doomsound.library issue with OS 3.1.4 ROM

[Drewlio77]

Hi,

I have just discovered an incompatibility issue with OS 3.1.4 and the doomsound.library. I was having issues with Strife (would fail to load) and other ADoom ports that use this library. Either the program would not load correctly or the midi music would not play in game. Once I reverted back to the 3.1 ROM (with or without various patches) everything worked again. The issue with the doomsound.library is that it cannot allocate the audio channels for some reason. This is displayed during ADoom's load and initialization sequence.

Since this is the only program or library to date I have had issues with under 3.1.4, I bet the doomsound.library isn't playing by the rules (Amiga OS compliant - audio allocation).

Does anybody know what changes were made in v45.15 of the audio,device? Curious I am.

Gulliver,

Same issue, here. The midi music (using the doomsousnd.library) never plays, only SFX. Strife starts to load but fails when initializing the Music. Everything works fine if I use the 3.1 ROMs.

This what I posted earlier today on another forum:

Update:
     
Out of curiosity, using Remus, I rebuilt the 3.1.4 ROM with the 3.1 ROM audio.device (v37.10). The 3.1.4 ROM's audio.device is v45.15.
Using Blizkick as I always have on my A1200T, I booted with my new "Custom" ROM. As expected, success! The doomsousnd.library is now functional. Everything works as expected.
     
I am not sure what was changed in v45.15 of the audio.device, but since the doomsound.library is the only program or library I have had any audio issues with thus far, I can bet it is
not playing by the rules (Amiga OS Compliant - Audio Allocation Friendly).

Excellent. I will give this a shot with the stock 3.1.4 ROM on my A1200T Blizzard/PPC and report back.

Update:

I downloaded and installed the 060 version of the doomsousnd.library from AmiNet. To make sure, the only copy of the library resides in Libs: 
After a fresh reboot, I tried ADoom, Strife and Rise of the Triad. The midi music works again.

This fix was quick and I am very impressed  to say the least. Great job and Thanks
