Ave people!

I've just switched back to "Pegasos: Hifi 16 bit Stereo++" mode from "Unit 0: 16 bit Stereo++" - and I've noticed [B]a lot[/B] of sound quality improving. So the question is, what is the problem? Does the Unit 0 give such a bad sound quality at others too? Or have I misconfigured something? :)

Can I listen multiple sounds at one time using this device (like 2 SongPlayers, 2 MPlayers, etc.)?

I have pegasos.audio 4.13 (28.10.04), ahi.device 5.54 (03/29/2005) and the Pegasos II's onboard AC97 sound chip.

If you get the driver working with multiple apps then chances are you have it installed just fine. I use it with the EMU10K driver for the Soundblaster Live cards. I do notice the sound is a low lower. I have to increase the volume to get the levels the same as before I started using it. I am not sure if its the version of AHI or the unit 0 part though. Its done it for the last two versions now as well.

I have same quality with Unit0 as with HiFi16 Bit Stereo++. And i can open mulitple Mplayers, ANR, Songplayer, and the play at same time without problems. And you should get AHI6.0 RC3

I've upgraded to AHI6.0 RC3 (ahi.device 6.2 (04/03/2005)). I've tried it, but there is the same effect. If I select the "Unit 0" on the first page of AHI prefs, the sound quality gets worse. There is a little "ambient noise" (I can hear it with SongPlayer at high volumes, but MPlayer is much worse: frequently I can't hear the movie's own sound from the noise. ). If I set "Pegasos: Hifi 16bit Stereo++" mode, then everything is fine, thre is no noise, but the system freezes, if I want to use AHI in two programs at the same time.

(If I set Volume Scaling in AHI prefs other than "Full volume", the sound is too low even at full volume on my amplifier.)

and what are your settings for Unit 0 ?

Are they OK?

@GK_LKA
i've the same settings, except Frequency, there i've 48000Hz
and i can use Songplayer,AmiNetRadio and Frogger.. at the same time
with onboard sound

Thanks, but you don't understand me. My problem is, that it have choice: good sound quality and one program at the same time, or bad quality and more programs.

I just want to know, that in the second case does everyone hear the noise or is it only my fault?

into the "music unit" list, the "unit 0 hifi.." mode is a fake mode :
it use the settings from "unit 0" list (second item into the cycle
button)
check that your unit 0 settings have a good modeid and enough channels

* Added a new driver, device.audio, that plays sound using one of
AHI's units. And there was much rejoicing.

I dont hear any noise on mine, its just got a lower volume then the standard one is all.

@jah:

Thanks for answering!

I've found the reason of the strange noise: The more channels I set in the Unit 0 settings, the lower will be the sound quality. So I've set it to 3, and now everything goes fine. Thanks again!
