question about BufferMsecs in SoundPlayer

Hi Everyone, 

Thanks John and Andreas for all your help. To answer your 
questions about my system. On my NT box (also boots to Win 95)
I have an AMI dual processor motherboard with two Pentium
Pro 200 chips, 128MB of RAM, a CreativeLabs AWE64 sound
card and also the harddrive I use for Squeak is fairly new
with a fast seek time. Therefore, I do not think the hardware
is a problem.

I did set UseReverb := false and also used the "remark out"
method. I still had to do the:

 SoundPlayer startUp; stopReverb.

to stop the reverb. I tried your suggestion of resetting the 
sampling rate and I got an error message when I tried to run the
workspace. I still cannot get all the voices to play clearly 
with NT. I kind of thought playing with the Buffer to fix this
problem might be a waste of time so thanks for verifying that. 
I did try changing the sound card settings with NT to no avail. 

Here is the GOOD news. Even though I was having the same problem 
with Win95, I reset the software for my sound card. The new settings
fixed the problem and the sound from Squeak is really good. I will 
just work on my sound project with Win95 and wait for 2.0 to continue 
working with sound using NT. 

I sort of ran into this little adventure on my way to doing 
something else. I suppose I should get back to the major task at
hand.

Thanks again.

Cindy Nelson
