Hi all

I just got a cool new SB Live! Value card. How do I set it up to work with MOS? Is the 3d sound supported. Any and all help is welcome!

magnetic

plz be verbose and specific

Hi magnetic, that's the same as mine. You need to download the latest beta of AHI. Then you simply select EMUK101 (or whatever) from the Audio Options. I don't know what your speaker setup is, you need to play with the settings, sorry I can't be more specific but hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the latest AHI MOS beat 5.11. I have the eum10k modes in my system audio prefs but cant seem to get sound..

What are your setttings?

What did you install from the AHI package in AMbient?

I have 2 AHI icons and settings in my System prefs is this normal?


1 says AHI AHI
the other one says AHI AUDIO

Please help.

I don't use them.
If you copy the emu10k files in the correct directory you can config your sblive directly in the ahi panel in ambient.

I suppose you can only add the emu10k files but yesterdaty I copy all the ahi-morphos compressed archive and I have no problem.

I don't know how the sblive is better than internal audio chipset but it has a good out line and you can hear music by your headphones with a "strong" volume.

Bye.

@magnetic

As long as you have AHI 5.11 and "emu10kx.audio" in your mossys/devs/ahi
drawer it will work fine (but you should only have one "AHI" prefs in your
system prefs, you might have to remove and reinstall AHI 5.11 by hand).

After you have that sorted out, make sure to go to "AHI" system prefs,
and set "emu10kx" as the driver for *each unit*, if you want to use
the SB for all audio output.

Good luck, dude!

Thanks for your response guys. Can you please be more specific about how to "install" AHI 5.11 by hand? I think I somehow messed up my MOS AHI setup...

OK, first, go to your

sys:morphos/prefs/mprefs drawer,

You'll notice that these files correspond to the different
settings options in your main "System" prefs.

Get rid of any extra "audio" or "ahi" pref files; the only one
you need for AHI settings is the "audio.mprefs" file (41216 bytes).

That should clear up the extra/unneeded garbage in your main "System"
prefs.

Now, here's a brief description on installing AHI by hand
(I do expect you to fill in the blanks:-P)

Assuming we're starting from a freshly unarchived AHI 5.11 package in
RAM: (or wherever)

From the "L" drawer, file "ahi-handler" goes in sys:morphos/l

From the "C" drawer, "addaudiomodes" in sys:morphos/c

From the "Devs" drawer, file "ahi.device" goes in sys:morphos/devs

the contents of "dosdrivers" go in sys:morphos/devs/dosrivers, "AHI"
in sys:morphos/devs/AHI......etc. Copy over any 'older' files with the
newer ones found in the AHI package.

Specifically, you need "EMU10KX" file in sys:morphos/devs/audiomodes,
and "emu10kx.audio" in sys:morphos/devs/audio for your SB card.

You can safely ignore the "prefs" drawer, since we already handled that.

Hopefully all should work now.

Hello,

which mixer is usable for the
Soundblaster-Live (Emu10k)?

I heard, the Amithlon-Mixer (>= v2.x) is usable, but
don't work at my Peg1+SB-Live!

Bye MaSch

Allright!

Thank you so much for your detailed response. I really appreciate this. It works now! I would like to know what sound mixer works too. I am excited. Even though peg onboard sound is good its nice to off load sound off the psu. Now I'll get a sweet 4.1 speaker setup. If anyone has recommendations It would be nice.

@-D-

Thanks for the clear instructions. I'm now using my "old"
SoundBlaster Live!

------------------------------------------------

A working audio mixer would be very nice though :D

Ok i had to try it out myself.
Got down in the Basement and searched my "old" parts.
The Soundblaster works fine. Could it be that the
sound is much better than from the integrated Ac97
Codec?? I also noticed that scrolling in Voyager while
listening to AmiNetRadior makes no more annoying
noise. Ok this issue should be fixed in the new
Voyager version anyway.
