Sound Bugs with Pro Audio Spectrum Plus/16

Closed this issue · 2 comments

What happened?

1.The game Prince of Persia v1.3 have sound issues and crash at the end of level 1 when the door opens.

  1. The game Hoyle Official Book of Games- Volume 3 does not detect the Pro Audio Spectrum on the install program, but i'm not sure if it is a bug or not because the game was launched in 1991, and maybe it spects to find the PAS 8 sound card.
    (This game had issues with other clone cards like the Aztech models that emulate the SB PRO, but the SB PRO driver is not compatible)
    The game Hoyle Classic Card Games launched in 1993 works fine, with the Pro Audio drivers.

4.The canyon.mid sound file, when played from Windows 3.x, sound like some instuments are missing

Here is the NVR,CFG and HDD files:

Here is a short capture of PoP game behavior

floppy of PoP1 1.3? Oh, it might be that it expects the original PAS.

Prince of Persia I have fixed on my end now, I accidentally committed a buggy implementation of the timer gates.

For the MIDI, set a Midi Out device - the Pro Audio Spectrum MIDI driver uses both MIDI and OPL at the same time.
