XP High Definition Audio

Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver version 1.0a for Windows XP Sevice Pack 3.
(Article ID: 888111)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111

Version 1.0a of the Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver for Microsoft Windows. This release supports the High Definition Audio and Modem implementations that are known to Microsoft as of August 1, 2004. This is the second version of this driver.

Version 1.0a of the UAA High Definition Audio class driver does not work on High Definition Audio implementations that were disclosed to Microsoft after August 1, 2004.

You must uninstall version 1.0 of the UAA High Definition Audio class driver before you install version 1.0a.

Devices this driver supports:
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Adi 1983
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Adi 1986
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - CMedia 9880
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Conexant Waikiki
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Realtek 260
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Realtek 261
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Realtek 280
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Realtek 880/860
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Sigmatel 9770
 - Microsoft UAA Function Driver for High Definition Audio - Sigmatel 9772
 - Realtek Content Creation Bay
 - Realtek High Definition Audio

** HOW TO INSTALL **
Many driver distros such as the Realtek High Definition Audio CoDec, already contain the hotfixes for various Windows versions, but none install for XP Sevice Pack 3.

As Micro$oft have not made a hotfix for XP-SP3, you normally have to make Windows believe it is still only SP2.
I give you 3 options 😀
With the first 2, it is important to disconnect from the internet, or switch off Windows automatic updates until you are finished.

1) The normal way.
run “regedit” from the “Run…” box on your start menu, and browse to the location;
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows“
Edit the entry named “CSDVersion” from “300” to “200“, and close regedit.
Windows will now think it is running Sevice Pack 2.
Now you can install the hotfix “kb888111xpsp2.exe“, and then reset “CSDVersion” from “200” back to “300“, and close regedit again.

2) My alternative way.
Right-click on the supplied registry file “XP-SP2.reg” and select “Merge“
Windows will now think it is running Sevice Pack 2.
Now you can install the hotfix “kb888111xpsp2.exe“
Right-click on the supplied registry file “XP-SP3.reg” and select “Merge“
Windows is now back to SP3.

3) Normal Driver install (The way they should have done it in the first place).
Just extract the folder “Driver” to somewhere easy to find.
Open the Device Manager (you will find this on the “Hardware” tab in the “System Properties” Control Panel applet).
Update the missing drivers, by pointing it at the folder you just extracted.

Now you have the base HDAudio drivers installed, you should be able to use the proper driver update for your sound chip.

Audio Tagging

Usefull tagging software

ID3.org Homepage (The people who made the standard)

Mp3ext – www.mutschler.de/mp3ext
If you are still lucky enough to be using Windows XP, then MP3ext is perfect for tagging many files at the same time.
It is also far more powerful and flexible than it looks.
I recommend getting the icon-set “xpStyle” to go with it.

AudioShell – www.softpointer.com
Similar to the above program. (These two programs are the easiest to use)

Mp3tag – www.mp3tag.de
Excellent tagging program. Allows the user to select which tags are available to edit.
eg. You can add the tags for “BPM” and “Original Artist” etc.

TagScanner – www.xdlab.ru
Extensive tag support of many audio formats.

AudioGrail – KC Software
Has some useful extra features (free version limited to 30 files at a time)

WinAmp – WinAmpPro 5.666 – :ninja:
Will tag many audio formats. Easy access to tags such as “BPM”, “URL”, “Original Artist”, “Publisher”, “Copyright” etc.
I cannot recommend this program enough. If you use windows you should use this.
It even supports iPods and other fussy media players!

Audio Encoding

MP3 Encoding
LAME Engine (Windows)
These packages contain all versions;
EXE, DLL, lameACM, lameDS, lame-libsndfile, and the Lamedrop GUI
LAME 3.99.5
LAME 3.99.5 UPX compressed versions
LAME 3.99.5 64bit
Individual files available from RAREWARES
Linux and Mac versions also available.

LAME Graphic User Interfaces (GUI)
RazorLame (old but still very useful. Easy to save your own profiles.)
LameXP (also encodes other formats)

What you need to know about using MP3
Motion Picture Experts Group is a branch of “Joint Picture Experts Group” (JPEG) who made the *.JPG picture format.
It is the property of the Fraunhofer Institute. There are free versions from other developers.
It does not encode the best quality or the smallest, so why do we use it?
Just about every electronic device is capable of playing MPEG files. It is the most standard portable media format.

MP3 is not MPEG-3 ! There is no MPEG-3 !
WHAT ? How can this be?

Motion Picture Experts Group first version of MPEG was used for video discs (VCDs).
Music fans realised the MPEG audio format was ideal for compressing large audio files, as it packs the file a block at a time.

