Hi, all
I use the on board audio:
auvia0 at pci0 dev 7 function 5: VIA VT82C686B AC'97 Audio
I can use it to listen mp3 without any problem.
But when I try to play snes9x with it, I get to broken sound. :(
If I increase the buffer size(with -B option), it can play sound well,
but the drawing will delay very seriously.
For resolving this problem, I try to fix the pair values
(audio.play.sample_rate and so.buffer_size) then I get better balance with
these two values - 48000 and 4096.
I get the fine sound effect and a bit delayed drawing.
Can someone tell me how to determine the best numbers for these two values?
The on board's AC97 aduio seems to have some ability restrictions and can't
be applicated by some programs.
Do we have the better solutions besides buying a new soundcard? :)
The OSS seems to have the "SoftOSS".
Need your help!

Regards
