I havent played with Dosbox for a while now and am very pleased that I can now play Dragonsphere w/ speech and everything plays full speed with just cycles=auto 😁

I only have a problem playing with Discworld 2 ! The sound (music & speech) becomes garbled with static at random ocassions! This problem will appear and go away as I keep playing. Any pointers ? tried changing mixer rate to higher values with no results. tried changing to different sound blaster types with no results. tried changing mixer prebuffer to higher values with no results

I have a AMD XP 3200+, 1GB RAM, NVIDIA 6600GT, SB Audigy 2

I am using ykhwong's Dosbox CVS build (16/06/2006).

Thx for ur time

Ok found source of problem.
Is a bit weird since this only happens with this game, but I noticed that the garbled sound started when the CD-ROM had to spin up again to access data.

Tried to mess with my CD-ROM speed, had mixed results to no avail.

Thats when I had the ideia of creating an image of the CDROM and use it instead of the real thing. sound problems no more! 😁

I hope someone else finds this helpfull 😜
