- Question: Why do some applications designed to use the Soundblaster card
- not work as expected under OS/2's Virtual Dos Machines (VDM)?
-
- Answer: Some applications designed for the Soundblaster and
- Soundblaster Pro experience problems when attempting
- to access more than 1000 interrupts per second to generate
- sound; a current limitation in a VDM. For example, the
- Parrot program provided with the soundblaster card is one
- such application. Applications that use Direct Memory
- Access (DMA) for sound generation will generally have
- better sound performance. The 1000 interrupt per second
- limitation is being addressed by APAR PJ03959.
