    1919Uniaud also supports some legacy audio hardware.
    20 
    21 How to report bugs
    22 ==================
    23 
    24 The best option is to use the corresponding debug package for this version
    25 of Uniaud and UniInfo.zip, both of which are available from the Netlabs ftp
    26 site:
    27 ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud .
    28 
    29 All bug reports should go to Uniaud Trac which may be found on:
    30 http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud/report . If you do not have your own login
    31 credentials, you can request one at:
    32 http://www.netlabs.org/en/site/member/member.xml .
    33 
    34 Describe your bug briefly, but be as specific as possible. If your system has
    35 some exotic hardware which may or may not be involved, mention this in your
    36 report. Describe whatever steps you deem necessary to recreate the condition,
    37 whether the condition occurs sometimes, always, or very rarely. Mention any
    38 troubleshooting steps you have attempted prior to raising the ticket.
    39 
    40 Finally, per the above recommendation, attach the unilog.zip archive to the
    41 ticket.
    42 
    43 What todo with a TRAP screen:
    44 =============================
    45 
    46 N.B.: You should only do this if you have a floppy drive in your system or a
    47 memory dump partition. Support and directions for setting up the latter are
    48 beyond the scope of this document, but detailed instructions may be found at
    49 the following url:
    50 http://home.earthlink.net/~steve53/os2diags/TrapDumpRef.txt
    51 
    52       1. Press Ctrl-Alt-F10 twice (note never do this on a running system!!).
    53          You will be asked to insert a diskette (please note the complete
    54          diskette will be wiped!!). You _only_ need to fill up one diskette to
    55          get the trap screen.
    56       2. Insert the diskette.
    57       3. When prompted to insert the next diskette, reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del,
    58          and either allow the system to boot normally, or follow one of the
    59          recovery procedures outlined above to temporarily disable Uniaud.
    60       4. Upon a successful boot, you may download and run this script:
    61          http://home.earthlink.net/~steve53/os2diags/DumpTrapScreen.zip to
    62          extract the trap screen from the diskette.
    63 
    64 Trap screen data is extremely helpful when raising a support ticket.
    65 
    66 F.A.Q.
    67 =====
    68 Q. What is OS/2?
    69 A. If you ask this one, you probably don't need UniAud. Go to
    70  www.eComStation.com to get more information or to purchase a license.
    71 
    72 Q. What is Uniaud?
    73 A. Uniaud is the Universal Audio Support driver for OS/2 and eComStation,
    74    based on the Linux ALSA project (http://www.alsa.com ).
    75 
    76 Q. Uniaud detected my card successfully but I have no sound
    77 A. Try to install uniaud with amount of installed cards = 0 (see section below)
    78    reboot and then install uniaud with amount of cards = 1
    79 
    80 Q. Uniaud detected my card successfully but when I try to play something I got
    81    error: MCI Error 5134: No device driver found.
    82 A. With eComstation 1.2 and 1.2R there, start minstall.exe and choose
    83    the last option in the main menu to reset your mmecs settings.
    84    Then reinstall Uniaud.
    85    
    86    With eComStation 1.1/1.0 or MCP 1/2 or Warp 4, choose to uninstall Uniaud
    87    (read description below in this file). Reboot your system and reinstall
    88    Uniaud.
    89 
    90 Q. I installed MIDI support, but when I click on a Midi file I hear no music.
    91    What is happening ?
    92 
    93 A. Most audio cards don't support MIDI. So if there is no MIDI playback
    94    its most likely not support by Uniaud in conjunction with your chipset.

    133 DEVICE=x:\MMOS2\UNIAUD32.SYS
    134 DEVICE=x:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS
    135 
    136 To uninstall Uniaud, run install.cmd again. When prompted by the multimendia
    137 installer, select the option to remove an installed feature.
