Need some help with a wierd problem. I have a cdrom connected to a older SB16 (non-pnp). The SB16 works fine for everything but games with audio. If I play an audio CD, it works fine. If I play a game with mixed cdaudio, like space quest 6, all I get is static. Sometimes you can hear the audio in the background.

Not sure where to look.

Any ideas?

Tracked it down to a problem with copied discs. I used linux cdrdao to copy BIN/CUE files to blank CDs. The data worked fine, but the audio is messed up. Just need to find one that works properly.

The fix was an option to turn on byte swap.
cdrdao write --swap file.cue
