The game uses AHI for sound via the library interface. It worked for me with the Paula 8-bit and emulated WinUAE 16-bit driver as well, but I didn't test anything else. What do you mean by "other modes" exactly?

I downloaded the demo, and it worked fine here.

Hi :-)

I mean Paula 14 bit modes.
On the Amithlon i'm using 16bit AHI specific divers and the sound output works good.

The game can only mix in 8 and 16-bit, so 14-bit modes won't work. I'll see if it's easy to implement, and if so I'll add it to the game's mixer for the sake of completeness.

edit: It looks like the 14-bit modes use "regular" 16-bit samples, so I was able to fix this with a simple workaround. The next version will work fine in 14-bit modes.

The aforementioned "next version" took quite a while to come out, but it's finally there:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/uhe...Thyrion/1.5.9/

Although the changelog doesn't do it justice, it gives you a general idea of what happened in the last 2 years. If you had trouble with the previous version, it's worth giving this one a shot.

Too cool! It's a shame that I'm terrible at Hexen II compared to the original.
