Part of OrgMaker Notes
Because OrgMaker uses DirectSound, the Audio Performance settings in Windows affect the sounds OrgMaker makes.
After changing the Audio Performance settings, close and re-open OrgMaker for it to use the new settings.
On my integrated sound card (SoundMAX), I noticed the following effects.
| Hardware acceleration | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None (Emulation only) | Basic | Standard | Full | ||
| Sample rate conversion quality | Best | timing jitter, some distortion | slightly out of tune | some notes don't play | some notes don't play |
| Improved | timing jitter, some distortion | slightly out of tune | some notes don't play | some notes don't play | |
| Good (Standard) | timing jitter, some distortion | good | some notes don't play | some notes don't play | |
On my add-in sound card (Aureal Vortex), I noticed similar results.
| Hardware acceleration | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None (Emulation only) | Basic | Standard | Full | ||
| Sample rate conversion quality | Best | timing jitter, some distortion | slightly out of tune | some distortion | some distortion |
| Improved | timing jitter, some distortion | slightly out of tune | some distortion | some distortion | |
| Good (Standard) | timing jitter, some distortion | good | some distortion | some distortion | |
Based on these results, I prefer to use OrgMaker with Basic hardware acceleration and Good (Standard) sample rate conversion quality.
