QbasicFAQ_UsingSoundCard
Using a sound card?
Back to QBasic FAQ Main Page.
I haven't been able myself to write a good sound card interface SUB. But there are many available on the Web. Even if I did write a sub for this, I would be using too much work from another programmer; which would make me uncomfortable. Not that I don't trust other people's work, I do... But I prefer to wreak havoc on my own equipment with my own software. I also know how hard it is to hack code and write a nice algorithm, then turn around only to find it used by every schlep and his brother... in rotten programs.
I will be adding a page or pages to allow people to collect code that I think will be of significance. THERE I will put sound card routines.
Another note I should add here: Most of the sound card subs and functions that I have test driven work pretty well. BUT! It is because I have a REAL SoundBlaster card. (AWE 64) When I test on my legacy ProAudio16... well, that's a different story. Most sound cards support Sound Blaster emulation, but they may or may not actually take the same addresses or IRQ's. So SoundBlaster routines, while all and good for SoundBlaster set-ups, may not be for everyone.
