Amithlon... HELP!

[bhoggett]

Just to basically clear one thing up: you don't need to do a full format on anything anyway, so it's no great problem that you can't.

Use Quick Format at all times with Amithlon.

As for the others, I can't really comment. I don't use modems any more, and copying large files have not caused any problems at all.

I'm glad you did that, 'coz there's no way I'm going to try and pick through all of that in a forum post.

PlayCD plays/ejects CDDA Disc, but only can be heard thru headphones!

That's because the CD audio passthrough cannel is usually off by default when you switch your machine on. You will need to activate the mixer to get round this.

Amplifier loads MP3, but locks up and cannot be "killed" -reboot

Erm, dunno. First of all, do you have AHI properly configured? If so, try the version of Amiplifier from the amithlon_hd: partition (if there's one there - I can't remember offhand). There are a few versions of Amplifier around, and some behave very strangely. Unfortunately H&P didn't really test everything they included in the AOSXL CD to make sure it worked with both systems.

No luck with puhDerBaer either (don't really need it, no games)

What do you mean: "no luck"?

AC97Mixer: After installing this, I get recoverable alerts when opening tools, so its not active..do I really need it?

Yes, if you want to listen to any CDs through the soundcard. The recoverable alerts are not a good sign. You need to track down what is happening, as it may be related to your other problems.

You are having a Creative's SB128. AC97 mixer is only for AC97 on-board sound card. That is why you are having a recoverable alert. That is just a guess, but I'm pretty much sure about that.

Be careful about making assumptions.  :-)

In this case you would br wrong about AC97 mixer. Despite the name, it works with SB128 cards just fine - and in fact it also works with SBLive on the Umilator beta.

I'm afraid that's not the problem

[bhoggett]

I don't think there's an alternative to the AC97 Mixer, so you definitely want to get that working.

I think the author is Frank Fenn. Not sure if he checks the ML (none of your queries have appeared there btw), but if you have specific questions it's probably best to mail him directly.

However, even though the Mixer fails, it may not be the actual culprit. More digging is needed to determine the exact root of your problem, and the ML is the best place for that.

Troll.

Please go to amigaworld.net where you belong.

This was a thread about a technical issue, not about your politically motivated xenophobic prejudice.

You seem to be suffering from a serious case of foot-in-mouth syndrome. All the way past the ankle, I'd say.

Your case isn't going to be boosted by calling Bernie an "arrogant moron", and your claims about its performance are not going to have more credibility than those of the author himself.

You have made a number of incorrect statements in this thread, so my suggestion is that you try to read and learn so as to improve your knowledge rather than lash out at anyone correcting you.

Regarding P96 v3:

Yes, Amithlon was supposed to come with v3 of P96, but since that was never developed in time for the release date it was not included. Had it become available in the meantime, theoretically it would have meant a free upgrade for Amithlon users as they have already paid the license fee. However since v3 is not available anywhere...

A certain company responsible for publishing Amithlon didn't bother amending their packaging to reflect this (which is understandable) and then chose to make no mention of the change on their web site either (which is less forgivable).
