Is it? :-) The driver is still in the uploads queue of os4depot. So I couldn't provide a direct link yet. For the time being you can download it from there.

Yeah! Yeah, that what i call real new developer join ! Instead of crying how all bad, just asking few questions, dealing with annoying issues in process and then just give final product. Those ones who only talk and fancy dream about how all can be, need to check how real things should be done when one for real want to do something.
Will buy one of these cards for sure. Thanks ! |

Re: Yeah! Thanks
 When I bought my X5000 last december there was no driver available for any soundcard that is still on sale. That's where the idea was born to write this driver. I would recommend you to buy one of the many available cm8828+cm9882A 7.1 card with digital daughter boards. You can find a selection for example here. |

How about this? https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaste ... e-Headphone/dp/B00EO6X4XG
Sound has been the one thing annoying me since day one of X5000.
If this works I can get by tomorrow :)
Nice work!

Re: How about this? @ DStasny
Yes, that one works. Discovery is currently slow (adds a couple of seconds to the startup of your machine because I have to discover a lot of nodes/widgets) and sound control a bit slugish (same reason). But that will improve when I implement a specific profile for that card. Still I would recommend to use this card: CM8828+CM9882A This is a better value for money. The version without digital in/out is the same price as the soundblaster FX. |

Great!! Thanks for making more hardware usable to the NG Amiga`s.
I know in what timeframe you developed this driver...its amazing.
Keep up the good work!

SB @geennaam
I found this one in my local shop: https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/bd0d11 ... creative-sb-audigy-fx-51/ Which is "Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy FX", and cost here 45$. And have a question in light of your latest posts : is this one have no issues with slower startup for few seconds, etc ? This one fully works as expected ? Thanks! |

Re: New AHI driver for AmigaOS4 Will this work with the X1000?
According to Ranger it looks like the audio is on the PCI-e bus and it identifies the sound as follows: 0x4383 Rev: 0x00 (SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)) |

Re: SB @kas1e,
Yes, that is the Soundblaster Audigy FX. This one is fully supported. It is not an issue. Just the result of fully discovering the audio card at boot each time. What I will next is make a fixed configuration of several known codecs. Also the one on the Soundblaster audigy FX. Then it will fly through initialization and will also be more responsive in adjusting volume. Now, it needs to adjust about 20 different widgets for a volume step increase. While I only have to adjust 3 (in case of 5.1 audio). |

Re: New AHI driver for AmigaOS4 @ktadd
I'm not sure, you can always try. But there is already an audio driver for the X1000 called HDaudio. Would't you want to use this one instead.? Anyways, if you want to try then you have to add the vendor id and device id to hda.cards in envarc:. |

Re: New AHI driver for AmigaOS4 @ktadd
@geenaam Doesn't work on X1000 I get a deep freeze of the system once the first sound ought to be played (that is with only the files in place, not even used in Sound prefs yet) I get this on serial: Couldn't find a mix or mux HD audio card found: Vendor = 1002, Device = 4383 If you want to support it (since it is the same chip base, i'm ready for testing)  |

Re: New AHI driver for AmigaOS4 ok. First of all, there is already an AHI driver for the X1000. Using this driver feels a bit redundant.
But let me explain those two messages. Couldn't find a mic or mux means that the hda codec discovery routine evaluated all available widgets and none of them were identiefied as a mixer. This is a bit misleading because i do not search for muxes yet. Have to check if there is a loophole somewhere in case none is detected. The second message means that the init routine has succesfully finished and also prints which hardware was found and initialised in the hda.cards file. From here on we are good to go. Are you sure that you have removed "HDaudio.audio" from devs:AHI? This driver is hardcoded for the same hardware. Also make sure that no mixer for that X1000 driver is loaded. Because both the X1000 mixer and the X1000 hdaudio.audio driver will open the same hardware and conflict with my driver. |

Re: New AHI driver for AmigaOS4 @geenaam
No problem, the hdaudio driver works well with the onboard sound chip, just thought you might want to extend your driver's support Plus it's always nice to get something that might be enhanced with more stuff, like your Mixer etc. I completely removed the hdaudio stuff from both AHI and AudioModules, but i kept the Sound settings in place (which still pointed to hdaudio), maybe that was the culprit? I don't think i have any kind of Mixers installed. It freezes on booting into Workbench, since i have the startup sound enabled |

Re: New AHI driver for AmigaOS4 That is actually not a bad idea. It will help make my discovery routines more robust. I will come back to you about that.
I enabled the startup sound on my setup and experience no lockup. Sound is played as expected. I also have no mixer in wbstartup so it's not loaded yet. I think the X1000 contains an IDT 92HD700 codec. And this codec indeed doesn't feature a mixer. Instead two multiplexers are available. But like I said above. I don't discover them yet because all audio codecs that I've encountered so far have at least one mixer. But my driver simply skips input selection when no mixer is detected. So this issue must be somewhere else. The internal buildup very different from what i've seen so far. So it's actually a good test case. |

Re: Is it? :-) Sometimes I record something through the microphone on my Amigas. On x1000 and built-in HDAUDIO chip everything works OK. Unfortunately on x5000 with CMI8738 card, everything is quietly recorded and unfortunately there is no possibility to volume up the recorded sound. For example, in Ahirecord Input Gain is inactive. That's why I thought about buying SoundBlaster Audigy FX. Question, Is on this card and on your driver I will be able to adjust the volume of the input sound?

Re: Is it? :-) yes you can control the monitor volume and input gain with all tested cards. So not only The sound blaster audigy FX but also the CM8828 cards.
I used AHIrecord from os4depot to test this functionality. |

promote @geennaam
Promote your driver on Facebook amigaos4 group a bit, and made a fancy video of installing/testing it with SB Audigy FX: https://youtu.be/iGE1Hm1LF1I |

Re: How about this? Wanted to let you know installed card you linked and tested. Works great. My X5000 no longer has any PCI cards. I have one problematic fan to address and my system has been pretty much rebuilt.
Thank you for efforts on driver. If you have a donation setup I would be happy to throw a enough for a beverage or two Regards Doug |
