Realtek ALC887 @ Intel Comet Point-V PCH (Intel Core gen 10 Desktop Motherboard), of course.

WDMHDA Alpha-016 is a miracle! Got audio successfully working on following platforms: 1. Lenovo ThinkPad X230 (Realtek ALC269) - both built-in speakers and headphone jack 2. Lenovo ThinkPad X260 (Realtek ALC293) - both built-in speakers and headphone jack 3. ASRock Z77 Pro3 (Realtek ALC892) - only rear audio port 4. ASUS P5Q PRO (Realtek ALC1200) - only rear audio port 5. MSI PRO H610M-B DDR4 (Realtek ALC892/ALC897) - both read and front audio ports I've described more details here: https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/discussions/30 From the brief testing, I've only noticed the Mute All and volume slider bug described here: https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/issues/39

I'm not rich in the sense you mean, I clearly have no agenda, nevertheless, I personally observe the global warming affecting my country. Rather recently, the same observation was made by @D.Draker, and what about the winters in your region? How do they feel like, with all these years passing by? You don't have to tell us the exact location. We already understand you're a native English speaker, in contrast to some others. Thank you.

The latest update to yt-dlp works out of the box again with an "ios downgraded" method. And there no sleep. They recommend it now, but there isn't. I didn't know you could use those conditionals [height<=1080][ext=mp4] which would help with changing format numbers. Can you point me to instructions about how to use a "JS runtime" with yt-dlp on Win Seven? Is this an exe I drop or is there more to it?

Never mind, ignore those non-English! They have terrible difficulties understanding. You don't have to apologise for your legit, on topic questions! Of course, the earth isn't doing anything, it's constantly trying to get rid of the filth by creating storms, hurricanes, using the polar air recently, but is it enough? Will it get back to the Stone Age?

Thank you,I tried to edit them by myself,but lots of them original files could hardly be found online especially in China including Generic_USB3_6.1.7800.0 Generic_USBParent_6.2.9200.22279 Generic_UASP_1.0.0.51

As attested already by @j7n, ALL ANDR-S formats are now being 403'd ; in latest yt-dlp releases (stable, nightly, master update channels), the ANDR-S client has been removed: The ios client m3u8 (aka HLS) formats are NOT behind an n/sig challenge, so a JS runtime shouldn't be needed for them, unless you also want the WEB-S client's m3u8 formats ... Thanks ; that rules out, then, directly asking them for a NT 6.0 compatible version ? (though I later realised that a "certain" member is there, too ...) I'll probably will, but likely over the coming weekend ... Thanks for your precious time supporting "legacy" Windows OSes - you're a true hero ...

Major bummer! I've never actually used yt-dlp, but there is certainly a VERY large following. I guess that shows the popularity of yt-dlp, the ONLY reason Google would "unleash" would be if TENS OF THOUSANDS of videos are being downloaded using this method. Google really wouldn't "care" if we were talking a few here, a few there. Or they're looking at it from how many PER DAY are "abusing the system", so to speak.

More bad news (wrt YT and yt-dlp) : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/11868#issuecomment-2560431566 Oh, BTW, the `--live-from-start` feature on LIVE YT streams is now BROKEN, too : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/15751 (if you ask me, it's all-out-war Google have unleashed against the YT-downloading apps, but it appears they have their focus especially on yt-dlp ) .

sorry for using that phrasing i wasnt sure how to phrase it just was curious is all

I am assuming that question was directed to @Monroe. I for one am not and have not claimed that the "earth isn't doing anything" (I'm not exactly sure what that even means, specifically.) My perspective is one of "conservation". Sure, my old vehicle only gets 28 miles to the gallon. BUT you have to factor in the Whole Picture. I only have to fill the tank SEVEN times in an ENTIRE YEAR. My neighbor owns a Prius. Another neighbor is dating a guy that owns a Tesla. BOTH of them drive OVER AN HOUR one way to and from work. The Prius is a hybrid and she has to fill the gas tank AT LEAST once a week. I don't know anything about the Tesla guy. But I use that Prius as the PERFECT example. You tell me, is my SEVEN fillups per YEAR "bad" for the environment compared to his FIFTY TWO AT LEAST ???

wow! wow! wow! it is really WORK WITHOUT PROBLEMS on my machine! THANKS YOU! Oh, mein Gott...