*NOTE* ZIP and RAR for example, compress the whole thing in one go.
Compressing data streams a chunk at a time, from front to back is known as Run Length Encoding (RLE)
Without this method we would not have streaming media (Imagine an internet with no YouTube!).

The audio stream in these early MPEG-1 files is known as “MPEG-1, Layer 2”. (I used this format back in the Amiga days, and still have the files.)
These files were usually saved as “*.mp2” or “*.mpa”. They became widely known as MP2, which would later cause confusion on Windows PCs.

The use of it as a stand-alone audio compressor, prompted the further development in this direction, and a new third MPEG layer was created.
“MPEG-1, Layer 3”, is the format that we still now use, though It is still continually being developed and tweaked by a few coding groups.
This new audio format could make much smaller files at the same quality settings, and with the growing size of hard drives it became far more common for people to copy whole CDs to their computer! (wow imagine that)
These files are almost always saved as “*.MP3”, but as you can see they are actually still based on the original MPEG-1.

Motion Picture Experts Group second version of MPEG was used for Digital Video Discs (DVDs).
MPEG-2 allows much higher quality encoding.
There is an audio encoder that uses “MPEG-2, Layer 3” called “MP3Pro” (Nero supports this format). Unfortunately it is not standard, and most media players do not play them correctly, because they are also always saved with the “*.mp3” extension. They contain both a 44K and a 22K stream, but most players only see the 22KHz one.

History lesson over.

What quality settings should you use?
Depending on the source and/or destination this will vary, but once you know one thing it becomes easy.
💡 CDs are equal to MP3 at 44100Hz (frequency), 170k (bit rate).
DVDs audio is at 48000Hz and variable bit rates

Now you have your standard, you can decide whether your file needs to be above or below CD quality.
Digital encoders tend to have steps in their bit rate settings, and you will notice that there is no 170k bit rate for MP3.
💡 This is why you see a lot of files encoded at 160k or 192k.
A CD ripped with a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) of 192k, should contain all of the audio you started with.
Unfortunately MPEG is a lossy format, and to achieve such small file sizes it uses ancient magic to discard audio that is calculated you won’t miss.
If you max the bit rate to 320k you will keep the quality, but at the cost of huge files.

💡 A more sensible way to store quality audio, is using Variable Bit Rate (VBR).
Setting a minimum and maximum allows the encoder to compress quiet sections of audio at low bit rates, and complex or loud audio at high bit rates.

The audiophile group at the old R3Mix forums came up with the ideal settings for CD quality MP3.
💡 Min:96k Max:224k and a VBR Quality setting of 1. The quality setting tells it to prefer or bias the quality one way or the other. 0 is the highest and 10 the lowest.

If you are mastering your own music, then you need to think about whether you should be using a higher quality setting.
If you want to distribute CD quality files, then the R3mix settings are perfect.
If you want to distribute higher than CD quality files, then the maximum of 320k (CBR or VBR) should be set.
If you want to distribute DVD quality files, then you should export them at 48000Hz and encode them at 320k.
If you want files for a streaming music service such as Last.fm they should always be in 44100Hz and at least 128k CBR.
Variable Bit Rate is ideal for streaming, due to the smaller files, but sometimes a file with a very quiet beginning can confuse the site you upload to, as the beginning of the file will have a low bit rate, it sometimes gets rejected. All you can do is export it again using CBR, or raise the minimum bit rate a step.

Most modern programs on Windows, Linux and Mac can and do make use of the “LAME” MP3 engine.
It has several built-in profiles (inc. R3mix), your software may support them.
WinAmp is always very up to date with the latest LAME encoder, and supports the profiles.

If you copy the “lame_enc.dll” and “lame.exe” files to your C:\Windows\System32 folder, many programs that are well written can use it (Exact Audio Copy is a good example). Otherwise you usually have to put it in the programs own folder (the plugin folder for WinAmp).
Many programs just require you to point them at it, and many just find it automatically.
Audacity has its own version you must get 🙁

Before you download the driver and complain “it doesn’t work”…
…THIS DRIVER IS ONLY FOR THE “TK13Cm2”
and some other old obsolete webcams (listed below), not other random Technika cameras.
If you have a camera that is not MODEL TK13Cm2 THESE DRIVERS WILL NOT WORK !
Contact Tesco (link below) …


TECHNIKA Ultra Webcam and Headset

If you haven’t done so, PLEASE complain to Tesco.
TESCO CONTACT DETAILS
BBC Watchdog program

– BTW. Yes I did phone customer support (normal and electrical goods) and they tried to help as much as they could. But as they couldn’t provide anything other than the original useless driver CD (only works for XP service pack 1 or lower), and couldn’t find out who makes their products, as they have no access to that sort of information.

