More questions about AHI with my Delfina Card

[Matt_H]

When setting the AHI prefs, make sure to use a HiFi stereo++ mode. Increase the frequency to 48000 and the channels to at least 8. In AHI v4, increasing channels will decrease the overall volume - version 6 corrects this.

What are your versions of delfina.library and delfina.audio?

To upgrade to AHI 6, basically just replace the v4 files with the ones from the v6 distribution. I don't think there are any new ones.

EDIT: Also, which Delfina board is it?

@ Crumb

Most Delfina AHI modes don't support 44.1KHz. Only 16, 27.4, 32, and 48.

I recall AmigaAMP being very sensitive to AHI devices already being in use. Is it possible that you've simply got something else blocking the channels?

Or a better idea, is the Delfina being initialized in user-startup? Also look for DelfInit on Aminet as a substitute for the original DelfMem. I've found it to be a little less buggy.

The contents of your Devs:AHI directory are correct. device.audio is designed to be used on AHI's Music Unit to instead point it to use the settings for Unit 0 - it can help with programs that don't specify or allow control over which AHI unit or audiomode to use. Filesave.audio I believe is to write an audio stream to disk. Do you also have DELFINA, PAULA, DEVICE, and FILESAVE in Devs:AudioModes?

Where did you get your install archive? The only stable delfina.library I've found for the Delfina Lite has been 4.16 beta 3 with patch #2. The latest delfina.audio I've found is 4.09. If you can point me to your files I can try them on my system to see if they might be the problem.

The "Delfina Crashed" window is a known bug with that version of the library. The one from Individual Computers was meant for the newer Delfina Flipper and the results you describe are typical when using it with a Delfina Lite.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll get you 4.16b3p#2 - it works great for MP3 decoding and AHI playback, but the it breaks tools like DelfLoad and the level monitors in DelFX.

Ah, here it is. It's delflib_patch_2.lzx

[Matt_H]

I use the NOPATCH and QUIET arguments and it works well. I'm using AHI 6 and delfina.audio 4.09

@ Flashlab & others

delfina.audio 4.09 (15-Sept-99) is in an archive called Delf_User_4.15.lha which I managed to pull from http://www.petsoff.com via the Wayback Machine.

EDIT: Direct link.

Try different slots. If you're using ahi.device 6.6, make sure you're using the rest of the AHI 6 files as well and not mixing and matching between v4 and v6 distributions.

If DelfInit continues to fail, try going back to Delfmem from the original Delfina installation.
