It's like a low-pass filter is used, and actually the high frequencies are noisy. I would say that my soundcard is incredibly full of static, if I did not know that dosemu was emulating it before passing input to the real hardware. My processor is an Intel Centrino 1600 Mhz, I have 512MB of RAM. Has somebody got any suggestion? I have already read http://osdir.com/ml/linux.msdos.general/2002-11/msg00120.html, setting hogthreshold to 0 did help a bit in game smoothness but nothing changed about the static noise which permeates all music. I have tried reproducing an MP3 with mpxplay and it plays correctly. Thank you, -- Daniele C.
