove the "serial" option from the os4_commandline debug command. After some thinking about my transfer values (which are one DMA setting below the max transfer listed under idetool), I decided to reset uboot to factory settings. Guess what?

Resetting uboot to factory default settings allowed me to have both sound and wazp3D. Before anyone else says it, may I be the first to say that this is wierd! However, since I have both sound and wazp3D, it's good wierd

I set up my transfer settings to DMA again. I still have sound, wazp3D, and only the occasional 640x480x8 screenmode (a cli pops up right before workbench stating that it can't find X1600 screenmodes). What could be hiding the X1600 screenmodes on occasion?
