Well, it appears that the problem was my router coupled with a few problems that Al Heath found in my setup.On a T23 I would use the native (read: specialized) audio driver available here:
Here's a little more information that I posted on Genmac and will submit as a ticket for RC7:
I recently purchased a T23 which came with a built-in wireless Prism card. After installing RC7 on it and discovered that the UNIAUD driver would not load and the multimedia sound was inoperative. Initially, I thought the problem was bad hardware.
I had a number of problems with wireless that appear now to have been caused by my router, not my software. In sorting that out, I changed from the Prism to an Intel 2200 b/g. The Intel card is now working flawlessly thanks to a visit from Al Heath! However, the sound system continued to be inoperative.Odd that UNIAUD appears to have trouble with this, but perhaps an earlier 1.1.4 build might work as well as the one from IBM (current UNIAUD thrust is on getting HDA working for new hardware and not backward compatibility, though nothing is really intentionally broken for the older stuff, AFAICR).
For a reason I cannot remember now, I reverted to an earlier CONFIG.SYS that I had used with the Prism card. Genmac could not find the card, but the sound system worked! So, it was not a hardware problem after all.Interesting. Sounds like an IRQ mapping issue, possibly, or HELPERW.EXE not getting loaded early enough.
Finally, tonight I sorted the CONFIG.SYS that worked with the Intel card using Doug Bissett's Logical Config.Sys Sort. Now I have music with my wireless.Thanks go to Doug. :-) Still, I might lean toward the IBM driver for the audio, but now, at least, if it ain't broke... ;-)
Several of my problems over the years have come from improperly sequenced CONFIG.SYS statements set up during the OS installation procedure.Yes, and historically, this is why we (as a gross generalization) have shied away from CONFIG.SYS sorters. That said, I like Doug's method, and have had good results with it (I need to send him a couple updates, which I've promised to do and have delayed).
Thank you Doug for your sorter.Here, here!
