Forgot to mention, I also tried it with both env vars set and the delay is
still there.

I removed SDL_AUDIODRIVER and then set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx, but the
crackling and wierdness came back.

I wonder if it could also be related to a mismatch between audio driver and
video driver?
does SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx also fix things?

I tried setting the env var SDL_AUDIODRIVER=waveout as you mentioned in
your previous email. Yes it does clear up the audio in Pygame. I'm
still new to Pygame/SDL,
so correct me if I'm wrong: Setting this variable to wavout causes
Pygame Mixer
to use software audio instead of hardware?
While the crackling noise is gone, there is a slight delay now in
bouncesound.py (Chap 10)
when the ball hits the ground/wall and the bounce sound plays.
Do you have Pygame 1.8 on your Win98 machine?
Let me know if I can help or anything I can do. Just keep in mind that
I'm new
to Python/Pygame; I'm starting to play around with Boost.Python.

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.

Thanks. I tried the jukebox.py example. It sounded awful (getout.ogg).
Python 2.5
Pygame 1.8.1pre
XP Professional (51., Build 2600)
Dell DM051
Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A05
Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)
1014MB RAM
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family video (Internal) 224.0 MB
SigmaTel Audio
It crackled and played at half-speed. Changing the audio driver to
waveout
"set
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=waveout" cleared everything up. Could it be a DirectX 9
problem
(not properly DirectX 5 compatible). I will try this on my Windows 98
Dell
with
DirectX 8 for comparison.
One thing I noted, Pygame initializes the video and audio separately
while
all
the C/C++ programs I have seen so far do everthing in the call to
SDL_Init. I
will try instializing SDL subsystems instead to see what happens.
