BTW what's the crash message?

Maybe I used the wrong word. It just freeze with playing the last sound. There is no error message and Ctrl+Alt+Del is not working. I have to switch off the IGEL, because it lacks a reset Button. The time or situation when this happens is different each time. Sometimes it freeze in intro of Duke3d, sometimes I can play several minutes. Same happens with Quake. Without SBEMU, and because of that without sound, I can play for hours.

Thanks for testing again on your machine.

Edit: I don't know if it's helpful. But I "think" the voice of Duke is a little slow. Maybe 20%. But I can't tell for sure.

The duke voice is playing good here... I'm afraid that I need a real machine to debug it. that might help, or not. but it always involves another debug machine. 🤣

As I already told you, I want to buy this machine for you. I always have a really bad feeling, if someone has to spend money just for helping me! My machine is "IGEL 4210 LX", and it's all VIA inside.

Edit:

The Mainboard is WinNET P680, which is also used in

Edit2: Wait! I think I found the (my) problem. As I'm using a notebook for DOS too, and they share the same config, I've copied the "problem" from one to another. On the notebook I'm using power.exe to stop the fan from spinning all the time. That's causing the problem on the IGEL with SBEMU. Without SBEMU (and without hdpmi32i of course), power.exe makes no problem. But with, it will freeze after some time. Played the first level of Duke3d without any crash/freeze. Will do some more tests, but it looks like that's the problem. For the duke voice, maybe I just can't remember it right. Probably it's right how it is.

Different versions of QEMM (7 to 9 are usable for SBEMU) are available on REMOVED

Okay, it was power.exe for sure. Quake demo is running almost one and a half hour in loop now, no more freezes.

Sorry for confusing you crazii and sorry for blaming your wonderful piece of software. It was my fault for not checking everything possible.

As for power.exe, I don't need it on this machine. And the notebook has an solo1 soundcard, so I don't need SBEMU there. But for other notebook users it may be an interesting solution for lower CPU temp. Maybe you can have a look for it, if you have some spare time.

Used manual from https://www.jamesfmackenzie.com/2023/03/22/ho … able-usb-stick/
I tried a little, SBEMU at Asus E2KM11 DELUXE mini-motheboard "all integrated" (AMD Radeon HD 7340 & Realtek ALC898 - ok for windows xp and VDM Sound).
SB Pro + OPL FM passed 😀 Some software and games ok. Some games and soft - no sound or big noise.
Soft reboot = no emulation, required power off system full.

Sorry, I didn't want to cause trouble with my question about a source. I don't get along with QEMM anyway. I also don't think it was intended for use under Windows 98's DOS 7.10. I think someone else will have to test the combination of QEMM + SBEMU.

Hi i tested SBEMU 1.0beta3 on laptop hp compaq nc6220 with few games and it work you are legend but i have 3 problems
1 sound is gliching from time to time and i can deal with it
2 i can control volume only in game options not all games have that . volume buttons and mute button on case do nothing evrything is to loud
3 sound is coming from laptop speaker and headphones at same time

for now i unpluged internal speker and i use my DIY headphone box with volume knob to be able to set volume on headphones

I'm experiencing difficulties with this software. Here is my specs.

AMD Ryzen 3 (Summit Ridge), ASRock A320M-DGS motherboard, audio detected as HDA. FreeDOS 1.3

IRQ 5, DMA 1. Attempting to set IRQ as 7 caused crashes, at IRQ 5 it works pretty stable... but no actual sound comes out. The programs output okay messages as they load, everything is booted, everything is detected, but no actual sound. Tested in Doom 2 and Duke Nukem 3D. Duke's SETUP recognizes the Sound Blaster and displays no error messages at "Test Sound FX" or "Test Music". But no sound at all. Tried both soft reboot and power off, no difference.

Here are my Config.SYS

What am I doing wrong?

Are you using the SBEMU supplied Jemmex, or the one from Freedos? Just checking.

Yes.

ave369 wrote on 2023-04-23, 20:56:

Yes.

Sorry, didn't read your note at the end; or all instances of Jemmex in CONFIG.SYS.

I imagine you've also tried with just the NOEMS option.

Also, does MPXplay work for you (without SBEMU loaded)?

I did not try that. I'll test it.

Does anyone else experience that when executing sbemu 1.0 beta3 with the '/K 44100' or '/K 22050' option, the message "Error: Invalid Sample rate" is returned?

If support can be extended to additional devices, Pentium III/M Toshiba laptops use this AC sound card:
ULi/ALi M5451 AC-Link Contoller Audio Device
The motherboard is a:
ULi/ALi M1644 CyberALLADDiN

I have a P2010 with a Pentium III 866MHz and would love to test this.

Try without the space: /k44100

You don't need 22050, as this is default

I'm not in front of it, right now; so I can't test it. But did you try without a space? '/K44100'

You right, I don't think I see ALi M5451 in there. Maybe the M5455 would be. Have you tried it, or MPXplay?

When I run sbemu, it complains about no soundcard found:

1No soundcard found!
2Unknown soundcard (output module) name : NUL

I also tested on my NC6220 and it works there, so I think I'm doing it right.

Thanks

It seems the /vol parameter is not working with my SB Live! 5.1, even using /vol0 the sound is very loud. With my integrated AC97 soundcard /vol works fine.

No change at all, or not enough change?
