yeah, I think generally increasing the buffer size helps people. For rc5 I increased the default buffer size to 1024 * 3... which has worked in the past to fix things up on most peoples computers.
Unfortunately increasing it over 3*1024 starts to make the sound lag noticable... at least to me. So I think it will have to be a per game, or per user setting until it gets fixed propperly. If someone could lodge a bug report at: http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/ That would be greatly appreciated. I think it's best to fix this properly in SDL_mixer... but for now the work around is to increase the default buffer size on a per computer basis. cheers, On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 8:54 AM, FT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I think there was also an issue of pre-init for any init would wipe out > any settings.
