I tried jukebox.py on my slow Windows 98 computer with DirectX 8 and it sounded fine. I also altered waveIt to initialize SDL like Pygame would:
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_TIMER | SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE); SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_AUDIO); This also sounds fine on the XP machine. I also reversed the order of video/audio initialization. So that leaves these three factors: Windows XP/Vista, Pygame 1.8 and DirectX 9. I am hesitant to install DirectX 9 on my Windows 98 box in case it breaks everything and I am unable to revert back to DirectX 8. So I am out or ideas for the moment.
