Hey Managers:
I come bearing patches! SoundBlaster emulation for Wabi 2.1 is now running
on my SPARC 5. My query can be summarized like this:
machine: SPARCstation 5
OS: Solaris 2.4
application: Wabi 2.1
problem: It's supposed to emulate SoundBlaster for Windows
applications that use sound.
I don't hear anything!
Solution: Patch #102125-02 (or greater I suppose).
SunOS 5.4: Audio device driver jumbo patch
By the way... I did have to reboot before it actually worked!
Credits, replies, and rereplies listed at below as well as the SunSolve
patch description.
Many, many, many thanks,
-drp

SunSolve's description...
Problem Description:
1182380 sample count incorrectly set on cs4231
1187814 when accessing to the audio driver, the ss5 panic
1164836 vat does not work on sparcstation 5
1186277 Using soundtool on SS5 running 2.3. After 1.02 seconds a click is heard.
1187962 No audio output when running DOOM on SPARCStation 4 or SPARCstation 5..
1183393 Can't Resume after Gaintool Pause on AudioTool file open
(from 102125-01)
1153505 Looping record+play test hangs when played with Sundiag on 2.3 85mHZ system
1173755 A close to the audio device hangs on aurora
1176131 SS5 audio sample counts are inaccurate
These changes apply to the audio device driver where under system load
conditions, the latency between the generic audio module and the
CS4231 audio device driver can result in a hang condition. In addition,
a change was made to calculate the sample count correctly at the end of
either play or record.

Prepare to be surprise (although not necessarily amazed) Kevin. It's more than I expected from Wabi but they wrote the code and it works! Well, with the patch anyway. ;-)

You were the only one close to right. I say "close" because you misnamed the patch #. Not "10215-02" but "102125-02". Close enough. It put me on the right track of what to look for under SunSolve and it worked! Thanks!

Well Mike, time to dig out that old Wabi 2.1 CD and try again. If I can offer any help send me an email. Sounds like YOUR problems may have been with the floppy drive. If so I can probably help. I've been there and back a few times. ;-)

That thought occured to me as well until I actually saw (heard) it work on a SPARC 5 on which I had previously loaded a ton of patches, including, apparently, 102125-02, while trying to get the floppy drive to work.
