SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

I'm installing the SoundMAX driver.  A warning appears:
"The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing..."
It recommends discontinuing installation and requesting software that has passed Logo testing.  Should I install anyway?
Kind regards,

  • Solaris 10 x86 5/08 audio driver for SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio

    Hello out there, I recently installed Solaris 10 x86 5/08 on my IBM ThinkPad T60 (2007-63U) and I'm really impressed how well it is working.
    The only thing I've found not working so far is the audio.
    I've installed the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0 from:
    http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3&subcat=Audio%20Devices
    ...but it still is not recognizing the audio device.
    Everything else is working great (thank you Sun and the OpenSolaris Community!!!!!!!), so getting the audio working would be even better.
    Any pointers anyone has on what to look for on the system (e.g. in /var/adm/messages) or how to configure the audio to support the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio would be greatly appreciated.

    ...well, I've tried building oss-v4.0-build1016-src-cddl but I haven't been able to get it to work.
    In preparation for the build, I did install Sun Studio 12 (from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp ), patched it, and installed gawk-3.1.6 ( from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html ) and ran configure/make install as instructed which successfully completed.
    The following is what I get when executing ossdetect:
    ================================================================================
    rem_drv osscore
    rem_drv hdaudio
    rem_drv ossusb
    rem_drv sadasupport

    To note, the Solaris 10 x86 5/08 installation I am running on is the full distribution +OEM.
    I also cannot find the "soundon" or "soundoff" scripts referenced in the OSS build instructions.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.

  • HP TouchSmart iq512sc error with windows 7 SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 5.1

    Hello I have problems with my HP TouchSmart iq512sc error with windows 7 SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 5.1 surround sound receiver conete SPDIF after update from vista 64 bit to windows 7 began this problem
    only nomal audio but no support from the surround sound of 5.1 channel SPDIF what the error may attend
    I hope you can help me
    Sincerely,
    Steve

    maybe your spdif default properties, in the supported format tab, options there are configured too high for your revceiver???
    is there an error code on your receiver?  if there is an error code check the troubleshooting section in the manual your receiver came with.
    you could also try in windows media center, go to the tasks->settings and click windows media center setup->setup your speakers for 5.1 and hit the test button..

    Can anyone give me a link to the audio drivers?

    lenovo doesn't offer a 64-bit XP/2003 driver for the soundmax card.   the only one available is linked below.   it might be worth trying but it's difficult to say whether or not it will install.   you may have to unpack the executable and manually install the driver.

  • Problems: T60 & SoundMAX Integrated & Vista

    Hi,
    I've some troubles with SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio that means that my T60 doesn't reproduce sounds at all or doesn't reproduce some type of sounds (like Wav WMA).
    I've tried installing the last update from Lenovo Site and also installing the last update from Microsoft, but the situation doesn't change.
    Is there anyone that knows the solution

  • No SPDIF (digital audio out) on Advanced dock with T60p/Vista

    Hello,
    Has anyone used the RCA jack on the back of the advanced dock to send digital audio to a home theater system? It's not working for me. Here are some of the particulars of my situation.
    Windows Vista SP1 (but I had the same problem under XP; yesterday's upgrade to Vista was in hopes of solving this)
    Windows Media Center setup wizard recognizes the presence of the SPDIF output
    Windows audio setup recognizes the presence of the SPDIF output and claims it's working (screenshot below)
    Coaxial digital audio cable is good (tested this by using a SqueezeBox2 to pass audio through it into the receiver)
    Receiver is good and configured properly (tested this by using a SqueezeBox2 to drive the same input over coaxial SPDIF)
    Audio driver is SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 6.10.1.5500, dated 7/24/2007
    ThinkPad T60p BIOS is 2.22
    No sound comes out no matter what I do
    Here are a few screenshots.

    There may be a clue in this last one. When I click "Test" my receiver "flaps" between displaying "Stereo" and "Dolby Digital" about twice per second, as though it's trying but failing to get a lock on the signal. Remember that the cable and receiver are tested good with another digital audio source.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts!

    Hey!
    I reverted back to the old drivers and got my SPDIF Port working again.
    Link to the old version is here:

  • I want to find the digital audio output on my Pavilion vd6853ea notebook

    I have spent far too long trying to find where this output is located.
    I have a very good Hifi and at the moment am using a USB cable to connect to my DAC.
    It looks like there is a realtec digital output somewhere on the notebook as it show up when I go into the playback devices and it tests ok visually.
    The 3.5 jack plug is just analog and not a hybrid spdif.
    Where is it????????
    Please help as I am getting really fed up now!

