Secret of Evermore: SoundOutput distorted?/notright

joe_devore · Post by **joe_devore** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 10:35 pm

The Sound I hear from Secret of Evermore is not right.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
System Specs:

Windows 98
300Mhz MMX AMD K6.
48MB SDRAM
2MB On-Board Video memory.
On-Board shit audio card (ESS Audiodrive mixer 220)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried many sound configs, they didn't work.
Here is a Links to my current zsnesw.cfg file.

Here is the NSRT Log file for Secret of Evermore I am using.

It is a Perfect Dump.

The BG music did not sound right.
The FX sound was worse.
When you would move the cursor when you are typing your name in the sound is not right.
I know because I OWN the Orginal game.

I am using the latest WIP. 8-03-2004.

I am not sure How best to describe the difference in the sound.
It could be because of the shitty On-Board audio card I have no choose
but to use.

Any help would be apperciated.

I posted about the same thing several times in the past. It's really annoying having the sound all f'd up. I'd really like to play SOE in Zsnes, it would be nice for this problem to be looked into.

I was over at Zophar's Domain the other day and saw an update for a SNES emulator called SNEeSe. One of the updates that caught my eye was..
"Sound: Fixed a bug in envelope height reading of channels that weren't playing; value to be read wasn't being updated, fixes Secret of Evermore"

Perhaps this is related? I have no idea. I have tried Secret of Evermore in SNEeSe and the sounds seem to sound fine.

BG music seems fine for the most part.
SFX sound foreground and background sounds messed up.
It would be nice to see a fix.... some day.

Any new news yet, anyone looking into it.
