audio.device support in OS4?

[chris]

My mistake about the sound card - I was forgetting that audio.device was a Paula thing and not AHI. Paula is definitely] supported in AmigaOS 4, though.

I'm pretty sure audio.device redirected to AHI in OS4.0, although software that opened audio.device and then hit Paula directly wouldn't redirect without NallePUH.

No idea which AHI unit though - probably Music, although could have been Unit 0.  I'd check all AHI units are set correctly before doing anything else.

NallePUH is only for running on computers that have no Paula.

Actually NallePUH works whether you have a real/emulated Paula chip or not.  It redirects the calls to AHI, as per my previous message.

Well ok, fair enough.

It just seems silly to actually use it on a computer with a Paula.

If you have a sound card, it makes sense to redirect it to that, surely?

That would just waste a huge bunch of CPU cycles for nothing.  It wouldn't sound any different.  It is the same 8-bit samples making the exact same sound.

It would potentially save some dodgy cabling to make the Paula and soundcard output come out of the same speakers.