    Thank you so much for the fast reply.
    I thought that may have to be the case.
    Can I please ask you a few other questions?
    If I want to get a digital audio output not using a HDMI (My DAC doesn't have this input), can I get a good result with something like a Musical Fidelity V link USB to S/Pdif converter or a M2Tech Hiface digital audio interface? Sorry,  I cannot make a recommendation on either of those products as I am not familiar with them. 
    Is it possible to change the sound card with an optical or coaxial output? Your notebook's sound is an integrated solution. It is a chip soldered (integrated) onto the system board. It can't be updated.
    Thanks again for the kind help!

  • Powerbook (digital audio) and 1/8" jack NOT getting along

    ok see if you can help me troubleshoot this.
    i bought two of these cables:
    <http://www.cablesforless.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2779>
    "Our Custom Made 3.5mm Male to 2-Male 1/4 inch phono plugs audio cables are perfect for connecting your speakers and microphones. These cables feature Belden's 1800B digital XLR cable and Steren® precision machined connectors. To ensure maximum signal integrity and protection from RF and electromagnetic interference the cable also features a Beldfoil® shield and fully shielded connectors. Professional termination using high grade solder ensures optimal signal transmission. Designed for optimal sound quality, Belden's performance speaks for itself. Compare Belden's specifications (below) with those of other digital XLR cables and see for yourself how Belden cable is unmatched. Belden Brilliance® teamed with Steren Connectors brings audio to life!"
    sounds good, right? they both exhibit the following symptoms.
    i'm using it in the headphone jack of my powerbook g4 15" and going out to a little mixer so i can hear system audio, itunes, etc. through my system. this longer cable is replacing a monster cable of the same kind (but shorter).
    i'm getting absolutely HORRIBLE buzz when i plug it into the headphone port. if i jiggle it a bit i can get it to behave but only if it sits just right.
    on a crt imac and an older titanium powerbook G4 the issue is much better. i still hear a line hum. i wouldn't want to record like this, but it's not a nightmare.
    on an ipod plugged into the power adapter it works beautifully. however, i CAN get it to buzz horribly if i jiggle the plug as i insert/remove it.
    eyeballing it with the monster cable tip, it looks exactly the same.
    so on one hand, the monster cable works great in all uses.
    the cablesforless cable works terribly on the powerbook but nowhere else.
    now here's a clue: the powerbook G4 has combination analog/digital input and analog/digital output jacks. i haven't been able to repeat it reliably, but the cablesforless cable seems to be able to trigger the digital interface part, as evidenced by a red light shooting out of the port.
    unplugging the powerbook totally removes the buzz.
    i get the buzz when this cable is in EITHER the input or output jack.
    tried a different power supply in a different jack in the same room... same results both ports (slightly different tone to the buzz)
    if i remove the little mixer and plug the 1/4" cable ends into two inputs on a practice amp, i get the same issue.
    finally, i got another digital audio powerbook g4 15" and the connection seems to be slightly more reliable, but still problematic.

    For starters, EPUB is a profile of XHTML, not HTML5. Further, audio and video support are part of the recently-approved EPUB3, which the release notes for ADE 1.8 explicitly say is not yet fully supported. Specifically, <epub:trigger> will allow you to use audio and video: http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-contentdocs.html#sec-xhtml-epub-trigger
    Do these EPUB files that you're not seeing in ADE pass validation? http://validator.idpf.org/
    Basically, it sounds like you're trying to do things that ADE isn't supposed to support yet, and in a way it is unlikely to ever support (since ADE is known to be pretty conformant to the EPUB standards, it's very likely it will support the EPUB3 version of doing things rather than the hackery I've seen for Apple's reader).

  • Can't output Digital Audio in Windows 7 (Macbook Air 2011).