. I urge everyone to ask them for the help you know they can’t give you, and take them up on the offer to receive a call about your “customer support experience”.
They called me within a few days (I guess my call went to the next step quickly as it was unsolved).
:eyes: Rather than a discussion about my “experience”, I was asked a load of questions from a very “leading” questionnaire. I chose my answers very carefully, as the questions are designed to make Tesco look good.
:devil: If you are aware of this before the call, you can use it to your advantage and have a bit of fun at their expense :whistle:

Am I the only person to have contacted Tesco about Technika product drivers ?
It would appear so, as they don’t feel the need to update their site.

I have found the drivers online, by searching for “USB2.0 PC Camera (SN9C201)” (as this is what is written in the installation pics in the manual).
💡 (if you have a different model webcam, you may find the clues you need in the photos of the setup process in your manual)

This lead me to one of those pain in the arse driver collection sites.
:star: http://driverzone.com/device.php?id=2444937 (updated link)
You can ignore this link, as once I knew what I was looking for, I looked for the makers of the chipset used in the camera, which lead me here.
http://www.sonix.com.tw/sonix/downloadSearch.do
Select “Video/Image Controllers”
then “PC-CAM Controller”
& finally “SN9C202”

Direct Links to Sonix info/downloads :star: (Links now dead – product obsolete)
This driver is for SN9C201 & SN9C202 chipset cameras.
They also have drivers for Mac OSX (which you don’t get on the install CD) :up:

:yes: LINUX drivers for this, and other Microdia web-cams can also be found here – Microdia

Current driver versions are (at the time I update this blog)
SN9C202_v5.7.27000.0_Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/Win7 (12388KB)
SN9C201/202_v1.03_MacOSX (1920KB)

The difference between the two product numbers is;
SN9C201 = USB 2.0 compliant video single-chip processor
SN9C202 = USB 2.0 compliant video/audio single-chip processor
both products use the same driver installation, and strictly speaking the SN9C202 would be the actual chip used in the Ultra Webcam
NOTE: This is an old and obsolete chipset :rip:

💡 THESE DRIVERS “SHOULD” WORK FOR ANY MAKE OF WEB-CAM THAT USES THIS CHIPSET 💡
This includes Intel, Trust, Microdia, Sonix or Tesco (I won’t say “Technika”, as this is just a made-up brand name, and not an actual company, with an actual website or any contact details of any kind)

To sum up.
Sonix made the chipset (a long time ago), Microdia seem to have made the camera, and Tesco put a sticker on it, and packaged it with driver version 1, which was pre-Vista and only worked for a few XP users (probably ver.1 XP pre-SP1, with no updates), so was already outdated when Tesco first got it.

:star: UPDATE (07/09/2008)
In the one day after this page was put up, it already had loads of visits.
I guess there are a lot of people without the installation disc, or want better/updated drivers.

:star: UPDATE 2 (26/03/2011)
A few years down the road, and this page still gets a stupid amount of visitors from all over the world!
I guess the cameras are endlessly being sold back and forth on ebay 😆
I’ve re-written a few bits and added more info, as people seemed to be following the wrong link, instead of the direct links (now labelled as such).

:star: UPDATE 3 (18/01/2012)
I keep getting asked about this “H16WC-01” webcam so I thought I’d look into it.
If you have one, you are stuffed. Get rid of it ASAP, and stop buying Technika products. Tell everyone you meet, and tell your children, and tell them to tell thier children when they have some etc.
Here is the official support page for the chip used in the camera.
PixArt PAC7301/PAC7302
LinuxTV info page has examples of other cameras using this chip. Try the drivers for those (Labtec Webcam 2200, looks like a good bet).

:star: UPDATE 4 (05/10/2013)
Good news! Tesco updated their support page in 2012 :hat:
Bad news! they just copied the same 6 drivers to the new site :doh:
So it looks like I continue to be the unpaid, unofficial support for Tesco into 2014.
Due the the ancient nature of the webcam, the official driver source no longer has it.
If the link I have left also stops working, I will host the files myself.
Catch up next year, for another laugh at the :monkey: :monkey: who run Tesco.

NOTE:
NEVER BUY ANY TECHNIKA PRODUCT THAT MAY NEED SOFTWARE.
:doh: They make cheap hardware, based on ancient obsolete products.
If you need more proof, check the original Tesco Technika support page at the bottom. It hadn’t changed since 2006, so only has support for dead old products :rip: they used to sell about 8 years ago :yikes: They have 1 driver for a webcam no one probably has anymore :jester:

:hat: Hooray for me!:cheers:
:faint: Boo to Tesco tech-support, or complete lack of. :doh:
