There are a few patches out there. Anyways, care to do some larger testing?
I did some code for that myself some time ago (sb16, cd audio from an image)
but there was nobody for testing at hand.

Certainly.

When?

When i thought "now who could test that" ... 😀

Those who want to do testing, please se if you can compile/work with the
cvs sources, and have examples of both wrong-sounding cd audio as well
as sb16 (these two should be the only issues, said to sound seriously distorted
or static-like) at hand.

I'll try to dig out the changes and create a patch.

OK, I have dosbox from cvs working now.
I have never experienced any problems with SB16 audio, though, as far as I can remember.
Maybe that particular issue depends on a game using the SB16 in a certain way many games don't.

I have various games to test the CD audio issue with, though.

Ok thanks.

Try putting some logging at GenerateDMASound(), where the
case DSP_DMA_16: case DSP_DMA_16_ALIASED: is, this is the code that is
used for the 16bit soundblaster transfers. Maybe use duke3d (select sb16
and dma/hdma 5) for testing, that should use it.

If somebody else wants to do some testing i'll upload a diff, otherwise i'll
send it directly to you.

I have found a game that has the SB16 issue after all: the Wing Commander 3 demo has nothing but static during movies, though the ingame FX sound ok when using SB16.

Received and applied the patch, and it looks very good so far. 😀
The movies in WC3 sound fine now, as does CD audio via bin/cue from Prototype, Extreme Assault and Screamer.

Ok thanks for checking this out. Maybe i can abuse you for other bigendian testing by times 😉

Is this patch going to be included in the next official DOSBox release?

Yes.

It's committed so please test if it works in the cvs now.

Works fine.
