Want 24-bit AHI-audio drivers for OS4!!!!!!!

[Helgis75]

Come on, folks! Time to get the 24-bit AHI-audio drivers ported to AHI for OS4. I am thinking about 24-bit Terratec and Audigy-drivers! Come on! We need them...

Also, OctaMED SoundStudio 2 with AHI-support has to come for the OS4, with full PPC-support, being fully PPC-native! Yeah! Could have this one on the AmigaOne! :-D  :-)  ;-)  :-o  8-)  :oops:  :roll:  ;-)  :idea:  :crazy:

This Thread should really be in software discusions.

It will be nice to have a nice new 24bit ahi audio driver.

Full surround support in AHI would be nice as well. (5.1 or higher).

For those things you said I could kill :-D
Just a matter of contracts with existing software makers(for the Amiga) probably...

Well then, get down to business and start sending e-mails, won't ya? After a certain amount of  :whack:-ing e-mails perhaps it will actually happen?

What you need is OS4!

Good to see that you put a smiley after that!  ;-)

I don't think it's as "easy" as just writing drivers for these cards. If I understood it correctly, the 16 bit barrier is a limit of the AHI system itself, so an upgrade of that or a new system may be necessary to get 24 bit support.

Don't take my word for it, though - I'm not a coder or anything, merely a user with an interest in getting 24bit support. Someone please explain how this works if I'm dead wrong.  :-D

It's only a matter of the drivers, that's it:-)

Right. I wish it was this easy!
Feeding 16-bit audio into the 24-bit drivers ain't going to help a lot, although the 32-bit Hifi modes actually let the drivers do the scaling, so there would be some benefit. For true 24-bit usage, the applications need to change as well if you want higher quality recordings and edit them in 24-bit. A change of the drivers will not solve this by itself.


Kind regards,

I guess it may happen sooner or later:-)

[cyka_delik]

I want it to happen sooner. This would be a very nice thing to have.

I heard it might be here in January is that true?

 :-D

[DaveAE]

I heard it might be here in January is that true?

From who did you hear this?

And for what soundcard actually?
And what software are you going to use with it? ;-)

OS4 or 24 bit AHI drivers?
