More Information
The new UAA describes a class driver architecture for computer audio solutions that are supported in Microsoft Windows operating systems.
An audio device that is UAA compliant can rely completely on the operating system for driver support. Therefore, the hardware vendor does not have to supply a custom driver for the device. Microsoft plans to supply UAA class drivers for the following classes of audio device in Windows Server 2008.
-
USB Audio
-
IEEE 1394 AV/C
-
High Definition Audio
A High Definition Audio device complies with the Intel High Definition Audio specification. A High Definition Audio device connects to the PCI bus or to the PCI Express bus. This High Definition Audio device can reside on an internal audio card, or it can be part of an integrated motherboard chip set. The update that is described in this article supports the spring 2004 Intel initial hardware release of High Definition Audio-compliant solutions.
The third-party products that this article discusses are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding the performance or reliability of these products.
The advantages of UAA over the current audio industry solution, AC’97 Audio Codec, include the following.
For users
-
Simpler installation of audio peripherals
-
Increased system stability
-
Easier installation of audio drivers
-
Increased performance
-
Glitch-free audio
-
Increased security for protected content
-
Reduced requirement for vendor-supplied drivers
-
Reduced requirement to upgrade drivers
-
Guaranteed basic audio support for UAA-compliant devices
For OEMs and hardware manufacturers
-
Reduced software development, testing, and support
-
Reduced exposure to product support calls and to product returns
-
Easier phase-out for products at «end of life»

- Select your default playback device and click Properties.
- Now go to the advanced tab and uncheck Give exclusive mode application priority.
- Save the settings by clicking OK twice!
Enable Audio on a Windows Server 2012 and upwards
The following steps can be used to:
- enable audio Windows Server 2012
- enable audio Windows Server 2012 R2
- enable audio Windows Server 2016
- enable audio Windows Server 2019
Let’s get started!
- First login to your Windows Server (2012, 2012 R2, 2016 or 2019)
- Move the mouse pointer to the lower left-hand corner of the screen until the Windows Start button appears, then right-click on it and choose Run.

are any of you running windows server 2003, and if so, do you have any problems with your audio?
i’m having a weird problem with my audio… it sounds like a dsp or something is turned on at all times and makes the left channel about 1/3 as loud as the right and it echos really bad
server 2003 is the only m$ OS that i have that problem in… 2k/xp work just fine
i’ve tried several different versions of audio drivers and they all do the same thing in server 2003
is anyone else having this same problem or something similar ??
if u are and have found out what to do to fix it, please respond
thanks all!

Click Start > Run > type services.msc & Enter > Look for the Windows Audio service > Double Click it > Set the Startup dropdown to Automatic > Press Apply > Now you can press Start > Click OK
Audio is now enabled in Windows Server 2003, That just leaves us to enable Hardware Acceleration for Audio in Windows (used for EAX and A3D)
Click Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > In the Speaker Settings section click Advanced > Performance tab > Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to Full > Click OK > OK
if it still does not work after this, you may need to install your audio drivers again!
Hope that helps

What audio card are you running? I had no difficulties with my AC97 onboard, whatsoever.
i have an EPoX board with Realtek AC97 audio integrated
i checked the sound manager program that installs with the driver to see if any environments were turned on, and it was set to None

i was trying to stay away from dx9 cause of all the bugs the first release had, but dx9a seems to be a little better
all is good in server 2003 land now, the echo is even gone from winamp 2.91
i remember seeing a couple posts where people were having problems with winamp 2.91 in server 2003, but it runs like a charm on here, it just had that bad echo with dx8.1
thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated
case is finally closed
