Description Michael Schaffer 2006-07-06 13:33:39 UTC 
When playing Super Mario War - using SDL_Mixer 1.2.6, there are sound artifacts when using a Creative Soundblaster Audigy LS (SE) sound card (with the sound latest drivers).  These artifacts are also present with the Frozen Bubbles game, which leads us to believe this is an SDL_Mixer issue.

I suppose its actually not a problem of my soundcard itself because it worked fine months ago. According to that assumption it has to be a software problem.

I also reinstalled all my audio drivers (at least all I was able to find), still I wasnt able to solve the problem.

Try grabbing SDL 1.2.10 and 1.2.11 and see if either one works better:

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.11-win32.zip

1.2.11 solves the problem, though it wont help in cases like frozen bubble becaues i cant replace the sdl.dll can i?

I found out that by replacing the sdl.dll in the windows/system32 directory I am able to solve the problem. There will be only difficulties when people do integrate the sdl.dll into their games.

Yes, you can.  SDL 1.2 is binary backwards compatible.  Glad to hear it's fixed!
Comment 8 Markus 2006-07-08 04:27:10 UTC 
Will sdl.dll games in the future require sdl replacement or will their sdl's be fixed so that I and everyone else wont have problems like that?
