Change 0c0c to 0000 and you get much higher volume. Thanks. Update: Its working, but i would say its for change too loud, i like to keep my speakers on same level regardless of sound card, i changing them quite often, is there some middleground value and something to rebalance FX / FM volumes - i …

ALS4000 FM was worse then ESS-ESFM in my opinion, so I did no further testing. Yeah, even Rayer said that elecronic on it looks cheap, main chip and nothing, but for me its better working sound it all Dos game, but fancy clear sound only in some of them, with enough PCI slots you could have …

With ALS4000 unofficial driver is included DOS driver source code, its it big thing, could someone in theory with it fix some not working games and enhance chipset compatibility? Or incompatibility problems is more often due whole chip design?

With an external capture, you at least know you're getting "accurate" results. Yeah, there are just simulate monitors, if they got signal they wait for whole picture some end bit.. and put it to screen.

In Simple view of problem, you just need some device, which will make screenshots -for digital signal just dump some memory blocks - every 16 ms for 60 FPS and just send it to …
