On the drop-down menu on top, "WASAPI: Default Audio Device" is selected.  The other options are "WASAPI: Speakers (High Definition Audio)" and "WASAPI: Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio)".

I try playing around with the other settings.

Can you clarify?  Are the paula voices out of sync with each other?  What exactly is the delay your are experiencing?  A delay when you play your Midi keyboard and the sound is emitted by the Amiga?

If the Paula voices are out of sync with each other then it's not a sound card latency issue and ASIO or WASAPI won't fix it, it's some other problem.  If I can get perfect Paula audio on a system much slower than yours, then you should be able to do it too. What version of WinUAE are you using?

What?  You mean that the audio samples (the four paula voices) even get out of sync with EACH OTHER on playback?  That definitely shouldn't be happening!

I just did a test of Deluxe Music 2.0 in my WinUAE setup and it plays absolutely fine.  No stutter or hesitation even with the tune you suggested.  What version are you using?  If you are using an old version maybe it's simply a WB1.3 / WB3.1 incompatibility.

Note - you not only have to check Wasapi, you have to then select your WASAPI sound output from the dropdown menu at top.  That is, if it's anything like the PortAudio ASIO WinUAE driver.

PS: you also have to do this while the emulation is NOT running in the background (i.e. choose RESTART and then change the settings, the OK to reboot the emulated Amiga).


I'm using Deluxe Music 2.0 on a AOS3.9 build almost identical to the one on my real Amiga 1200 (except it has RTG).  I also had the same issue on the AmigaForever configuration.

As a test I went to the CPU and FPU properties of WinUAE.  I changed CPU Emulation Speed from "Fastest possible, but maintain chipset timing" to "Approximate A500/A1200 cycle-exact".  That fixed the timing issue in Deluxe Music playback.  But it was at the cost of performance of the WinUAE emulation.  I'll try to play around with it more to see if I can get the timing right without sacrificing too much performance.  When I has the "Fastest possible" setting, I got 90x A4000-040 on SysInfo.

I'm using "fastest possible" and I do not have "cycle exact" checked, and my DMusic runs just fine.  I'm using WinUAE 2.5.1 and OS3.9 set for a 68040/JIT enabled.

I could always send you my config file...but unless you're using the exact same version of WinUAE it probably won't work.

I'm using WinUAE 2.3.2, but I am planning to upgrade to the latest release which is 2.5.1 as 2.6.0 is still WIP.  I would definitely like to check out your WinUAE config file.
