RE: Sound in VBA-M
Well I just checked the IRQ but I don't see a listing for the Realtek High Definition Audio.

I did however find Microsoft UAA bus for high definition audio and that is on IRQ 20 and is listed under Hardware Resources in System Information.

I just checked Conflicts/Sharing under hardware resources and it appears my the Microsoft UAA bus driver for high definition audio is either sharing with or conflicting with Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller.

If you want to know my PC's model/make I'll list it below since I've already listed my specs:

My PC is a HP s7700n Slimline PC.

I am currently running XP SP2 x64 as mentioned above. I'll make sure I'll try some different drivers to see if rolling back or updating fixes the problem.

I'm pretty limited on what I can do at the moment since I'm on satellite internet and we exceeded our bandwidth threshold yesterday so we're pretty much at sub dial-up speeds for a few more hours until we come out of fap (Fair Access Policy).

IRQ 20 is pretty high, i found that my video card and sound card went to irq 15 and 16 respectively after enabling apic and its then that the stuttering and jitteryness started.
Some experts say that IRQ doesn't really matter, but i myself have found that the higher the IRQ the less priority the device gets.


What about audio drivers?, when was the last time you updated them?

I last updated my audio drivers about a month ago. A new version has been available but I haven't had a chance to update them yet.

Also Realtek's FTP site for drivers are slow as heck, so you can pretty much see why I haven't bothered yet.

Does OpenAL fix the sound in Virtual Kasparov?

The music is clearly stuttering while selecting a continent to play chess in. The music will sometimes play normally and without stutter until a variable amount of time, but the condition seems to change indefinitely.

that stuttering appears to be caused by the buffering time.

Also, Spacy, the volume of openal is determined by what output device you select, it seems if i select generic hardware or software, the volume is the same as other modes, if i however select my sound card in the list, the volume is boosted.
