winamp plugin with an fm801

[Darron B. <da...@ke...>]

Hi there.

I have been playing around with an FM801 based card and recently installed
winamp with adplug on an XP machine.

I have set things up but fail to get any sound from the OPL3 device within
the FM801.

From literature obtained online about the FM801 ( FM801-Linux.doc ) we
can see that it has it's OPL registers at offset 0x0068 consequently after
installing the porttalk driver I informed the winamp plugin to utilise
the addresses found at 0x9068, where 0x9000 was the base address obtained
from the windows driver infomation applet for the Fm801 device.

I may be just assuming too much expecting this to work so simply, but the
winamp plugin did not complain about not finding an OPL3 device, so perhaps
I can reasonably assume that this is working as I anticipated.

With regard to no sound, however, it is also interesting to note that the
FM801 has other registers outside the OPL spec which adjust it's volume
and indeed enable the FM synthesizer. These registers are obviously not
adjusted by the plugin.

Anyway, after this massive preamble I reach a question for the list:

I would like to update any code locally for the plugin/core to determine
if the other registers mentioned above are indeed stopping noise emanating
from the fm801 or not, hence I would like some advice from knowledgable
adplug coders as to what source files I need to play with to try and get
this to make a sound.

Thanks

PS. There is no means to adjust the FM volume in windows via the sound control
applet, plus using the FM synth as the output midi device works in media player.
