Sound Delay

[riksweeney]

Hi,

I've noticed that the sound is out of sync when I'm playing Day Of The Tentacle. For instance, if I open a door, then the sound happens about half a second (maybe not that much) afterwards. Is this behaviour normal or is there a problem with my system?

Thanks

The most common reason for that kind of sound delays seems to be that the sound is played through a daemon like esd or artsd but I don't have any first-hand experience of this myself.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found out what the problem was. In FC5's Soundcard Detection Administration I disabled the software mixing and now all my SDL progs have correctly synched sound.

Hopefully this information will be useful to someone else.
