EAX support?
michaeljhkim opened this issue · comments
So I know that vmware supports eax because it emulates sb128, but is it possible on virtualbox? I feel this is an important question because a lot of games stand to benefit from eax support.
There is a VirtualBox package providing MPU401, OPL3 and AWE32: https://git.javispedro.com/cgit/vmusic.git/about/
As for EAX - agree it would be a good addition. Potentially useful code:
- AudioPCI/SB128 is emulated also by QEMU, PCem, 86Box (which are open source in contrast with VMware)
- Linux Live! and Audigy drivers
- Illumos Live! and Audigy drivers: code
- EAX wrappers, etc. joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/3597, kcat/dsoal#36
- wrapper in the guest - kcat/dsoal#22
- can somehow DirectSound/EAX/I3DL2, A3D and OpenAL be redirected to the host, where you can install the regular DSOAL and OpenAL-Soft?
