AFAIK it is included with all OS4.x CD versions that are NOT for classic hardware.

Drivers are not included with classic OS4.x version because real classic PCI hardware does not support PCI DMA. (G-REX does but I heard it has other problems in real world, at least with OS4.x)

Does 3.4.1b1 also crash? If it does, attach new dump file.

Ok with 3.4.1b1 there are no longer crashi in AHI Prefs and when you play mp3.

However, it remains the great distortion when listening to music (in AHI Prefs the test sound is heard crystal clear) i tested the drivers FM801 di OS4.1Sam440ep, OS 4.1 Update 2, OS4.0 Final, OS4.0 MacMini, OS4.0 AmigaOne" which it is always the same file.

Does the OS4 boot sound play correctly?

AMIGASYSTEM · 11 February 2017, 22:19

No (disabled by me)

EDIT:

It now Enabled startup sound is very distorted

GREX support in OS 4.1 FE Classic is beta/experimental. We never had documentation on it. We got netBSD reverse engineered documentation and *some* minimal help from x-phase 5 people. We tried lots of cards (Radeon, sound cards, etc...) but ONLY Voodoo 3 and RTL8029 (network card) are officially supported (and worked).

Obviously Toni has done some magic to get other cards to work (which is great) but anyway drivers are not on the Classic CD because they would not work on the classic hardware. Get drivers from the AmigaONE version of the CD.

There is no magic. It is just plain PCI emulation = problems in real world mean there is either hardware bug or hardware has been configured wrong (due to lack of specs).

This common "our hardware is so holy and magical that you are not allowed to program it. You must use Our One and Only driver made only for our Chosen OS." -attitude is so annoying!

btw, FM801 sound problem in 16-bit is now fixed. (Not really sure what happened here..)
