How do I get sound?

Post by ch4rl3sb »

I'm using R41 of the emulator and just started trying to do sound tests. But I can't get sound to work.
What do I need?

The first thing I'm going suggest is upgrading to R43.

First, Jaw drop, I had heard of R42 and R43 but had not seen a link to them!
https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator/releases this was the only link I had to emulators!

next, R43 seems to have broken everything else I had... i.e. joysticks, my game loads but I have no controls.
(-joy1 wasn't working in R41 either, it defaulted to keyboard, but -joy2 worked.)

You don't have to use the -sound option to get sound unless you want the sound output to go to a specific device. And then, you have to use the FULL description.

-sound "Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio)"

ah. "quotation marks" to surround the full title. didn't know that. cause Speakers (Real...etc.) didn't work.
but, I can't seem to get any sound in the first place. will try again.

When you say you can't get sound.....
Game programs run but no sound ?
You tried the FMPLAY or PSGPLAY in BASIC ?
I assume that in the Host system (Windows 10 in your case) sound is working properly
