I got myself a copy of cod1+exp yesterday i will check it out for sure, but cod1 doesnt support a3d right? I thought it was just eax.
The A3D support pack (atleast i think that was the name) is an update to the existing drivers with additional fixes and tweaks i guess.
I have experimented a bit with and without it installed, and ofcourse i have compared the 2041 to 2048.
In half life as an example the 2041 to me makes alot of sounds muffled beyond belief.
I probably have had more luck with 2048 than 2041.
Also you can disable eax support im the 2048 control panel menu.
I really really am starting to love my Xitel storm platinum card.
A really neat thing is that it has digital optical out so i can connect the retro htpc to my big living room reciever.
Pure digital signal with no noise 😀
Oh btw the sample conversion quality setting that i mentioned earlier really made SiN shine.
But it is not perfect.
I wonder what A3D console command or win98 tweak that can make it 100%
I think it is a windows bug that gave me these sound problems with a3d quad (4speaker) option turned on.
If only i can figure this out as there really is no alternative way to play the games as driver support is worse on later windows versions.
There is no way i will get rid of win98se either as it is the perfect os otherwise for my needs.
About the sample rate setting.
I have not tried any other games with this setting changed yet so i cant say if it will work on more games.
Quad mode on SiN is amazingly better when that setting is turned down instead of up to the max.
I tried to google about the sample rate conversion quality on win98/win98se but i cant find shit.
Im really curious about what it does/does not do.
And about any bugs etc regarding it.
SiN is one of my absolute favorite games and i never had an Aureal vortex 2 back then so im really amazed that SiN can sound this good.
