H800 Sound Artist Tool Driver fix

[Jackhead]

Hi,
im looking for help fixing the DTL-H800 drivers for windows to get the hardware working.
Part of the later SDKs, there was a folder psxsound include some beta drivers for the h800 on windows.
There was also in the PS2 SDK a preview programm called JAM what can be used under mac os with the H800.
I had a setup before and it was working great.
So with JAM you are able to work on realtime with midi on the h800.
Unlikely JAM was only for linux and mac.
The h800 beta driver get the hardware installed on windows, but starting vab preview tools gives errors on linking to the hardware.
So with working drivers i think its possible to use the h800 for output vab sequences. And well maybe to write some interfaces to use a daw for example.

I wonder if its possible to finish the job making the driver working, and looking for some help.
There inf and other files need to be checked.
Anyone interested ? I will post more informations and the files later..

Ok here is my start point. I used the VABTool 2.0beta from the PS2 SDK (https://workupload.com/file/PBAwEQ3mnfE).
In the readme its written that the vabtool is now able to playback a sequenze using the Sound Artist tool.
2. VABTool - This is a windows program to contruct/edit VAB files

a) You can edit/add programs and tones.
b) You can set ADSR settings for tones.
c) You can add VAG format files to the sound data section
of the VAB file.
d) You can edit '.VH' format VAB Headers.
e) You can join and split VH and VB format to VAB format.
f) You can preview sounds as you adjust them.
g) Supports the PCI Sound Artist Card.
h) DevKit preview tool added.
- NEW - i) SEQ preview on PCI Sound Artist Card added.

10.You can now playback SEQ files. The feature is only available on the
sound artist PCI card (H800). It had hoped to emulate playback in
software for SoundBlaster also, however my PC simply isn't fast enough
to decode and mix 24 voices fast enough to keep good timing. Pitch
bend messages are currently igonored.

So first test with the preview VAB over the H2500 works fine. I got output and can play sound over the devkit itself.

You point on a preview.bat to get it working.

Next i was trying using Preview sequence with the H800. So i selected the Sound Artist Tool over the preview menu.
Soon as i start to preview the sequence i got this error messages:









In the readme there is also a point where i have to copy the VXD file into the windows/system directory, what i did..
1. The VXD driver file for the PCI sound artist card must go into the
windows/system directory.
