help sound 4 channels
hello everybody, I find that winuae is super and still thank Toni for his work. I have a full 5.1 system. But I always have a problem since the verion 1.3.4 and like with latest versions, the option 4 channels do not function well anymore, it miss the half of the channels. With the version 1.3.3 the 4 channels option works very well the 4 channels are used. Toni please help.

It's working fine here with the latest versions. Running WinUAE with logging on (Option panel->Misc->Logging), and attaching to your post Winuae.log and bootlog files would probably help telling where the problem comes from and what it might be.
I'd probably open the soundcard panel, and with WinUAE running and it's sound playing, try to tweak windows side settings and see if it starts working. Mine's kinda weird too, not WinUAE related, but when i turn 4 channels or 5.1 it's ok, when i set 2 it doesnt play any sound, set it to headphones mode and it does. It's weird and borderline random. |

I tried but nothing happened
Thank you for your help. I tried to do what you said but nothing happen. But what it strange: all work fine with the version 1.3.3. i can use the 4 channels option in winuae control panel. But when i do it with the next versions only 2 channels. I changed nothing, i try with the old 1.3.3 version all is ok and just after i try with newer one just the half of the music then i don't think i made something wrong. when i comeback to the 1.3.3,the 4 channels option works fine. perhaps this is a bug of winuae (in the later versions) or an incompatibility with my sound system, I will try to put the files logs later. ps:Sorry for my bad english and thank you again

Already discussed during 1.3.x betas. Newer DSound SDK libraries does something differently, seems to be very driver specific problem. ("unfortunately" it works fine here)

Thanks for your reply Toni,
but perhaps somebody can advise me a good new compatible soundcard or a good driver for my soundbaster live!5.1. I think this is the last solutions. Last edited by turrican3; 07 April 2007 at 15:24. |

It will be solved in WinUAE in future by using real 5.1 stream (which is apparently guaranteed to work with 6+ channel sound cards) instead of 4.0 stream.

Please confirm if beta6 fixes the problem. Remember to select "5.1" 4 channels mode.

Sorry but i tested the options 4 channels and 4 channels 5.1 and it doesn't work, i havn't all the channels yet. I did a too fast test before, sorry. Is it impossible to come back to sound system like winuae 1.3.3?? I insist for thi because it's really impressive to enjoy amiga with the 4 channels surrounding, every friend who listen that is impressed.

I can confirm that 5.1 isnt working either... still
added logs incase of usefulness. all i did was run usual os39hd, and launch pinballdreamswhd. 2 channels missing and no output at rear. 4 channel 5.1 selected. Creative EAX and CMSS Dissabled. |

Weird. Driver accepts 5.1 mode but for some reason it ignores all channels except front left and front right. Confusing...
Perhaps first open that fails confuses the driver? (WinUAE first tries "generic" 4 or 6 channel mode before it tries "extended" 4/6 channel mode). I'll post some test versions later today. |

Do you have 7.1 sound card? Do you hear missing channels if you switch rear speaker output to side speaker output? (or vice versa, not sure how they are labeled in 7.1)
I just noticed something possible stupid in ksmedia.h header file, there are two different 5.1 speaker settings, obsolete and XPSP2+ version. Only difference: rear speakers are replaced with side speakers.. Includes interesting comment: // The following are obsolete 5.1 and 7.1 settings (they lack side speakers). Note this means // that the default 5.1 and 7.1 settings (KSAUDIO_SPEAKER_5POINT1 and KSAUDIO_SPEAKER_7POINT1 are // similarly obsolete but are unchanged for compatibility reasons). |
