Change the names of silent Universal Installer/Uninstaller (UIU)
and Universal CoInstaller (UCI) files for modem to avoid conflict
with the corresponding files from Conexant Audio drivers.
Files with the same name and contents may cause WHQL

UIU32m.exe for 32-bit OS
UIU64m.exe for 64-bit OS

New naming convention for UCI for modem:
UCI32Mnn.dll for 32-bit OS
UCI64Mnn.dll for 64-bit OS

Note: M stands for modem
nn stands for the last 2 digits of the UCI version.
All All
Fix an intermittent system crash (BSOD) when system goes to
Stand-by mode while the modem connection is active. The
problem is system specific and caused by a race condition
between OS services and modem driver.
Windows Vista All
System locks up when the system goes into Stand-by mode
while the modem connection is active and "Allow Hybrid Sleep"
settings in Power Management control panel is set to "Off".
The default setting of "Allow Hybrid Sleep" in the OS is "On" and
with this setting the problem doesn't show up.
This issue was resolved.
Windows Vista All
Wake On Ring (WOR) is not functional when the system goes
into Stand-by mode while modem connection is active.
This issue was resolved.
Windows Vista PCI modem

Conexant Confidential 13 08/11/08
Fixed an intermittent failure to establish a successful connection
on very difficult lines (line characteristics close to the 2A6
standard). This issue was caused by failed error correction
negotiation.
All All
Improvement for V.90 connection rates on a very long line (~26
Kft).
All All
Fixed low connectivity rates or failure to connect the modem
with Discrete DAA and SoftRing detection. Issue was observed
during an automated test that does not close the ports between
each session. The problem is not observed in a real world
scenario (Dial-Up Networking, etc.) where the modem port is
reopened on every dial attempt. Problem was introduced in
7.60.00
All
Modem with

INF Changes:
Failure to load INF file under DTM RC2. To attain WHQL logo
for Windows 2000 and Windows XP it is required to use
Windows Vista DTM.
This is a Windows Vista problem introduced in DTM RC2 and
fixed in DTM RTM.
The workaround is to use the following:
[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %WINDiskName%,,,
instead of
[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %WINDiskName%,Disk1
Windows 2000
Windows XP
All

Version 7.60.00
Problems Fixed/New Features Added
Operating
System
Hardware
Platform
Intermittent failure to detect ring after successful V.90 or V.92
connection with modem board requiring software ring detection.
WDM SL2801

Version 7.59.00
Problems Fixed/New Features Added
Operating
System
Hardware
Platform
Intermittent false detection of Call Waiting tone while modem is
connected. This is a very rare condition and it could result in the
session to be disconnected.
WDM All
Bug check randomly happening when system goes to the
suspend state during the "Sleep Stress with I/O" test from DTM
RC2.
Windows Vista All

Version 7.58.00
Problems Fixed/New Features Added
Operating
System
Hardware
Platform
Bug check 0x3b while running devctl.exe on Windows Vista,
caused by
Failure to allocate DMA during devctl.exe test which injects fault
conditions when accessing the DMA later. The fix was to:
1) Return initialization result to upper layer.
2) Validate DMA buffer pointer before access.
WDM All

Conexant Confidential 14 08/11/08
Bug check 0x9F randomly happening when resume from
standby or Hibernate starting from Windows Vista Beta 2 (build
5384).
When modem goes to D3, a series of events will power down
the codec and enable wake on ring. Sometimes, the bus driver
will already be in lower power state and reject any requests
coming in. This can also cause further failures when system
resumes.
The fix was to change the order of events and check for certain
conditions before making power management calls to avoid
scenarios where there is no response form the bus driver.
WDM All
Modem connection is stuck when CW CID arrives and country is
set to China
The problem was fixed by:
1) Allowing DTMF CID only for CID type 1
2) Add a new state handler for a state that previously was not
handled correctly
WDM All
Random CWCID failure during MOH sessions using NetWaiting
Fixed by changing the method of detecting and identifying CID
type 2.
WDM All
Failures to detect CID type 1 on some test cases in TIA/EIA
777A
Changed the logic in some of the routines handling CID type 1
detection.
WDM All
Add support for call hopping on Windows Vista WDM Windows Vista
INF changes:
1) Force BUFFERS=OFF for modems that have no hardware
buffers (ignore INF setting)
2) Default volume setting should be L3 for modems with buzzer
CP
3) Synchronize the settings for KMixer initial delays for 32 and
64-bit systems
4) Add entries for XAudio files to make sure the CoInstaller will
remove them during uninstall.
5) Ignore DaaType setting from INF for modems that supports
just Discrete DAA
6) Add new INF files for all relevant OS/type/etc. combination so
that call progress will route though buzzer when sound driver is
disabled on a system with SmartSP board with buzzer.
7) For HDAUDIO modem, UIPATH in default INFs should use
HDAUDIO instead of PCI
8) Add HDAUDIO prefix to ProductName definition for
HDAUDIO modem in default INFs.
9) Remove obsolete commented out lines referring to csacpl.cpl
10) Failure to load INF file under DTM RC2
This is a Microsoft problem introduced in DTM RC2.
The workaround is to use
[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %WINDiskName%,,,
instead of
[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %WINDiskName%,Disk1

