I think it should be very interesting to see how DOSBOX-X runs with an emulated SoundBlaster, especially in games that use redbook audio.

Just run DOSBox-X under Linux or Windows if you're already using DOSBox, anyway?

Yes, I know that what I want to do is kind of pointless, after all I can run DOSBOX without any difficulty on my desktop, but I would like to use some old notebooks (Pentium M) for this. And they have a little difficulty running DOSBOX fluently on Windows, and I've heard that DOSBOX-X has less overhead running on DOS. If I could squeeze a little more performance into my libretto and keepeng redbook audio capability, that would be great.

Hello @THP, i saw that you made a fork of SBEMU, and I was curious to know if you have already taken a look at VSBHDA, and if you happen to have a current version compiled with the latest changes?

What drew my attention to VSBHDA is the fact that it is compatible with HX extender and by extension, also with DOSBOX-X.

Unfortunately the latest release (Apr 12) of VSBHDA does not produce any sound on my devices. But I saw that since then the code has been changed a few times, and possibly the problem has been fixed.

I think it should be very interesting to see how DOSBOX-X runs with an emulated SoundBlaster, especially in games that use redbook audio. Anyway, if you have the latest compiled commit of VSBHDA, it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for my bad English.

This thread is for SBEMU so discussion should be for SBEMU.

I test two of the other sbemu again with front audio output, but this sbemu size was exactly the same as previous one.

Size doesnt matter .. in this particular case 😀

Unbelievable.

It works!

Optiplex DT 780 with Xeon X3360 and 16 Gb of memory but system set to only see 256 Mb of memory for this purpose. Running FreeDOS from bootable USB stick. Used SBEMU beta3. Typed SET=BLASTER A220 I7 D1 at the command line before accessing any game. Used the setup file in the game folder to tell it what card and settings to use and then launched game. Will probably stick SET line into FDAUTO.BAT. Sound came out of speaker in computer. Then plugged powered speakers into front jack and there was the music and SFX in all their glory.

Only tried two games, DOOM and HEXEN and they work. I still have keyboard problems to solve as these games do NOT like USB keyboards and are unusable when in the game. Before getting into the game the keyboard is fine.

Thanks to all those who made this util.

Thankfully I get several test-builds to check what registers are needed to get AD1980 working on line-out. Seems that there is some progress 😀
So thanks for the support of "my" problem...I really appreciate it!

More compatibility tests:
- EPIC Pinball (works great!)
- Pinball Dreams 2 (works great!)
- PinballFantasies (works great!)
- WWIIGi (works good, but sfx seems to be wrongly pitched when setting above 16khz for sfx (like 22khz/44khz)
- Extreme Pinball (works, but sound is cratchy/crackeling, don't know what the issue is)

Really nice is the thing that there is some sort of speed-fixing within jemmex+sb-emu. Normally PinballDreams2 and Fantasies make sweeping noises when you play them on a fast PC, this is really a big deal for me! So thank you for that excellent software! Future goals perhaps: including emulation for covox and gus.

laptop is loading sbemu, but no sound in the builds attached here
1.0beta3-5-g5a4def9
neither on the releases of thp

can I help somehow?

I do have a linux mint installed on this machine.

I assume audio is working fine on Linux Mint, right?

Please boot into Linux Mint on that machine, and then post the output of the following commands.

For the listing of PCI devices:

lspci -nn

To see which drivers ALSA has loaded:

cat /proc/asound/cards

Well, here's the first report for you on this obscure little codec.

Curiously, even PC Speaker gets muted.

Symptomps:

Before SBEMU, pcspeaker sounds.

When SBEMU is executed (no matter of version), speakers do a pop sound.
Then, no sound, neither on PC Speaker.

Since your sound card is an HDA sound card, have you tried the "/O" switch to SBEMU? Use /O0 (that's slash, uppercase-O, followed by the digit zero if the font you see is as bad as the one I see here) for headphone, and /O1 (that's slash, uppercase-O, the digit one) for speaker.

When SBEMU is executed (no matter of version), speakers do a pop sound.
Then, no sound, neither on PC Speaker.

I'm the author of this hdastat utility.

In the protocol displayed, I see that after sbemu has been executed, the HDA doesn't find any AFG ( audio function group ) codecs anymore. Without such a codec, sbemu cannot render anything.

Perhaps you should try the VSBHDA fork - communication with the codec is inherited from the MPXPLAY source code and I recall that I made some changes there ( although I cannot remember right now the details ).

Update on the AD1980 issue. Was doing some test builds and dr.zeissler tested over the last two weeks with some back-and-forth.

Turns out we were quite close to the real answer to begin with, 3 bits need to be set on the MISC (0x76) register:

0x4000 - AC97NC
0x0400 - HPSEL
0x0020 - LOSEL

..and another PR that enables controlling the AC97 CD-IN mixer via the emulated Sound Blaster mixer. This allows playing back CD-Audio the "analog way", i.e. with a analog 4-pin cable going from the CD-ROM drive to the sound card's CD input. MSCDEX is of course still needed (games use it to control playback), and if your sound card doesn't have CD-Audio IN, or your CD drive doesn't have an analog audio out (or you just haven't connected them with a cable) then this won't work. I have successfully tested this on a K7S5A board.

I did some tests with build 2023-10-24 of sbemu-x with my SB0100 (SBLive) sound card, for this I connected it to my super multi using a 4-pin cable but I have not been able to listen to the CD music in games like Fatal Racing and Rayman.

Also, I tested with my CT4740 sound card which I understand has an ES1373 chip but sbemu-x freezes.

Too bad. However, as it's a SB Live and it's just about CD-Audio, using EKM should work to enable CD-Audio from the mixer chip. I use it on another SB Live where I pass SB16 output through its Line-In, I'm sure something like that should work for CD-Audio as well (but haven't tested CD-Audio with EKM).

Does the ES1373 work with MPXPlay? What about Windows or Linux?

Where can I download this build?
