* FIXEPIC.EXE

EPIC DOS games patch program

We found that there are some EPIC DOS games can not detect PCI
audio. This is due to these games using instruction loop as time
counter not a real constant period. In high speed CPU PC, the loop
time become shorter. That is reason that games can not detect PCI
audio. If you meet this problem, please run patch program to fix.
All of fixed files will backup to *.old.

CMI8738 PCI Audio Windows 95/98 Drivers Release Note **

Rev 4.06.1095b 4/12/2001
1. DRV: ac3 stream fail if disable SPDIF
2. VxD: don't touch AdcDacLen register bits

Rev 4.06.1095a 3/21/2001
1. Drv: 2 problems fixed
1). ADC2SPDIF is removed from drv
2). the SPDIF IN sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (18H, bit 24) is bad,
must reference SPDIF OUT sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (2 incorrect
places found in drv).
2. Vxd: ADC2SPDIF is added to vxd
3. Vxd: 3 problems fixed:
1). the category codes added in Construct_SPDIF_Frame are missed sometimes.
2). in 055 chip, when enable SPDIF OUT, we can't monitor SPDIF OUT, because
ADC2SPDIF is enabled incorrectly.
3). the SPDIF IN sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (18H, bit 24) is bad,
must reference SPDIF OUT sampling rate 44k/48k select bit (7 incorrect
places found in vxd).

0621 (Sensaura Library 2135)
STEP1.SYS : 1. The full function chip, can be used as FuncLimited chip.
2. When chip is FuncLimited, delete AC3-pin in WaveCyclicSB16.
3. When use 44k rendering for SPDIFOUT, we must receive a 2 channels
format from system, because the Sensaura library can't support
channel mixing st this time. (if we un-check Reverb, and use MCI
to play sound, the sound will be missing).

0620 (Sensaura Library 2135)
STEP1.SYS : 1. After Sensaura rendering, multiply a coefficient 1.2 to increase
the signal level for HCT test of Sensaura WDM driver.
2. only Sensaura INF exists (HCTINF is cancelled).

STEP2.SYS : 1. In INF file, use "CutMSSpeakerConfig" to disconnect the speaker
config from Microsoft control panel.

STEP3.SYS : 1. When judging FuncLimited, chip 055 is inversed.
2. When chip is FuncLimited, ValidateFormat will fail the format,
KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_DOLBY_AC3_SPDIF.
