Re: [Qemu-devel] Sound & Win98

[Johannes Martin]

Hi,

I tested the Win98 sound patch available at
  http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/download/qemu-0.6.0-6_aqemu.patch.gz
with the additional patch posted by malc on July 25.

My setup:
        Debian/GNU Linux 3.0 with some stuff from unstable
        KDE 3.2.3, artsd running
        ALSA with C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xec00, irq 5

Before applying the patch:
        Win98 SE reports problems with the sound driver,
                sound does not work
        OS/2 works fine with my earlier patch to fix the "write audio"
                aborts (which is roughly equivalent to malc's patch)

After applying the patch:
        Win98 SE does not report any driver problems,
                sound still does not work though
                (media player works, but there is no sound to be heard)
        OS/2 does not load the SB16 driver any more:
                "incorrect DSP version" when attempting to load driver
        --> This can be fixed by adding the dot after the copyright
            string in hw/sb16.c (see patch below).

After applying my patch (see below):
        Win98 SE
                no change
        OS/2 does load the SB16 driver again, but there are large
                gaps/interruptions in the sound output


Any hints?

Thanks
        Johannes
