Hi list,

last nigth I spend some hours trying out different parameter settings. I achived some results by specifiying an audiorate. By doing so I was able to use the built-in soundcard. I tried settings of 44100, 22050 and 11025. The lower the number, the more robust against drop outs is the system. these dropouts are caused by moving the cursor. When I use the osc~ example there is still a noticable tremolo, but no sharp clicks. Specifiying audiorate also helps for the performance of the Emu soundcard. Strangely, specifiying a audiobuffer worstened things in my case. I tried settings from 0.05 to 1024 but as a result with both soundcards this yielded in series of clicks/drop outs. My guess is that the problems are due to the shitty multitasking model of Win 95 (besides using a slow machine which is, of course, my fault ;)). Ok, I guess I will explore the depth of Linux, given that there is support for the built in soundcard. For the Emu soundcard, there is no Linux support as far as I know. Any recommendations for specific kernel versions etc?

Cheers

Joerg
