Hi!
Thanks for reporting the issue. Honestly, drvsetup uses rather a hack to register the driver in Windows Multimedia list (introduced solely for supporting x64 Windows), and I'm not really surprised that it doesn't work in media center. I'm not very familiar with media center internals, so I suspect it can be caused either by using another media service or configuration settings in this particular environment.
But you can try 'official' installing method that implies using the .inf file provided with the driver @ https://github.com/downloads/sergm/munt_devel … _2011_10_03.zip
There is also a README which provides detailed steps for installing the way "Add Hardware wizard" provides.

Please, let me know whether this works.

Hi sergm! thanks for your message, and sorry for late reply

I try everything without luck

This is the last i tried, I installed Windows XP Sp3 in my 3 PCs, plus, one more, from my brother

PC Intel C2D + WinXP Sp3 = munt install OK (drvsetup or manual install)

Laptop Pentium M centrino + WinXP Sp3 = munt install OK (drvsetup or manual install)

Laptop Dual Core + WinXP Sp3 = munt install OK (drvsetup or manual install)

PC Athlon XP 1Ghz + WinXP Sp3 = munt FAILS (drvsetup or manual install)

The 4 machines with same Windows, nothing changed, exept of course, different sound drivers

In the Athlon XP mt32emu-qt_2012-06-17.zip or mt32emu_winMMdrv_2011_10_03.zip fails

Same driver works perfect on the other PCs

On the athlon XP the original old munt install and works, but sound bad!

Then i tried DOSBox with munt

In the athlon XP, the yhkwong DOSBox works perfect with munt

But dosbox_mt32_2012_04_21.zip , hangs, and close

https://github.com/sergm/munt_devel/downloads

But this DOSBox that hangs on the Athlon works perfect on the other 3 PCs...

Finally I think maybe the problem came with your builds.... hardware problem??? the athlon XP is not enough ????

I take some screenshots, when i tried to install sergm Munt manually on the athlon XP

Thanks! and sorry for long post 🙄

You're right. My builds all require SSE2, except the qt-app itself. BTW, are you sure your Athlon XP has enough processing power? I tried it without SSE2 on Celeron 1056 MHz (overclocked 800 MHz) - too slow for most of tunes.
But this can be exactly the cause why your media center doesn't like munt. Are you aware of what CPU is installed there?

Thank you very much for your reply.

My mediacenter is a Futro S400, a Thin Client, that have a AMD Geode NX 1500, is a Athlon XP 1ghz with low power

About the CPU power to use munt, yhkwong DOSBox build I think have latest munt compile with it (because sound exactly like your driver), and works perfect with the Athlon XP and the AMD Geode

In fact, i can play all games i like (Lotus, Supaplex, Sherlock Holmes...etc) with MT-32 without slowdown with yhkwong DOSBox + Geode or Athlon

The main problem of yhkwong build like official DOSBox, is that vsync is not good, is not working

But I discover this incredible build

Yet another attempt at vertical sync

WOW!! vsync works like a charm in the Ahtlon XP and the AMD Geode!! in all games i test, was great

Thats why i try everything to use your driver, then i can use the vsync DOSBox + MT-32

For now the Futro S400 (AMD Geode) is perfect, all games i test in DOSBOx run perfect, 8 and 16bits console emulators fly, PSX and N64 too, mplayer is great 😀 wow... just for 6W, no fan, and 0 noise 😀

Thanks!! sorry the trouble (and my bad english)

And really a big thank for your MT-32 build, is a great work

Thanks, good to know that after our "optimisations" munt can now run on the pre-SSE2 hardware 😀
