EAX support?

Open michaeljhkim opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

So I know that vmware supports eax because it emulates sb128, but is it possible on virtualbox? I feel this is an important question because a lot of games stand to benefit from eax support.

There is a VirtualBox package providing MPU401, OPL3 and AWE32: https://git.javispedro.com/cgit/vmusic.git/about/

As for EAX - agree it would be a good addition. Potentially useful code:

  • AudioPCI/SB128 is emulated also by QEMU, PCem, 86Box (which are open source in contrast with VMware)
  • Linux Live! and Audigy drivers
  • Illumos Live! and Audigy drivers: code
  • EAX wrappers, etc. joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/3597, https://github.com/kcat/dsoal/issues/36
    • wrapper in the guest - https://github.com/kcat/dsoal/issues/22
    • can somehow DirectSound/EAX/I3DL2, A3D and OpenAL be redirected to the host, where you can install the regular DSOAL and OpenAL-Soft?
