#3 Can´t Play Sid´s.

[Jan-Peter Rühmann]

Hello
If I try SDL I get an

Not able to have SDL with your specific format

If I try ALSA I get

Error could not set sample format

How I make it work?
Is there a way to use Pulseaudio?
Thanks,

hi,

best choice is to use SDL (Alsa works too but has a delay in starting of music)

One configuration that works is:
* 16 bit sample
* stereo channels
* signed sample format
* 44100 frequency
* 32768 buffer size

Please, takes present that libsidplayfp require original ROM (kernal, basic, chargen) for playing sid file correctly, so in Emulator, after choosing LibSidPlayFP you had to indicate the roms locations (you can use the same that comes with Vice emulator).
Without them you can play SID files that did not take directly access to Kernel/basic.
Best emulation is with Resid over Resid-Fp, selecting the sampling methods that you CPU support.

PulseAudio is currently non supported and the source has still the old OSS, ESD e ARTSC sound systems in the code even if they are no more tested from years,

This gives

segmentation fault  /opt/xsidplay2/xsidplay

Thanks,

Now it works.
I should have restarted the Programm after changing the Settings.
Thanks,

One little thing that have passed me, If you press play without a selected file the Programm crashes. That should not be I think. It should give a message like "no File" or at least do nothing.

hope this will developed further in the Future.

hi,

you are right: it generate a segmentation falt if the play is pressed without a file. I will debug it with efence/valgrind to find the problem.

thanks
