Hi again, Eric. > And if SBPro mode is silent in mpxplay then > I guess it is also silent in your DOS games... Yep, that's right. Although I used QuickView instead of an old game to check that. And some other programms I have tried recognized SB Pro successfully but were mute as wel

Hi Anton, > I don't quite understand what -bp means, but the default > buffering mode doesn't use interrupt decoding, while with -bp, > as the readme.txt says, "decoder runs on INT8". Hmm okay maybe this means that mpxplay without -bp does not get the right notification that the buffer runs

Hi everybody and thanks for the feedback. After futher experiments I fixed the problem by changing mpxplay's buffering mode to that defined by the -bp key. And then it started to work in the -scs VIA mode. No sound in the SPB mode though. Same with QuickView: pretends to be

Hi all! The author of mpxplay didn't answer me, so hereby am asking if there's another way to cope with the problem. I am not familliar with how an OS works but maybe there's a way to scan and log all that the OS does so as to understand the cause of so strange a perfo

Bad news: Now I have tried turning off everything connected with USB and booting without emm386. It didn't help. And viaudio.com (not viaaudio...) doesn't un-mute my card when I run mpxplay in the -scs SBP mode. Also overclocking my processor to 855 MHz (for plain .wav fil

Hello, Eric "you may have to set the BIOS option to AC97 on/off or SB16 legacy support on/off or both, and you may have to use the VIAAUDIO.COM tool (see my other mail) to un-mute the VIA." Yes, I enabled onboard audio (otherwise there's be no sound at all...) and also "Legacy

Hello, I tried playing some music with mpxplay and couldn't. I enabled AC97 in BIOS and launched mpxplay with -scs VIA option, and it did procuce sound, but it was faltering and CPU Load (reported by mpxplay) swung between 12% and 279% outrageneously. My c
