  • smf fixed 16-bit audio in diagnose.exe for the Sound Blaster 16.
    • The fix replaces the lowest bit of the page with the upper bit of the address, in the case of a 128k DMA.
    • This applies to the southbridge, cs4031, wd7600, ngen, and at devices.
  • smf added "headphones" to ATAPI CD-ROM drives.

    • ataxx: Fixed missing sound channel caused by one DAC not being hooked up and one DAC being hooked up to two addresses.
    • bestbest: Fixed high pitch screech caused by incorrect addressing (two DACs weren't hooked up and two were hooked up to two addresses).
    • cchasm: Fixed static noise generation caused by feeding the same bit to both DACs.
    • cheekyms: Slightly improved sound by implementing sound triggers as 8x1-bit DACs instead of 1x8-bit DAC.
    • galeb: Fixed sound by implementing it according to http://www.deltasoft.com.hr/retro/galebemu.htm & implemented enough of LOAD/SAVE to stop it hanging.
