At present it's only polling the first output pin which is listed as a Headphone Out in the BIOS pin configuration verbs. If you look at the log it shows that Node 1Ch is a Line Out pin complex and so the jack detection is not used. In your log Node 1Dh is the headphone out, this probably goes to the front panel audio header which may or may not be connected anywhere. If jack detection were working the log would show *WDMHDA: SwitchOutput -> SPEAKERS or *WDMHDA: SwitchOutput -> HEADPHONES. when the jack was disconnected/connected. For a desktop PC this seems to be the correct expected behavior but if there is more than one headphone out on a codec all of them should be polled, not just the first one. (There is a legacy assumption in the code that each codec can only have one headphone or speaker output.) Also need to add overrides to cover cases where the BIOS pin config verbs don't match the system's actual configuration.

Congratulations, your WDMHDA v21.a is working now on my N68-board with codec VT1705. Also Master Volume is working. I made two set's of log's, one without Jack inserted (Fallback Playback-path is okay) and one with Jack inserted. I can not find a meaningfull difference in the log's in this respect. Is this logged somewhere? WDMHDA.21a.N68_VT1705.WIN982.zip BTW I added a log from a tool Isolar is working on currently, so you can see the Jack is really inserted in PIN-widget 1Ch.

The tab issue has been solved, thanks @roytam1! The latest New Moon 28 is still slower than the 0516 release, but I found out that the problem is a lot smaller with less tabs. So I uploaded the latest builds to the mirror! :) Do you have a plan to update the other builds like f.e.

@reboot12 Now I disabled ME, but this does not help. Now, after opening the Hidden Entries in Bios V92 of the Evga Dark z390 board, I can change such a lot of entries for the 9560 Wlan card. But nothing helps, the symptoms are to 100% the same as before. So now I think, that for sure the scan is not ok. I think about to build a brandnew driver for the 9560 on gemini chipset with j4105 and Cannon Lake on the really nice Dark board. But in first place I make a try to keep everything from the Windows site, for example the scan, from the working m135 driver. Just change Firmware 77 ==> 46 and some more. But I doubt, that this will work. Only brandnew driver gives a real new chance Dietmar

Well that tells me that your HDA controller is like Vmware in that even with a longer timeout it will never set the bit to acknowledge CORB reset so always falls back to PIO. I have improved the PIO path to stop probing blindly if there were any codecs detected at reset, and have also added working jack detection polling in the latest version here (with some debugging help from LLMs unfortunately). I haven't tested this fully yet but it does work on at least 2 old laptops. WDMHDA-main-21a.zip

I have even tested my youtube.luac file in the last XP-compatible VLC beta 3.0.24 (the very last recent versions are no longer compatible with Windows XP 😟) and @nicolaasjan's yt-dlp version from 10.06.2026.

@reboot12 Hi, I get some news: I notice, that on my EVGA Dark z390 with 9900k cpu there is also a Wlan 9560, which uses the same(!) IF_IWM driver as the j4105 on the Dell Wyse 5070 board. But it has other device ID here on the Dark, Dev_A370. And the 9560 shows there exact the same symptoms as on the Gemini Chipset with j4105. But now comes a BIG difference. I can put out the Bios chip there (it is on socket) and flash it with EEpromer as much as I want. I just see, that it has ME and CSME enabled in Bios and with the normal Bios menu I cant change them. But soon comes Bio hack and soon we will know what is going on with this crazy driver. I use Windbg via Intel Lan there, because of no COM port. I think in our IF_IWM driver happens 1.) scan is not ok 2.) ME kills all traffic Dietmar

Keeps nagging onw11 pro 26h1 release, stays disabled and ask during every boot if I want to enable SAB

someone did something like that from what i know it use a proxy where the proxy then handles tls1.3 https://msfn.org/board/topic/183352-proxhttpsproxy-and-httpsproxy-in-windows-xp-for-future-use/ it is build from openssl i think but he rather tell you the story

Hello folks! Hope you're doing well. I was wondering how I could get (secure) TLS 1.2/1.3 working in an app that targets Windows XP, as most modern servers no longer accept HTTP requests. From what I could find online, I'd need OpenSSL 1.1.1 and libcURL 7.73.0 (although I'm not 100% sure), which have support for TLS 1.2/1.3 and modern networking while also staying compatible with Windows XP. My only issue with the two is that despite me having searched for multiple downloads from multiple different repositories, I've only been able to find the executables and source code for them. Perhaps it's a mistake and stupidity on my behalf, but is it possible to directly get the SDK files directly? (Such as the "/include" and "/lib" directories) And if so, would I be obliged to use outdated and non-updated versions of OpenSSL and libcURL, or are there any modern-ish and stable backports? For reference, I'm compiling the app using Code::Blocks 17.12 alongside its bundled MinGW compiler (GCC 5.1.0), targeting 32-bit (x86) Windows XP. Any help would be appreciated. Have a nice day.

Today, I have tested my youtube.lua script again. And it is working in VLC v3.0.23 without any problems. No errors, no loops and no need to click the Play button more times. On older hardware, the video format avc1 is no option. That's why my script uses h264. Here is my last code again with the bracket correction mentioned by @Ben Markson: -- YouTube Link Resolver for VLC with Separate Video and Audio URLs -- Place this script in VLC's lua/playlist directory local yt_dlp_path = 'yt-dlp.exe' local yt_dlp_silent_path = 'hidecon.exe' function sleep(s) local ntime = os.time() + s repeat until os.time() > ntime end function probe() -- Check if the input is a YouTube link return (vlc.access == "http" or vlc.access == "https") and (string.match(vlc.path, "youtube%.com") or string.match(vlc.path, "youtu%.be")) end function parse() -- Construct the full YouTube URL local youtube_url = vlc.access .. "://" .. vlc.path -- Extract "quality" query parameter if present local quality = youtube_url:match("[&?]quality=(%d+)[pP]?") youtube_url = youtube_url:gsub("[&?]quality=%d+[pP]?", ""):gsub("[&?]$", "") -- Remove trailing ? or & -- Get the preferred resolution preset by the user in VLC local prefres = vlc.var.inherit(nil, "preferred-resolution") if prefres < 0 then prefres = 2160 -- Best quality set to 2160p to overwrite VLC's native value of -1 end local allowed_qualities = { ["240"] = true, ["360"] = true, ["480"] = true, ["720"] = true, ["1080"] = true, ["2160"] = true } -- Default quality limited to the preferred resolution taken from VLC's settings local format_string = string.format("bestvideo[height<=%i]+bestaudio", prefres) if quality and allowed_qualities[quality] then format_string = string.format("bestvideo[height<=%i]+bestaudio", quality) vlc.msg.info("Using requested quality: " .. quality ..

Defaulting to best available.") end local cmd_hidden = 'hidecon &' -- Start cmd hidden and ... -- No better codec than h264 (an important switch for older hardware). This can of course be changed by the users according to their needs. local codec_limit = '-S "codec:h264"' local video_url = '' local audio_url = '' local yt_dlp_silent_exists = io.open(yt_dlp_silent_path, "r") ~= nil if not yt_dlp_silent_exists then vlc.msg.info(yt_dlp_silent_path ..

" (Video)", options = { ":input-slave=" .. audio_url } } } else return { { path = video_url, name = vlc.path .. " (Video + Audio)" } } end end And today I reduced and optimised my code again and compiled it to a LUAC file. Here is my most recent version for old, weak computers (using h264): https://www.mediafire.com/file/olbadgp55gzn6aj/youtube.luac/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

Tested on Windows 98 SE (DirectX 9.0c), no difference in performance, everything as reported earlier. To me the two logs produced seems to be almost equal as with version WDMHDA.020. WDMHDA.20a.N68_VT1705.zip

That should be MORE than enough FOR NOW, and only to GET YOU STARTED. There's MORE if you really truly want an OPTIMIZED bloat-free Win10.

And if you dislike things like "Indexer" (of which I am in that crowd), then you should also dislike and disable C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache.

Probably too large of a script to post here, but I also remove "Get Started", "Windows Backup", and EVERYTHING pertaining to EDGE. Technically, I use Edge (as a third when-needed browser) but ONLY AS A PORTABLE, I DO NOT WANT IT "ENTANGLED" WITH THE OS, AND DO NOT WANT THE BACKGROUND UPDATE CRAP.

I also remove "Security Health App".

