Hey, Not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything posted on it. When running all games with VDMSound there is a bit of delay with the input... example if holding down the right button to walk to the right... i keep walking for 1 second after i've let go of the button.. or it takes half a second to respond to my keypress sometimes. It is not just one game in particular it is all games that it does it, from older dos games to newer ones. I am running Windows XP, P3 800mhz, 256mbram and i tried using XP's crappy dos and it does not have this delay/lag but it has no sound either 😜. Any suggestions as this makes most action games unplayable.

Odds are, this is a "Hates NT" problem as opposed to a VDMSound problem:
showthread.php?threadid=642&highlight=input+delay

Also, if you audio card or chipset is on the weak side, that could potentially drag things down.

If all else fails, run it natively without sound and check the response time again.
