Windows: Audio distortion when running in the background of other games about devilutionx HOT 11 CLOSED

Did you try changing the sample rate in game to match that of your sound card ?

From what I can tell the issue is with the specific setup not properly handling mixing of audio of two different frequencies. I don't think there is much we can do from our side

Sound Card (I do not know which of these is the sound card)

Can you try switching the Resampler from Speex to SDL and see if that makes a difference.

No, switching to SDL does not change anything.

No, switching to SDL does not change anything.

1. Try disabling audio enhancements for either/both in the Sound Settings in Control Panel in Windows
2. Update your sound card drivers. Check for Windows updates.
3. Do you have a low end system? Perhaps high system resource usage might be the problem, and running multiple games at once is not something you should be doing if so.
4. Try disabling sound hardware acceleration in the Windows Sound Control panel.
5. Check your sound output device sample rate. Perhaps it's set to a rate that may be be causing the issue.

Yes! That's the reason! In Windows, the default value for audio output devices is "24 bits, 44100 Hz". This is the only simple rate where audio problems occur. Any other value of the sample rate, whether it is higher or lower, does not have similar problems. The rest of the tips didn't help. On point 4, I have pretty powerful hardware for several applications. If you are interested in which one, ask in the Discord group DevilutionX or in private messages (@sergei_3000).
