 What is the WaveDriver for Win98?
|
| What is the WaveDriver for Win98? |
First off, the term "WaveDriver" gets confusing in our situation because it really is used to mean 2 things. The "W98 Wavedriver" install that we include on the LE CD and that is available on our website includes more than just the wavedriver. In fact it includes all of the following:
1. DAL & DSI, which talk directly to our hardware.
2. DirectIO.dll, which provides a pleasant C++ interface to DAL and DSI. This interface is used by LE and by third parties to access our hardware.
3. The "WaveDriver" which adds a layer on top of DirectIO.dll that conforms to the Microsoft WaveDriver standard.
So you do not want to "de-install" the entire W98 WaveDriver because the Windows de-installer will remove all of the above stuff. Then of course nothing would work.
However it might be helpful to just remove #3 (The WaveDriver--see why this is confusing?). This would still allow LE and other DirectIO apps to run, but it would not allow generic wavedriver apps to run.
Unfortunately, just removing #3 is not as easy as it sounds. It requires you to rename the file "Digi16.dll" to something else (anything is fine). But you can't do this when Windows is running because it will tell you the file is in use, so you'll have to boot into DOS and rename it there. Fun.
Another option is to simply disable the WaveDriver in the multimedia control panel. This is less drastic than removing the wavedriver.
So maybe suggest that they try disabling it first, and if that doesn't work, try removing it completely and see what happens.
This info is probably not worth posting on the DUC unless we discover that in fact it is helping a lot of people. However on an individual level if you run out of things to try, it's worth trying.
Oh, and one other thing, the NT WaveDriver situation is COMPLETELY different...

|
| After installing an AudioMedia III (AMIII) the PC posts a warning dialog of a resource conflict: error 0251 system CMOS check sum bad. |
If you encounter this problem contact Tech Support. The AMIII card may be damaged.
In this case the system appears to have available resources. The WaveDriver posts the error upon installation: " The device driver was not written for this device do you want to continue?"
Then the device shows up in the device manager under sound video and game controllers as a Digidesign Audio Media III with a yellow exclamation point.
The WaveDriver does not recognize the card but the user is prompted to install the driver so it shows up under sound video and game controllers but really is an "unknown device" No matter what slot the AMIII
is in it causes the system at the BIOS level to report a bus error.