    Hi All,
    I'm using my MBA 2011 to play 3D Blurays Movies.
    The problem is...
    > Lion works fine (with HDMI audio) but i can't play 3D Blurays in LION, just 2D Blurays. [I can send...DTS/DOLBY etc etc to my RECEIVER with no problems using the "Moshi mini DP to HDMI adapter".]
    > In Windows i can play 3D Blurays (using Power DVD, Corel Win DvD; Arcsoft total media...etc) but i can't use the mini DP digital Audio function as in Lion...(So i think i need a better support driver here....from Intel, Apple or
    In the device manager i have an "Intel (R) graphics audio" """device""", but i don't have it listed as a device/extrernal-speaker in Windows interface, i currently have..."just the cirrus logic internal speakersdriver" and the "cirrus logic headphones analog output".
    So, anyone know how to output DIGITAL audio using Windows 7 bootcamp?
    Best Regards,
    Sebastian.

    Thanks for your comments. To answer your question theologos, the difference in battery life is huge. I only ran down the full batery in windows and it lasts for a little over 3 hours, depending on how you use it. Fully charged, OS X says I have a little over 7 hours to run although I've never tried to see if it actually gets that much. It seems to last a lot though. I almost never use OS X because I need to do run a lot of windows programs and a lot of statistics in Excel which is disabled by microsoft on office 2011 for mac. Heat levels in windows are acceptable. For general tasks CPU temperature stays below 70 degrees and the laptop is only mildly warm. Even playing starcraft 2 on full settings doesn't cause it to heat up to unomfortable levels.
    I realise that graphics switching is disabled in Windows and I hate Apple for it, I know they are doing it on purpose. This is not a question of which OS is better, they both have their merits. However, my guess is this is done via the bootcamp drivers for windows. Since the AMD Radeon 6750 M has graphics switching and is able to perform it with no probs on other non-mac windows laptops I was wondering whether I could remove all the apple graphics drivers and install the default AMD ones. I'm specifically referring to the catalyst driver ackage off the AMD website for this graphics card. If the hardware is there and there are drivers for windows why would it not work on a Mac? If I were to format the system and simply install Windows how would the macbook pro know to keep the integrated graphics disabled? My worry is that if I install the AMD drivers and remove some of the bootcamp ones this might screw up bootcamp if it doesn't recognize them. Anyone tried to do this with any success?

  • Error Code EF01, Video and Digital Audio Dropping out

    To whom it concerns,
    A customer of mine is having problems with his Fios DVR.  He will be watching TV through his Integra DTR 40.3 receiver, connected via HDMI cable and his picture and audio will just stop.  This is always accompanied by a code that displays on the front panel of the DVR which reads EF01.  The customer is usually able to restore picture and audio by performing a power cycle on both the AV receiver and the Fios Box. 
    There have been numerous occasions of this problem occurring.  Sometimes it happens quite frequently, (once every 10 min) other times much more infrequently.  Also the problems vary in their severety.  Sometimes just the digital audio will drop out but the pitcure will remain. Other times the picture and audio will go out and they will damage the HDMi input that the Fios box is connected to, rendering it unusable.  We have since repaired the Integra recevier twice.  This last repair we haven't had an incident for 3 months, now we are back to losine Audio and Video. 
    The customer initially had the Fios DVR replaced, but as the incidents kept happening, we tried repairing and replacing the AV receiver.  I keep coming back to that error code because I don't know what it means and nobody can explain to me if it has any significance or bearing on the problems we are having. 
    Does anybody know what the EF01 error code indicates on the Fios DVR?  Has anyone had problems similar to the one I am describing, regarding HDMI video/audio loss?
    Thanks,
    Kelly White

    Hey, Jared  here.
    The EF01 error code means that either the CableCard inside the box isn't getting any signal, or the CableCard isn't sending out any signal. A really efficiant way to see exactly what they problem is, is to take the box to a another location where Fios tv works fine. 
    There are two possible outcomes:
    Either the box doesn't work, and is still displaying the EF01 error code. Than the issue is with that box, and I must be replaced. 
    The other possibility is that the box works fine. The error code goes away, and the box works perfect. If this is the case, we know it is the coax wires coming from ONT (Optical Network Terminal). And a Service Technician is required to come out and address the issue. 

  • Digital audio output on T60p ?

