sound problem with gamebase

Tue Sep 03, 2019 11:16 am

when i open winuae directly and insert a disk and start, the sound of the game works fine with no problems.

but...

when i open the gamebase, choose the same game and winuae opens the game ( via gamebase) the sound is crappy . i use the newest winuae....

it seems that winuae loads 2 configuration at the same time?

there are many script versions. ;)
and yours may differ slightly from this?.

open the script "amiga.txt" in a text editor.

look for these lines...

Code: Select all

Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||win32.soundcard||0)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||win32.soundcardname||Primary Sound Driver)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||win32.soundcard_exclusive||false)

Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_volume||0)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_auto||true)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_output||exact)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_channels||stereo)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_stereo_separation||7)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_stereo_mixing_delay||0)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_max_buff||16384)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_frequency||44100)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_latency||100)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_interpol||anti)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_filter||emulated)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_filter_type||standard)

Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_stereo_swap_paula||false)
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||sound_stereo_swap_ahi||false)
Edit ALL the sound card values so they match with your good winuae config file "config.uae".

for example
if your good sound "config.UAE" file has this line...
win32.soundcardname=SoundMAX HD Audio

edit this line in the script...
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||win32.soundcardname||Primary Sound Driver)
to this
Set_CFG_Value(%dbpath%\Scripts\Amiga.uae||win32.soundcardname||SoundMAX HD Audio)

same goes for all other values after the double pipes.

mmm, i think i found the problem- in the misc tab were "show gui on start" etc is, there is a selection called "fast rtg emulation". i deselect this and save the config...no crappy sound....but the floppy emulates a floppy sound....but not bad thing, i play whd games.... :lol:

but i'm still testing if the problem is disappeared

save the config when the sound is good.
"good.uae"
and save when it's bad
"bad.uae"

compare the two config files to find the culprit.
add that good setting to the script.
