Hi all,

thanks for the support you always give promptly.

Sorry for the common, probably redundant question. I am working on a PC
streaming applications, a little hardware transmit 800Khz PCM 16 bit
mono stream.
I have woked mainly as is done in the playstram AL sample.

Anyway, i don't understand why, with the generic software, the audio is
processed fast and perfect. With the "generic hardware" , audio decoding
come slower, the audio data get enqued, wholes in the audio are audible
since buffer processing is too much slower comparing to the encoding timing.

many thanks,
Angelo

Hi,

The "Generic Hardware" device uses the same timer update as the "Generic
Software" device (every 25ms) so I'm not sure why there would be much
difference in their ability to keep a single audio stream running.

What soundcard are you using?

Could you log some time-stamps that show what time you queue a new buffer
on the Source, and the time when AL tells you that a buffer has been
processed on that Source?

I do have a newer wrap_oal.dll (component containing the "GH" and "GS"
devices), which does have one particular improvement for getting an
up-to-date Buffers Processed indication from the Source (should make it
more accurate than the "GS" device).   I'll send that to you privately.
