ALC892 - sort of working, but with lock-ups

Open JakeWorrell opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Hi

I have tried this on my B350 Tomahawk motherboard which has an integrated Realtek ALC892 for sound. I have found that SBEMU appears to work pretty well. I was able to get Doom running with both sound and music. I am not sure if there are any intentions to support this chipset or not - but I thought it worth reporting.

I did however experience lock-ups after a couple of minutes of playing. It's not clear to me whether this is an SBEMU issue or not, but is there anything I can do to prove it either way? Are there any details I can get for you, test procedures I can run that would be useful? Happy to help if I can.

I'm not sure if this is a problem of SBEMU or JEMMEX, or HDPMI. Can you post the sound card information? using SBEMU /SCL to show the sound cards information. BTW you may use /RM0 or /PM0 (zero not o) to disable pm/rm support to narrow the problem. Or you can remove JEMM from you config.sys and without JLOAD of QPIEMU.DLL to see if the problem exists.

Hi @crazii thanks for your reply, I haven't had chance to look into this any further yet as I have been away but will do so asap

I have the same problem

ok apologies for the delay. I have updated to the latest beta and was still experiencing crashes.

/RM0 seems to fix the crashes I was having /PM0 makes it silent completely

With RM0 I get good sound and adlib music although it does sound a bit crackly at times, could just be output clipping due to needing to tweak levels. I will need to experiment a bit more to be certain. Either way this is progress and it seems to be working great.

here's the output of /SCL image

Is there anything else I can do to help track down the root cause of the problem?

Actually, don't get too excited yet. I have just been trying it again and have ended up in a situation where I have no sound at all regardless of /RM and /PM values. I will do some more experimentation soon and get back to you with some more concrete information

Sorry for the delay. you need run with /SCL before SBEMU is TSRed (i.e. run sbemu for the first time)
