    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.

    134 DEVICE=x:\MMOS2\UNIAUD16.SYS 
    135  
    136 To uninstall Uniaud, run install.cmd again. When prompted by the multimendia

     153
