Problem with CyberPPC - FroggerNG - AHI prefs?

[A4000_Mad]

Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to using my PPC. So can someoene kindly look at the attached screengrabs and tell me what the settings should be for the best possible sound when playing AVI., MPEG and Quicktime movies in FroggerNG.WOS?

At the moment the picture playback is great but the sound is rather distorted. To check the actual sound output of my A4000 i have booted into the 'Lotus Turbo II' floppy disk and it sounds perfectly loud and clear when playing this game :-)

When clicking on the 'Music Settings' tab it toggles between Unit 0, Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3 and Music unit. But its all Chinese to me! It looks like I also need to know the correct Paula or Filesave option 8, 14 or 16bit in Mono or Stereo. Gulp! Not at all sure about the 'Advanced' tab?

Oh.. In case it is of any importance I am not using a CDrom in the A4000 at the moment.

Thanx

@ AmigaMance

Thanx. I don't have a sound card. One of the programs Moovid, FroggerNG or AmigaAmp said that AHI was required, but I can't remember which. The frequency is at max 27429 Hz.

Thanx. I hadn't noticed your edit.


@ ravnen

Thanx. Setting Paula 14bit stereo++ frequency to max has improved the sound quality quite a lot for Moovid, FroggerNG.WOS and AmigaAmp. I don't know how to get applications to you use the same unit number as set in ahi, but all applications have been automatically improved with 'Mode Settings' changed to 'Music unit' and Paula 14bit stereo ++.

@ Framiga

Thanx. I can't really notice the difference with Echo and Sound Disabled in 'Advanced settings'. I am indeed using AHI 4.180. Am I correct that Moovid is probably using the 060/50 chip and not the 233Mhz chip? (AmigaAmp and FroggerNG.WOS are definately using the 233Mhz chip under WarpOS)


@ seiya

Thanx. Out of curiosity, why do you suggest reducing the CPU usage limit to 10% or less? Is it because the 233Mhz chip can cope with this task so easily?

Wow! I can use the Cybervision64/3D to get the sound up to 44000? That's great news. I can't find any AHI docs, so any more information about doing that would be much appreciated  :-)

 :-?

The 3rd post above this one says that I can increase to 44100 if I have a graphics card. But the post directly above this one says I will be stuck at 28Khz if I have a graphics card.

(Well at least that is what I think they are saying.... Scratch! Scratch!)


Can someone tell me which is correct please?

Many thanks Flashlab.

I guessed that an Amigan couldn't stand to see another cry  :-)

Will continue to try and get this sorted. Any further help still appreciated or I'll start crying again  :lol:

Just to close the thread and say thanks for your help  :-)

Who needs WinAmp in a PC  :lol:


Does that AmigaAMP look clear or does it look clear  :-D  :-D  :-D
