Patch Name: PHSS_17554 Patch Description: s700_800 10.X AudioSubsystem February 1999 Patch Creation Date: 99/02/03 Post Date: 99/04/22 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.01 10.10 10.20 s800: 10.01 10.10 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: AudioSubsystem.AUDIO-SRV AudioSubsystem.AUDIO-RUN AudioSubsystem.AUDIO-SHLIBS Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Superseded Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_17554 Symptoms: PHSS_17554: 1. Base enhancement for Audio III hardware 2. Monitoring incorrectly handled in Audio Control Panel PHSS_17121: 1. Audio lib has memory leaks 2. Incorrect handling of processes in Aserver 3. Local DCE RPC not enabled in Aserver PHSS_16221: Incorrect sample values from AGetTransStatus(). PHSS_16046: Aserver hangs if several background send_sounds are started. PHSS_13288: Aserver can abort if multiple clients send sound files simultaneously to the Aserver. PHSS_11308: Aserver can abort if verbose logging is turned on via the "-v -l options. When opening the audio_editor and loading a sound file, an error message can appear: "Insufficient disk space to load file". Even though free space is available. PHSS_10119: Aserver can modify files that it should not modify. Audio library is incapable of dealing with some RIFF/WAV files. PHSS_9775: Aserver can create a file with bad permissions. PHSS_8658: Aserver dies when the system is overloaded. PHSS_7783: Audio doesn't work so well on 710's Invoking the volume control, reducing or increasing the volume or changing the output channels to enable headphone or external speakers seems to hang the Aserver process. Doubleclicking the same sample audio file again or invoking the audio_editor and trying to create audio output again fails. send_sound utility also failing: no more output to be heard. Cannot record sound using the mic input on 712s and J200s. Defect Description: PHSS_17554: 1. Base enhancement for Audio III hardware 2. Minumum and Maximum monitor gain values were assigned incorrect values. Resolution: 1. The enhancement was done in order to make Aserver work on the Audio III hardware 2. The Minimum and Maximum monitor gain values are now -128db and 0db respectively. PHSS_17121: 1. Audio lib has memory leaks 2. Incorrect handling of processes in Aserver 3. Local DCE RPC not enabled in Aserver PHSS_16221: Phone Mode check was missing. PHSS_16046: Aserver was unable to distinguish among various clients from the same host. PHSS_13288: Critical code section was insufficiently protected PHSS_11308: A syntax error in the source code prevents logging from working correctly. The "Insufficient disk space" error message occurs because signed values are used to check filesystem free space. These overflow and become negative when free space > 2Gb. PHSS_10119: Aserver can modify files that it should not modify. Audio library is incapable of dealing with some RIFF/WAV files. PHSS_9775: Aserver can create a file with bad permissions. PHSS_8658: Under heavy load, the audio library was taking >8 seconds to connect to the Aserver. When the connection was not completed, NCS became confused. PHSS_7783: Audio on 710 fails badly. Problem with latency changes. Problem solved by merely opening audioCtrl device and keeping open as was done previously.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHSS_17554 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHSS_17554.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHSS_17554.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_17554. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHSS_17554.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHSS_17554.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
