Paul,
I've been a bit behind in testing all the options, but hopefully this
will still be helpful to you.

Config:  T60, eCS 2.0 RC2, ACPI 3.09 w/its equivalent APM

This UniAud16 seems to be acceptable.  No real difference
between this an the next [test2] level.

This level also seems OK and, at least for the moment, this is what I
am using.

UniAud32 Tests:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After trying several of the 1.9.3 and subsequent levels, I am back to
the V1.9.2 level:
>4-01-08  6:56a       574,658     54 a---  uniaud32.sys

All of the others cause problems in one way or another; mostly a locked
up system.  In particular, these are the two that I tested with the
'test2' above:
>uniaud32-1.9.3-testfixes.zip
And, they were almost guaranteed to lock up with YouTube videos and
also with some WMV files.  In addition, all seemed to add a short
'blip' of sound after playing with the 'System Sounds' tool.  My
current configuration is:

I should also mention one other issue that started when I began testing
all of these combinations, and is still present [and aggravating!]:
    When I boot the system, eCenter is automatically
    started via the StartUp folder.  When it starts,
    and after filling out all of the icons for active
    tasks in tasks tray, there is a series of very fast
    beeps [sort of a warning beep] that lasts for only
    about a second at which point the entire eCenter
    crashes.
    *  There is nothing in the PopUpLog file.
    *  The desktop all of a sudden has scroll a bar on
       the right side and the icons on my desktop all move
       up about the distance of one 'row' of icons.
    *  Occasionally [totally unpredictable] the eCenter will
       restart itself.  Most of the time it does not and
       I have to manually restart it.  From this restart on,
       it appears to work OK.
    Backing up to what I thought was the level of the UniAud
    files prior to all of these tests [circa 01-Apr] has not
    restored correct operation of eCenter.  I have no clue
    about what is now different.

    I did move from ACPI 3.08 to 3.09 last night, but it does
    not seem to matter one way or the other.  As far as I can
    recall, I've made no other changes to the system [other
    than these UniAud tests] since this weird behavior started.

I have not attached any of the diagnostic files, because you've usually
requested those after running the 'System Sounds' and those all seem to
work OK [with the exception of the extra little 'blip' at the end which
others have reported.\].  After a lockup, there's no way to obtain
anything.

If there is something you'd like me to try, just ask.

Carl
