Hi!
This problem is a little off-topic, but I hope someone has seen this before and can give me a hint.
On my VIA EPIA board (VIA C3-2 1GHz, onboard audio), dosbox has horrible sound problems. Sound stutters massively, regardless of settings.
I am using Linux with ALSA, tried various dosbox versions. I believe it is _not_ dosbox's fault, as the exact same binary works fine on my 333MHz laptop. I've tried changing video/cpu settings in order to save CPU, but it doesn't change a bit. I've tried all sample rates from 8000-48000, and various buffer sizes.
One thing I observed is: Sound seems to play exactly at half speed. One buffer of audio is played, and then I get silence for the same amount of time, then again a bit of sound, silence again. This repeats continuously. I assume it's a single audio buffer being played, as I get longer sound-silence periods when increasing the buffer size or reducing the sample rate.
The funny thing is, the box is my TV (mythtv), it runs lots of (CPU/memory/disk-intensive) stuff just fine, no problems anywhere. So I'm completely lost why dosbox is the only program not working as expected.
Any ideas?
