DosBox Sound Emulation
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


See User information
I use DosBox on my Sam440ep and it runs quite fast and smooth. I have
only one problem/issue with audio playback.
I don't know if it is something related to the DosBox configuration (the dosbox config file) or it is something related to the game configuration under dos. I am not so expertised dos gamer and so i do not know about Soundblaster IRQ,DMA etc etc..

The audio quality is really good but the playback is not good.. it plays like it is stopped every second. So it plays, it stops, it plays and so on..

Any ideas?

Under the game, for example Ween the Prophecy, my audio setup is:

Quote:

SoundBlaster
IRQ 7
Address 220
DMA 3 (i tried 0 and 1 too but nothing changed..)


Here my DosBox audio config:

#     mpu401: Type of MPU-401 to emulate.
#             Possible values: intelligent, uart, none.

#             Possible values: default, win32, alsa, oss, coreaudio,
coremidi, none.

I guess it's DosBox settings but elsewhere. CPU cycles too low or too high.
