[comp.windows.ms] Problem with SB PLAYER and DOS full-screen.

) (03/06/91)

Has anyone had any problems with the SoundBlaster program PLAYER while in a
full screen application, such as, DOS?  The music is played VERY slowly.

Yes.  I also had the "Talking Parrot" demo speaking so slowly he sounded
like he was drunk!

Try "upping" the priority of the DOS session or using any of the other
tricks that give more of the system's resources to a specific session
(application).  This has worked well for me when playing games or other
cases where maximum speed is essential.

Yes, I have the same problem.  It seems that PLAYER can't handle full screen
DOS windows.  Hopefully this will be fixed in the next release (if there
is one).