Conexant Confidential 15 08/11/08
Removed the code that releases and re-allocates the DMA
which was added as a workaround for an issue with bus driver
version 1013 and is no longer needed.
This was causing a BSOD during power management test of
DTM.
WDM
All platforms
with SoftRing
Detection
INF changes:
1) XAudio .sys and .exe file names were changed for 64-bit
Windows Vista
2) Define blanks instead of empty strings for +GOI and +GSN
values to avoid INFCHK errors
3) Add infrastructure for Lassen (INF files, PVCS folders) for all
OS
All All

Version 7.56.00
Problems Fixed/New Features Added
Operating
System
Hardware
Platform
System lock up when going to S3 or hibernation with HDA
modem. The modem was changed to work around a system
lock seen on a specific system. The lock was seen while
returning from, or going to, a low power system state. The
modem was found to be in a loop waiting for the bus driver. The
change in the modem is to remove an indefinite wait state in the
case where the bus driver is unavailable. This allows the system
to return or enter the desired state without locking up. This does
not ensure that the modem will work, as the bus driver must be
available for proper modem operation.

SmartMC4,
SmartAMCHD2
Version 7.55.00
Problems Fixed/New Features Added
Operating
System
Hardware
Platform
The modem was seen to have Random CWCID failures (4%).
The modem Caller ID detection scheme was modified to add
tolerance for the timing between the signaling and the data.
All All
WOR was reported as not working on Windows Vista for Teton
HDAudio. The problem was found to be in the configuration.
The modem was changed to accommodate different ring
detection schemes used with the HSF Teton. The new
configuration method was added which allows the INF to control
whether the hardware ring detection method or the software ring
detection method.
Windows Vista HSF
Add the ability to hide the power management tab in the modem
properties.

The modem was changed to correct a reference to an
uninitialized set of parameters. A change to the codec interface
made in 7.50.00 introduced the problematic reference on ATi ,
ALi, SIS and VIA. The problem did not exist in the ICH hardware
module. The problem does not exist for ver 7.49.00 and below.
In the failing condition the modem port open during installation
WDM
AC'97 modems
on ALi, VIA,
ATi

Conexant Confidential 16 08/11/08
would cause a system failure.
Version 7.53.00
Problems Fixed/New Features Added Operating System Hardware Platform
The modem was changed to prevent a system failure
seen during Driver Verifier NDIS-Standby Open test.
The modem driver was attempting to access information
that had expired. This access of invalid information
causes the system to blue screen. The change adds
conditional checks on the information to ensure that
they are valid prior to access. The blue screen indicates
that the failure was probably caused by
HSF_CNXT.sys.
WDM All
The modem was changed to implement a work around
for an issue seen with SmartHSF4 (Bryce) when
attempting WOR from S4. The symptom was that the
system was no longer responsive after the RING was
detected and the system begins to return from S4. The
problem was found to be rooted in the status of the PLL
used for the clock signal. In the failure mode the PLL
was not configured to run. The work around is to ensure
that the PLL is running in the routine used to return from
the low power state. Since the SmartDAA4 does not
have more than one power mode, it was assumed that
the PLL (clock) would be running while the modem is
active. The change is to remove the assumption and to
verify the clock is running when the modem is directed
to return from the low power state.

A fix was implemented to correct gain settings in the
codec after connecting at V.90 on certain lines. When
the modem is placed back on hook the gain settings
are reset as to allow proper ring detection. A gain
switch change was also implemented that corrected a
failure to detect caller ID. The In order to detect an
incoming ring signal and then the CID signal to
follow, the codec gains must switch from low to high
gain and then back to low. This functionality has been
fixed in this version of the HSF. This change applies
to discrete DAA products using softring. Specifically
this fix applies to lead-free HSFi for ring detection
and to Teton for ring detection and caller ID.

A Work around introduced for SiS AC97 modems
going to S3. The modem now checks to see if the

the bus has not been prepared the modem makes
the proper settings before going to the low power
state. This workaround resolves a failure to wake on
ring in Windows 2000 and in prior versions of the
operating system. Windows Xp does not require this
work around.