May i ask nicely what peer-reviewed sources do you have that prove the earth isn't doing anything?

Which system are you still having the looping problem on? Is it the Nvidia MCP78 or the Sunrise Point PCH or something else? The DXDiag test failure seems to be due to restricting the available sound data formats to 22050 hz or greater (and only happens on my VM with DirectX 6.1, it does not happen with DirectX 9 either way). I will undo this change in the next release and fix the issue of 8-11khz WAV sounds crackling properly, by creating smaller buffers.

Funny, instead saying thanks for sharing, another request? And yes I have them all, spend a lot of time with them.

Agreed. But the problem is that "indoctrinating" people is VERY EASY and once indoctrinated, there is no such thing as "open debate". When folks have to resort to cuss words, name calling, and throwing bricks through windows to "be heard", you know there will never ever be a real "conversation" ever again.

Are We Still in the Last Ice Age ??? Climate change just a hoax for some to get very rich. I don't buy into global warming on a large scale ... the Earth gets cold then hot and cold again. Over a span of a person's lifetime ... 60 to 80 years, which is nothing, it could be hot, it could be cold or in the middle. A lot of 'hucksters' got very rich or getting rich pushing this junk. They will die off (not soon enough!) and new ones will pop up talking all this nonsense again for another generation. Most of the dumbbells have never worked a day in their life and live off the population dumb enough to listen to them. It's all being part of the Earth and when certain events happen. Unfortunately we don't live long enough to experience everything ... it may be hot for most of our life or maybe cooler. A volcano or several may erupt and change the climate for a time, as happened in 1816. It's the luck of the draw when we are born to spend a few years on Earth. Some scientists think we are still coming out of the last Ice Age. https://www.amnh.org/explore/ology/earth/ask-a-scientist-about-our-environment/how-did-the-ice-age-end Geologist Ro Kinzler answers this question: When and how did the ice age end? Could another one start? It turns out that we are most likely in an "ice age" now. So, in fact, the last ice age hasn't ended yet! Scientists call this ice age the Pleistocene Ice Age. It has been going on since about 2.5 million years ago (and some think that it's actually part of an even longer ice age that started as many as 40 million years ago). melting icicles We are probably living in an ice age right now! But Earth's climate doesn't stay cold during the entire ice age. The curious thing about ice ages is that the temperature of Earth's atmosphere doesn't stay cold the entire time. Instead, the climate flip-flops between what scientists call "glacial periods" and "interglacial periods." Glacial periods last tens of thousands of years. Temperatures are much colder, and ice covers more of the planet. On the other hand, interglacial periods last only a few thousand years and the climate conditions are similar to those on Earth today. We are in an interglacial period right now. It began at the end of the last glacial period, about 10,000 years ago. ------------------------------------------------- ... then there's the 'Little Ice Age' ... commonly applied to the broader period 1300 - 1850. The Little Ice Age followed the Medieval Warming Period (roughly 900 - 1300 ce) and preceded the present period of warming that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. https://www.britannica.com/science/Little-Ice-Age Then this story from 1816 but caused by a volcano eruption in 1815 ... 1816 - The Year Without Summer (U.S. National Park Service) https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/1816-the-year-without-summer.htm Remembering Vermont's 6-inch snowstorm in June 1816. https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2022/06/08/remembering-vermont-june-snowstorm-1816/7544554001/ Predicting Snow for the Summer of 1816 https://www.almanac.com/predicting-snow-summer-1816 Would you welcome snow in the middle of summer? Here’s a peculiar prediction: A July forecast of 'rain, hail, and snow' mistakenly appeared in The 1816 Old Farmer’s Almanac. Enjoy this oldie but goodie: Robert B. Thomas, the Almanac’s founder, recalled the books and had new ones printed, but news of that forecast had gotten out. He became the subject of much ridicule - until July brought rain, hail, and snow throughout New England! I always kept my eye out for copies of the 1816 edition. When I occasionally find one, in some antiques shop or sent to me by a reader, I immediately turn to the July and August calendar pages to see whether they contain the famous snow forecasts Thomas supposedly made for that summer. 1816, the Year Without Summer https://historicipswich.net/2025/06/25/1816-the-year-without-summer/ The year 1816 was known as 'The Cold Year' and 'The Year Without a Summer'. In our area, it was called 'Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death' and 'the Summer of Mittens'. Throughout New England, there was frost in every month of the year. The winter had been normal, but in April and May, the cold never went away. Trees remained leafless and brown, and oak trees failed to grow at all, deducible from the missing growth ring for that year. Small migratory birds died, their bodies littering the fields. The sky was hazy with a sulfurous tinge. On June 5, a heat wave raised the temperature in Ipswich to 92°, but that afternoon a cold front swept across New England and the temperature fell to 43° by the next morning. For the next four days, there were severe frosts along the Eastern seaboard, and snow was recorded in some locations. By the 9th of June, ice began to form on water left standing outside overnight. Rapid, dramatic temperature swings continued throughout the summer. ...

