I've now got it working with himem.sys on my main comp. (My laptop was still using the Dosemu builtin stuff.) I've still got one question though. With the default config, there are very long delays in the sound. Changing $_oss_max_frags = (0x20) to (0x5) seems to fix this. I have this on both my workstation and my laptop. Is this because of a crappy driver/audiochip? Is there any reason the default isn't set lower? Thanks again, Julius
