Hi, does someone use i810 onboard sound ?

Hello.

That games are too old and are using
an obsolete method of sound output - direct DAC access.
Try the newer games (the ones that are using DMA) and see if they are better.
Or try the mp3 player dosamp.
If that works better, then you can try
to adjust the DIRECT_WRITE_FREQ constant in linux_sound.h and tune it so that your old games to work better (sorry, I forgot to add an option for that, so it is necessary to change that constant in the source file). But if even the DMA-enabled games sounds poor, then there might be something with the driver. See sound-usage.txt for the description of some driver-specific hacks and try playing with the related options. If that fails, try ALSA (if possible) as it is known to be compatible with dosemu in most cases by providing an excellent OSS emulation layer.

Hi again Stas,

I should have replied to the list, sorry about that.

Ok, I've played with the value of 6000 and tried various possibilities up to 120000, but the sound doesn't improve.

There is something fishy, it seems. The sound is composed of a lot of little "clicks". When a high sampling value (~60000) is used, it sounds like the clicks become shorter.

With dosamp a 44kHz stereo file sounds perfect.

I hope this helps

Regards,
Joël
