To improve certain video tasks such as filling areas on the screen, or drawing images, certain video-cards use dirty
techniques to handle their task as fast as possible by blocking the entire system, so that they are the one and only dominator.
This is good for fast video, but bad for audio, since during the time that the videocard blocks the system, no audio can be processed !
This gives audio distortions like clicks, gaps, ...
How to disable 'Hard Video Acceleration' (Windows)
Because Windows, and especially Windows 95, suffers from some timing instabilities, Muzys can put itself in a so called "High Priority" mode, so that all realtime activities like MIDI handling and audio creation are done in time.
But the drawback of that is that you cannot work together with other applications.
On Win95, high priority is enabled by default.
If you want Muzys to be cooperative, goto System menu:Technical Preferences and put "Realtime Priority" to normal. This way, you are able to Alt-Tab between applications.
But because of the lower priority, you may also need to increase your audio buffering (System menu:Audio Hardware); that depends on your system.
