Driver injection for Dell Audio - 4/25/2008 12:42:32 PM

Hi all,

I finally got my driver injection working and it's pretty. :) On our Dell systems (D630, Opt 745/755 etc), all the hardware loads nice, except for one 'unknown' resource, which is linked to the Audio hardware. Essentially, the drivers you can download from Dell are installed via an EXE. Once you run the EXE, it loads the drivers, and it appears that it uncovers a unique BUS for the audio systems, and then drivers are loaded for all the audio units.

I can use LTI or ZTI to push that exe down to the hardware, but I can't seem to figure out the flags to have it auto install without having human interaction (press the Next button).

My question: Does anyone have those drivers exported in a way that I can use driver injection to load them? Or does anyone have the command line so I can install them without human assistance?

Thanks!

You're probably running into issues with the Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111). Unfortunately this is distributed as a patch to XP and not an actual driver. If you extract the files from the executable (/t /c:"destination" I think), there will be a series of folders for different languages, the one for us english is us. You can then integrate this patch into your XP source files using the /integrate switch. Or, if you want to push it out after the fact use /quiet /norestart. The key is to extract the files inside the executable that you download.

That could be it. The D630 one I was using was the installer for the SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio

I'll try the hotfix and see if it makes a difference.

I have this patch installed in my image, but still it dont inject the driver. I also tried with the patch KB835221+888111 in the image, still same.
This is a Dell D630 and M6300.

In the C:\drivers\media folder it have ADIHdAu folder only.
If I manually copy the sigmatel folder to the hardrive and manually updates the driver from specifised path the driver is installed.

Why dosnt sigmatel driver gets injected???

Did you inject the patch (888111) into your source files?

No, I dont inject the patch, I've installed 888111, before I took capture image.

When sysprep is running and I use appwiz.cpl(add/remove programs) I can see 888111 is installed.

In devmgmt.mmc it doesnt show unknown device, but "audio device High definition audio-bus"

If I copy STHD 5.10.0.5515 manually to hard drive and update driver then everything gets ok.
Ive watched the PnP ID for the driver and for the device, and they are same.(VEN_8384&DEV_76A0&SUBSYS_1028012)

Hmmm. I've done all those models without any issue. The only thing that jumps out at me as being different is actually integrating the patch into the OS osurce files instead of installing it after installation. I'm not sure how this would make a difference though. Another patch that I always integrate in is 883667. This one is about detecting child devices and although the kb only talks about video cards and monitors, it might apply to audio drivers also. Worth a try.
