Winuae Sound Options

Hey, I am new here, but I swear I had an account before.

I don't want to bore you with my amiga 500 in the old years. So right to the point. I love Winuae, its my favorite emulator, MAME being second. That said I always have an Issue with Winuae (every other emulator I have no problem with), I cannot share my sound card with a music player, say Winamp. I go though the options and find one that works then somehow it stops working.

Here are the specs:
Winuae 3.3.0.0
HT Omega Claro 2 - Excellent card by the way
The Audio Controller on my card is C-Media Audio Controller
Digital Optical out to Sony 5.1 Cordless headphones, and / or Logitech 5.1 Digital coax out.

I just tried using analog input on my headphones, Still the same.

It shouldn't happen unless you selected WASAPI EX (exclusive) sound mode.

OK I see this in another config:

win32.soundcard=7
win32.soundcardname=WASAPIX:Speakers (CLARO II)
win32.soundcard_exclusive=false

My original config - That already works now due to trial and error:

win32.soundcard=2
win32.soundcardname=WASAPIefault Audio Device

So I added this to the original config:

win32.soundcard=2
win32.soundcardname=WASAPIX:Speakers (CLARO II)
win32.soundcard_exclusive=false

Just to make sure I do not go fumbling around with the settings and screw thing up.

Thank You.

win32.soundcardname=WASAPIX:Speakers (CLARO II) - Did not work. So I went to OpenOL and sound works as wanted, except I have to alt-tab to start winamp.

soundcard_exclusive is obsolete option, it is ignored in recent versions. Always do load and save of old config first to get rid of obsolete entries.

EDIT: WASAPI (without ex) is now the recommended default (If Windows 7 or newer), WASAPI enables lowest audio latency since 3.4.

This works without having to Alt-Tab to start Winamp. I had this config setup once and forgot it, Probably due to the Winuae version. I am also using Windows 7.

Thank You
