Re: indirect sound

Oh, yeah, I skipped form Windows 7 to 10 haha. Now that I see what's happening it makes total sense, but I don't think I ever would have thought of it... Was this change common knowledge when Windows 8 came out, and I just missed the memo? I don't know, I only noticed it when I copied my Max Payne …

Right, it tells me to set maxFrequencyRatio to something really high like 17121.2. The number is different every time. Here's the demo version for you to play with. I've packed it with the latest IndirectSound and dgVoodoo2, the demo is the buggiest so it won't work without dgVoodoo. You can also …

I've noticed that in Drakan: Order of The Flame, sounds are funked up, like playing bad tape. Have to hear it yourself, when you start the game, hold Shift and make sure 3D sound buffers are enabled on Sound tab. Unfortunately I don't have that game and from what I can tell it's not available to …

jonpol, Thanks for the IndirectSound wrapper. Is it possible to take advantage of OpenAL (OpenAL32.dll) or "OpenAL Soft" (soft_oal.dll) to emulate EAX effects? http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html OpenAL Soft has EAX emulation (which can be turned on/off through alsoft-config.exe), but I can't …

jonpol, I'm curious as to why EAX support emulation is now disabled by default. Is that because it was causing technical problems, was it causing confusion with people who didn't understand that it didn't actually enable EAX or was it something else? Thanks. When I was first working on …

A question: we can be sure that the sample rate/bit quantisation/speaker setup is correctly read by *every* DSound application from the Windows Mixer? (if no other choice is given to the user) DirectSound only allows two things about the device to be changed : SetSpeakerConfig SetCooperativeLevel …

Up :D jonpol, can you explain me in details the differences between your work and this? Can IndirectSound get all the features of the (really old) DirectSound Control ? http://www.bockholdt.com/dsc/index2.html Hi! Sorry for ignoring your question... I didn't get an email notification about this …

Re: Emulating EAX on any onboard sound hardware?

My point of that paragraph wasn't so much to ask "why isn't this working?" but more to ask "what are the chances that this doesn't affect the sound of all of the first three Thief games, all of the first four Hitman games, all of the first four Splinter Cell games, both of the Serious Sam games..." …

Surround/EAX aside, I know this is one famous compatibility issues (funnily, in one of the few games that albeit with reduced quality, still has multichannel output in software mode) I read through a good deal of posts in both links, and it seems likely to me that the problem there happens outside …

Just to ask: is this project strictly for getting surround sound from games that used to have it or is using it as a general directsound wrapper for compatibility reasons also something you want to work on? The original and primary goal for me was to re-enable surround sound. A secondary stretch …

Oh, haha, an expected coincidence then! 😊 In that case, if anyone else reading this has a chance to try Diablo 2 with either real EAX or A3D hardware, updawg and I would both be interested in learning what you find out!

In a strange coincidence I had someone ask about Diablo 2 and IndirectSound this week, and so I've been doing some tests in the opening level. I couldn't find any sounds that played in the rear speakers; they are all positioned forward from the listener. This is a small sample size (just running …

It's not like I want to piss jonpol (I already feel like I did in some past e-mails) . Don't worry; it takes lot to upset me, and I apologize if I gave that impression :blush: I would think that Wine serves a different purpose than IndirectSound, but I've never used it and maybe I'm mistaken. I'm …
