hey all the smart guys!! I really need some help!

The music in my dos game is really choppy and laggy!

I've read all the comments about sound configuration~
The solutions that I've gather so far are as follow:

Under the file [VDMS.ini]:
- Change the minDMAPeriod and maxDMAPeriod in the [DMA Transfer Manager.config] section.

**(The dafault value was min = 5 and max = 15. My music is laggy so what value should i change? what are the max and min value anyways??)

- Change the sample rate under [SB Controller.config] section.

-change the buffer value for both [AdLib Controller.config] and [SB Wave Player.config] sections.

**What happens when the values are high? low? what are their max and min value anyways??

Please Help me!! I will be very apperciated!!

What game? For DMA polling settings try lower values. 2/3 or 1/2. Try playing with advanced CPU timing options. Try reducing CPU usage.

And use the Launchpad. If you are using the Launchpad, do not use the "Enable basic VESA emulation" -- it will cause problems on some configurations (thanks for 'patching' that up Microsoft!)

Yes, it’s my fault.
