hello? anyone listening?! some more info:
audacity was having the same exact problem. so, i fooled around with the settings. in Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O (Tab), for Playback it was set to "OSS: /dev/dsp". so, i noticed another option for "OSS: /dev/dsp3". the sound with that setting worked. what also worked was "ALSA: Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350]: ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback (hw:3, 0)". so, now i left it at that option and it works. then, i tried mednafen again. here are the settings in mednafen.cfg pertaining to the sound: ;Select sound driver. sounddriver oss ;Select sound output device. sounddevice /dev/dsp that was the original settings, which didn't work. the mednafen team also says to try default for sounddevice, which didn't work either. then i tried /dev/dsp3 which worked! i thought i finally fixed the problem. but /dev/dsp3 doesn't seem to be consistent. sometimes i have to set it to /dev/dsp1. i don't know why. i don't understand what this means. for amarok, if i select the oss sound engine i cannot choose /dev/dsp3, only /dev/dsp. i have no idea how to change mplayer32 settings. but if i did, i would imagine it would be the same. so, my question is now... what the hell is wrong with /dev/dsp?
