| I would like a command line option or preference that would disable the
initialization/use of DirectSound.
I have two reasons for this:
1. When in a virtual machine, any extra use of the audio device slows down the responsiveness of the screen reader, at least
in VMWare. The standard non-DX audio is
fine, since it only activates when playing a sound. I verified this by loading up MUSHClient 3.85, and I didn't
hear the usual effects that come with multi-channel audio, telling me that the audio device wasn't opened by something else.
2. I have a plugin that uses DirectSound itself to play ogg files. When the world that contains this plugin exits,
and I alt+tab, the client crashes.
I'm guessing this is from both DS instances uninitializing, breaking things. | | Top |

| | Version 4.51 of MUSHclient has a command-line option: "/nodirectsound" that disables DirectSound. |
