Re: Diablo 2 Sound Question

Posted on 2019-11-13, 07:50

in Windows
Found today something interesting (http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/faq/hardware.shtml): What 3D sound options does D2 support? We support DirectSound, Creative Labs's EAX, as well as Aureal's A3D. So, are we sure that D2 doesn't support A3D? Or is this a 19 years old wrong/outdated info in …

I think I found something... The "crackling" problem disappears when I reduce "Audio playback" -> "Hardware acceleration" level from "Full acceleration" down to "Standard" (usually), "Basic" or "Emulation only" (always). 1. Is this a know source of this kind of problems? 2. Is this a valid solution? …

If you look at the original quake wav in Audacity and the new one, and listen to them side by side you will hear and notice a clear difference between the two. Please take a look at the other recording (BG2). Do you see the same thing with these recordings? The Audigy is performing a low-pass …

I repeated now both tests with another card (SB Audigy 2ZS) and here are the recordings: 1. Quake Demo1: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=46809569099322559156 2. Baldur's Gate 2: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=46507424447717257794 I'd say the both sound OK, the problem …

Are you just trying to make a SLI cable? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=565976#p565976 Thanks, but I know this one already. I'm about to design a SLI bridge as a PCB (something like https://sep.yimg.com/ay/outletpc/biostar-98-bri2-r02p-sli-bridge-gpu-connector-28.jpg) and was wondering if …

Ok, I got them! Here are samples for you to experience yourself how it sounds: 1. Quake Demo1: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=69923472879519679807 Notice statics during explosions - very evident 2. Baldur's Gate 2: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=08803516804469822061 …

BG1-2 and maybe Unreal, any other problem titles? I'd put it down to title specific DirectSound bugs or the cards' crappy EAX implementation if it remains so limited, at this point. Right now known are: - BG1 - BG2 - Icewind Dale - HOMM III - Quake - and (most importantly?) sound test in dxdiag …

Nice try 😉 I have tried it with several speakers / headphones and the issue is present across all of them. I think I'll have to make a recording of this noise so that you can hear it …

Just a shot in the dark, but VIA chipset... I stick with Intel on faster Windows 98 machines. Not want you want to hear, but this has always given me great Vortex 2 sound. I will try the cards again with a 440BX system when I find more time. Well, I tested it today in a 440BX system and the …

I'd start by testing it in different PCI slots. Sound cards sharing resources with stuff like ATA controllers and video cards will cause audio artifacts. But I just wouldn't trust in Aureal cards for EAX. I prefer earlier drivers, ver 2041. I have checked it - the card has an unique IRQ Just try …
