1. Every notebook that uses the SigmaTel 9228 can use these drivers. I know that these are M1330 and M1530.
2. In the other thread there are instructions to get the driver running under Vista, I think it was something like setting every application in the driver folders to compability mode for WinXP SP2. For more details, look at the other thread!
3. The inis for the different chips don't differ that much, so hacking drivers for the other SigmaTel chips shouldn't be that hard. Just ask me for help or further details!

5.1 sound is available in the options, as well as bass routing, but because the lack of a 5.1-system I could not test it...
I have a Dell XPS m1530 OS Vista with sigmatel HD audio What other thread are you referring to, to make your hack work with Vista? Please post that link. I need stereo mix for my job desperately
Thanks,
Victoria

I tried, but the ASIO driver is not working I can't use it.

it's seems some .dll files need be regirtsered to system.

Anybody can fix this?

this sounds really interesting, though a vista-compatible version would be much appreciated

I have a XPS 1530 with Vista. Is it possible to have 2 different songs playing on the 2 outputs provided on the dell laptop(perhaps using an additional software or plugin)? I believe the onboard soundcard is a sigmatel one.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Also has anyone tried the asio4all driver on their m1530 they work quite well..

You could do this with a music production software, like Cubase.
All you have to do is create 2 stereo channels and assign them to the 2 outputs of the laptop.
Then import the 2 mp3 files you want to play on each channel.

Do these allow you to enable both HDMI and normal audio out?

I have been looking for that since I use HDMI with my home theater setup for big screen viewing and super audio, but also need to game on the road.

FYI, it is a pain loading a game only to find you didn't reset the audio to the correct output.

Hi,

I have a m1330 with xp and sp3 installed. I followed your methods step by step and have tried it a number of times but still only have the three tabs in the sigmatal app. speakertest,jacksetup and advanced.

Anyone got any ideas or having a similar problem.

thanks.

I guess you may modified the wrong file, so no effect.....

Hi,

Yes Rorojiao and TheMike were correct, my 1330 used the 92xxM8-3.INI with a slightly different ID.
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7616&SUBSYS_10280209=this

Thanks all again for this !

Likely your M1330, like mine, does not use the same file as the one posted. Mine uses the 92xxM8-3.INI; you can find out which one yours uses by opening the Properties for the SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC device in the Device Manager and choosing the Details tab, with Device ID selected. The number following "SUBSYS" is, I believe, unique to each individual 92XX file; run a search on the WDM folder for files containing that number to locate the INI that your computer actually looks at. Comparing this to the changes between the stock and unlocked 92XXM8-8 files provided here, it looks pretty much like the controls are unlocked by adding a few lines to the bottom of the file; copying the lines from the bottom of the M8-8 and pasting them into my M8-3 successfully unlocked the controls, although whether or not they all function is yet to be determined.

Note: This is not necessarily recommended; recklessly modifying drivers can render a system unusable. Reference only, eh?
This worked for me more or less. I am using an XPS M1530 with Windows XP SP3. I haven't tested all the features (mostly because I'm not sure what 80% of them do, lol).

For anyone interested, I already had the unhacked driver installed. From there, I opened up "Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware (Tab) > Device Manager (Button) > (Expand) Sound, video and game controllers > (Right Click) SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC > Properties > Details (Tab)" as told by TheMike and looked up the number after SUBSYS. It happened to be 1028022E. After downloading the appropriate driver, I opened up the "Sthda.ini" inside the Audio Driver's WDM folder. There I found that "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7616&SUBSYS_1028022E=92XXM8-3.INI". In other words, 1028022E equals 92XXM8-3.INI. After opening up 92XXM8-3.INI, I compared the hacked file with it. There's several extra lines at the end of the hacked file. I just pasted those at the end of 92XXM8-3.INI and saved. Then I went to Add / Remove Programs and uninstalled my current SigmaTel Audio Driver installation and installed the hacked driver.

To reiterate, this hack does, at least, install correctly with XPS M1530 using Windows XP SP3. Thanks for sharing Spatz.

What do you mean by no HDMI support? No sound? normally HDMI does not carry sound on notebook.

cheers ...

Where do I find the configuration tool? I have installed it successfully but for the life of me can't find where to edit these new options.

Plugging an USB 5.1 digital sound card then connect your 5.1 system into it? Can't pull a 5 channels audio from a 2channels audio output without some sort of splitters

cheers ...