These I disable AFTER install (via a PowerShell script). # Computer Management >> System Tools >> Task Scheduler >> Task Schedule Libray >> Microsoft >> Windows # # Disable: # Application Experience # Autochk # Chkdsk # Diagnosis # DiskCleanup # DiskFootprint # Feedback > Siuf # LanguageComponentsInstaller # MemoryDiagnostic # Power Efficiency Diagnostics # Servicing # Speech # WindowsUpdate

These are also COMPLETELY REMOVED from my installation .iso. ie, the Selected="true" entries.

The only "non-waste" of time way for me to compile my list is to provide it IN THE WAY THAT I USE IT. Which in my case is from my WINREDUCER EX-100 config file. All of the Value="5" entries below are my REMOVED services, they're not ever even installed, removed completely from my installation .iso. The Value="4" entries below are my DISABLED services, I allow them to be installed, but they are DISABLED by default. The Value="3" entries below are my MANUAL services. If there is any Value="2" entries, they are AUTOMATIC services. Any Value="1" entries, they are AUTOMATIC (DELAYED) services. Entries with empty value fields just allow the Windows installation process to set them at normal Windows "default". BUT... there are a ton of "services" that have to be "installed" (ie, Windows Indexing/Firewall/Defender are examples), BUT I DISABLE/REMOVE THEM LATER, I just can't disable/remove beforehand. You asked for a list, this is the easiest way to provide one.

I'll compile "my list". But, a word of warning, if you "have faith" in CRAP like "smartscreen" or Windows Defender, than frankly me compiling a list is a "waste of my time" as you (3rd person plural, not referencing "you" as any ONE person) already has your (3rd person plural) view of how that Win10 should be configured. Which is perfectly fine, of course, it is "your" computer.

I've had nothing but HUGE success in that regard! Whether you think of my Win10 experience as upgrading from XP, my Win10 is WAY better, faster, and smoother than XP (even on a 10+ year old laptop with only 4 GB RAM !!!). And a "million times" more CAPABLE. No need to run SLOW-AS-HELL web browsers that just INCREASINGLY "can't do sh#t" !!! !!! !!! Hey, "to each their own". I don't have a mobile phone or tablet to "fall back on", I *MUST* have *everything* work on my computer. So yeah, Win10 really is a "bare minimum" these days. Not to be misread, there are some VERY "capable" Firefox Forks. If that's your thing. "To each their own." Or whether you think of my Win10 experience as upgrading from a previous Win10 version, my Win10 LTSC is WAY better, faster, and smoother than those previous versions of Win10. And I'm not talking "placebo effect", I simply do not fall for prey to PE, I believe in Quantifiable Measurements and never "gut feel".

1). Will share tomorrow. 2-3). No, it's just a general lag; doesn't matter what I'm doing or how I'm doing it, the lag just randomly pops up when it feels like it -- which is far too often for my sanity. 4). Not 100% sure what you mean by "non-Windows," but the lag isn't selective; it'll happen when just trying to open up the C drive and view files, for example. As I said, this is all new, post-LTSC IoT upgrade. Machine was running perfectly smooth before. I figured LTSC IoT would actually improve performance, not bottleneck the hell out of it.

Upgraded from 10586. 3TB space free. SSD manually trimmed, no difference. Search Indexer and Sysmain were already disabled. Any of y'all have an up-to-date list for LTSC IoT of "useless" services that may be disabled?

Guess I'm back for now, it took a while for my new account to be approved. I rewrote the controller initialization so now it shouldn't fall back into PIO mode and then stop actually sending any messages on NForce controllers. The CORB and RIRB communication also doesn't hold a spinlock the entire time it's waiting for a response. Attached is a version that deomsh can try and see if it works better on his NForce chipset with VIA codec. Tried to pull the jack detection PR I got but the combination of the DPC for jack polling and using a fast mutex to protect the CORB/RIRB communication function causes deadlocks on XP. It works OK on 98 though. Seems that I need to replace the DPC with polling from a kernel thread at passive IRQL, or do things properly and drive all the CORB/RIRB communication with interrupts instead of polling. wdmhda-20-change-init.zip

I test this driver on my Dell Wyse 5070 on WinXP 64-bit and no ping, no send, no receive data Only see Wifi networks:
