Problems with sound in linux

Post by bwmat »

I recently installed Slackware 10 on an old laptop i have at home and then when i found out that there was a linux zsnes port i promptly installed that. Everything works fine except for the sound, which is is just plain wrong (misses notes, wrong tone ect.) it is also 'laggy'. If i press <esc> to stop the sound keeps on going for about a second and if i speed it up the sound continues sped up for a while after i've stopped too. Here are my specs:

Gateway solo 2500 (http://tinyurl.com/3vjsy)
celeron 400mhz
96 megabytes of ram
NeoMagic NM2160 4mb video card
NeoMagic NMA 2 sound card

i'm using the alsa Yamaha OPL3SA2+ drivers for the sound card, and the sound works almost perfectly for everything else. Anyone know how to fix the problem or know what it is? :?:

Edit 1: okkkkkk...
for some reason i'm using the september 7 WIP even though i though i downloaded the newest one a couple of days ago. I'll try the newest one.

Edit 2: no luck. Same problem, although i think the the sound is a little better, although it may be my imagination.

I'm not trying to be mean.. but you know, there is an edit button next to each of your posts. Use it next time.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?
NSRT here.

That didn't help. The exact same thing happens in 1.36...
