Floppy drive sounds from another sound card

michaljarz · 15 October 2023, 21:24

Hi.
I have a little question. Would it be possible to redirect the floppy drive sounds to another sound card? There are some cheap USB cards that, when connected to a small speaker, could produce sounds from a floppy drive near the keyboard (which would increase the emulation effect

).

Regards

Michael

Technically good idea but I don't think this is worth the trouble. Currently all sound gets mixed with Paula audio. Also too much extra sound configuration needed.

I use an old Lenovo i5 Thinkcentre tiny PC as my emulation PC, there are similar machines from Dell and HP. These can be purchased second hand for not much more than the cost of a Raspberry PI 4 + accessories.

They usually have an Intel chipset with HDMI/displayport output, but also have a secondary audio device, usually Realtek, which can output from a small internal speaker.

It would be fantastic if the floppy sounds could be sent to the internal speakers on these machines.

Hi. Would there be any hope of resuming the topic? Possibly sometime in the future, with the next version, e.g. 5.3.0, 6.0.0 or 7.0.0....