My releases have just been updated.

I assume you write driver not for current OS. And what prevents you from trying to set it to TRUE and check reaction? _asm wbinvd P.S. 1. The same short loops. 2. DXDIAG Sound Test does not work. It asks for test but does not show any message for specific format testing after that and immediately shows that tests executed successfully.

Well, I got it from a forum from a large country that is currently under heavy sanctions. 😳 Link to post. Maybe you can wake him up?

I can get avc codec with this: --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=default,ios,-android_sdkless;formats=missing_pot" -f "bv[protocol=m3u8_native][height<=1080][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc]+ba[protocol=m3u8_native][ext=m4a]/b[protocol=m3u8_native]" (JS runtime required)

It stopped working as of today with 403 Forbidden after receiving a little bit of data. From the post above I can use this. It gives me a VP9 video. Is VP9 the only option? --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=default,ios,-android_sdkless;formats=missing_pot" -f "bv[protocol=m3u8_native]+ba[protocol=m3u8_native]/b[protocol=m3u8_native]" The format codes I previously used with HLS don't work anymore.

The current documentation for AllocateCommonBuffer specifically says that the bCacheEnabled parameter is ignored and to use AllocateCommonBufferEx instead (not supported until Windows 8). The Windows 2000 DDK documentation doesn't say that (it just says "CacheEnabled :Specifies whether the allocated memory can be cached. ") but it might still be the case. I set it FALSE anyway for the CORB, RIRB, BDL, and DMA position buffer. The audio buffer is not allocated through AllocateCommonBuffer anyway though, it is allocated through DmaChannel->AllocateBuffer which is a function from Portcls. KeFlushIoBuffers is #define 'd to nothing in the Win2K DDK version of wdm.h and the __wbinvd() intrinsic is not there yet either. As long as it works on Intel controllers with the no-snoop flag set I am not going to overly worry about this, but the same issue might also occur on the ATI/AMD SB450/SB600 and there it might not be possible to turn the snoop bit on if the BIOS leaves it off. Need to check that again with WPCREDIT.

Two solutions - or use UC (or maybe WC) buffer or explicitly use WBINVD in the end of writing to buffer. PVOID AllocateCommonBuffer( [in] ULONG Length, [out] PPHYSICAL_ADDRESS physAddr, [in] BOOLEAN bCacheEnabled );

Myth #3: 'Retirees aren't targeted because they're cautious' My dad always claimed he was "cautious". But then he'd complain about the ungodly amount of spam he would get because he'd submit his email address to any-and-every web site that asked for it. It took a DECADE into his retirement years for him to finally start listening to advice regarding keeping his email address and phone number OFF OF every retailer's "system". Seriously, why does the local barber need a PHONE NUMBER just to cut your hair? Hint: they don't, you just have to force them to learn how to use DIFFERENT sections of their "system". Myth #4: ‘Credit monitoring will stop identity theft’ Like the article says, nothing but a smoke alarm that tells you there is a fire but can't do anything to prevent the fire. Myth #5: "There's nothing I can do about data brokers" I'm very big into FAKE data. It becomes a bit fun at times. Insurance or something like that needs an "email" on file, so you use a TEMPORARY email that is THEIR email but ADD the word "crap" or "spam" or "bs". They'll claim it isn't real and they need a "real" email. So you make them jump through the hoop, "It *is* real! Email me a 'code' and I'll cite that code back to you right here on the spot!" Personally, I *hate* that I couldn't use a FAKE email here at MSFN - but there is no evidence of it being "misused" or "sold", so no lawsuit pending </sarcasm>.
