Buggy SB Live - Fixed

SDL Development
1

It seems the problem with the SB Live, or at least the problem that
affected our game, was that the drivers are somewhat high latency.
Therefore, increasing the mixer chunk_size from 1024 to 3072 solves
the problem (althoug it introduces some latency, of course!)

How about 2048? Some audio drivers require the chunk size to be a power of 2.

See ya!

2048 wasn’t enough and/or didn’t solve the problem, I don’t remember.
4096 did
solve the problem but the latency was unacceptable :frowning:

I’ll try 2048, thanks for the tip.
