Hey, just wondering if there is any patch for vista to clear up the sound and make it well...not so crackly.

thanks!

ps:I know it was done for duke3d

Yeah, the way it was 'done' was to dump vista.
I had a look into this some time back of which I installed Vista Business on another machine and I had no sound problems at all with sw so I could not fix anything.
I think its a 'Vista Premium' issue as they have removed the 'Hardware Acceleration' option in the sound setup.

I have the same problem on Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
And i will not install XP just to play SW again...
I just hope there will come a fix.

I have "Realtek High Definition Audio".

Both SWP and EDuke32 use the jaudiolib but the jaudiolib of SWP needs updating (or replacing).

@ ProAsm
You can look at the EDuke32 source code to see how this problem was solved for Vista. Look for the "is_vista" variable. It's actually a hack, but it works.

The last jf files I got was august 2007 and I dont see a "vista" anywhere.
Anyway thanks for the headsup Hunter_rus, I'll look into it.
