Blood1 16 bit sound?

[Corvin]

Has anyone successfully played a 16bit raw sound in Blood1?

I was able to do 16bit at 22050 sample rate but higher(such as 44100) it wouldn't play correctly.
Don't know if its a bug in Blood or DosBox EMU yet.

I was under the impression that dos box had VDM sound built in? *shrugs* It sould be able to handle anything blood throws at it sound wise.

Correction, a 5 minute visit to Vogons straightened me out. DosBox does not contain or depend upon VDMsound.

On my old PC, Blood plays 16 bit sound just fine.

You might want to avoid having more than eight voices tho.

I'm talking about 16 raw data sounds, not the settings for a sound card in the blood.cfg


Well as far as testing, 16 bit is not working correctly, maybe my raw data. It seems as if I can not find the correct FORMAT for the raw.

Next I'm going to test 8bit at 44100 sample rate since all Blood sounds are 22050 and under.

okay

save your RAW file as
8-bit unsigned PCM mono 44100 sample rate

and all your new sounds will well sound better. See BME's Blood site for more details: http://www.baitd.bloodgame.ru/bme.htm
That's where I got started.


as far as 16 bit sound, still up in the air, theres definatly a bug somewhere, be it Blood's mixer or DOSBox EMU...