    I have a T60p 2007-F16 with xp professional 5.01.
    I purchased a sony bravia digital tv and connected it to my t60p thru the docking station using a HDMI to DVI conversion cable. I get beautifil video output on the TV but I can't get any audio on my TV only on my t60p laptop speakers.
    I downloaded and installed the latest soundmax driver 5.10.1.5520 and installed it but still no audio output ?
    any ideas or suggestions are most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Welcome to the Lenovo forum.
    DVI doesn't carry audio, it's video only. To get audio from your ThinkPad to your TV, you will need another cable. You can use the green 3.5mm stereo headphone jack on your dock with an adapter cable to twin RCA jacks to get analog audio to your TV. I've done this and have been very pleased with the sound quality.
    If you want digital audio, you will need to use the coax digital audio jack on the dock's right side. How to get that signal into your TV is another matter. I haven't seen a TV with coax digital audio in, but maybe yours has it?
    Best regards,
    Frank

  • Digital Audio not working on Satellite A505 S6012

    My digital audio stopped working suddenly.  I use HDMI to send the video out of my laptop to my projector.  I had been successfully using, for over a year, a digital audio cable in the headphone (SP/DIF) jack to output the sound to my home receiver.  The default audio set in the control panel is Realtek Digital Audio.
    If I set the output to speakers and plug headphones in the jack, I get sound.  If I set the output to Realtek Digital Audio and plug the digital audio cable in, I get no sound.  I've tried new cables, changing the input to a different conection on my receiver, reinstalling the Realtek driver, and, as a last resort, completely recovering my laptop to the factory setting.  Digital Audio still does not work.
    Any suggestions?  This is the main way we watch movies in my home.

  • How to connect a APExpress to a digital audio console

    I have a Yamaha M7CL digital audio console that has an Ethernet connection. I want to control the desk wirelessly using the APExpress. I know how to do it with a Linksys or Netgear router. With those I need to plucg into one of the 4 LAN ports. Not the WAN. And it works great. Since the APEx has only one port (LAN or WAN?) How can I make it work. The console has Network settings that can be changed but I think my issue is that the port on the APE is looking for internet. I'm not interested in using this set up to surf the web I only trying to connect the 2 and wirelessly connect with my laptop. With all the different settings I have no idea where to begin. Can anyone give me a clue. Thanks.

    Hello steviee7. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    In order for the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port to perform as a "LAN" port so that the Yamaha can access the network/Internet, it would need to be reconfigured as one of the following:
    For both the 802.11b/g and 802.11n versions of the AX:
    o As as relay or remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    For the 802.11n version only:
    o As an extender of a wireless network created by another 802.11n AirPort or Time Capsule.
    o As a wireless Ethernet bridge (ProxySTA).

  • Digital Audio output for W series - Alternatives

    There's a thread talking about the displayport does not have audio-output.  Its true and some people get victimized by ill-trained sales people who think their displayport is standard.  There's no literature on Lenovo website warning users about the audio issue either - such thread is closed with the fact that (some) other manufacturers in the same period does have have audio either and Lenovo think they should be in the same boat.
    Let's not go into the blamish again, but discuss what we can do with existing options with alternative digital audio out and line-in that the W series really really missed.
    We have (1) mini-dock and (2) USB soundcard listed as options
    I currently use a USB DAC (digital to analog) system and it do really good in terms of stereo music enjoyment.  However my particular system does not have digital manupilated sound like 3-D surround or multi-channel output and not suprisely, laptop USB generally produce greater latency than desktop USB ports.
    Besides USB, we have 1394 and express card 34 as expansion options.
    What's your setup for digital audio out?  Anyone know any internal soundcard that fits the slots of Wireless USB/Turbo memory PCI ports that all W-series have?

    Other alternatives include
    I know on mackbooks I've seen firewire used as an input for a Weiss Dac if you're into two channel audio.  Do any reiceivers take firewire as an input for hometheater?  Has anyone tested Firewire outputs on their W series?  I'm told that firewire is sometimes preferable to USB, I'm not sure why this would be, can USB support passthrough of DTS encoded signals?
    In the case that firewire works and you Do not have a firewire source, maybe something like this would be of value  It converts firewire to digital coaxial s/pdif and allows passthrough of DTS and AC3.
    http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FireWire-Audiophile_Manual.pdf
    As I'm into audio the critical thing here (and what you're paying for when you purchase blue-ray, is maintaining the digital information from the disk in an unconverted form.  You want a direct bit pass through, and you want as little jitter introduced to the signal as possible.  You most certainly don't want the sound card getting in the way, Digtital to Analog converting and then reverse packaging it up and putting it out over the soundcard digital out.  My problem is I'm not familiar enough with computer audio to know how exactly the sounds is transmitted from your blue ray drive to the digital interface you've chosen.
    Anyone know why USB digital out would not be a prefered method?
