CATSOFT Posted March 17 Posted March 17 I tried with the wait values all the way down to 1. Seems to work just as well. Sometimes I do get a blue screen, at startup or when I run dxdiag, or just random, so I cant be sure what sets it off, settings are all the same. Sometimes works ok, even if I play file after file, sometimes just sitting idle. Anyway, it's a driver not even intended for this operating system. The benefit of the wait down to 1 is that the system is more snappy, regarding playing sounds, so I will keep it like this. Thanks! Cant play midi files, as this does not support it, but funny enough, in dxdiag it works, uses the Microsoft Synthesizer, a software midi interface, why not use that for windows as well.... What I suspect that is causing the blue screen is idle time...... if I leave it a minute or two without interaction then try to play something then maybe I get a blue screen.
deomsh Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) Thanks, good to hear lower wait1 and wait2 are working on your system. About stability: same erratic behavior with vcache at 1024? Higher MinTimeSlice set in SYSTEM.INI can improve stability, but your system will become less responsive. Default is 20 (ms) without any setting in [386Enh]. If you want to try, just add: MinTimeSlice=40 and reboot. You can go up in steps of 20. Highest value I ever needed was '120'. About midi: you can try the Yamaha synthesizer. It's all in this thead. Just search for 'midi'. Edited March 18 by deomsh Type, addition
