| If so what happens? I recall problems in Blitz3D... |
| ||
| it's a good question, you could test it by disabling your sound card in Device Mangler. |
| ||
| I would assume that there would just be no sound output. ? |

| I would assume that there would just be no sound output. ? The greatest danger in the world is to assume anything about windows. :) |
| ||
| I have a machine without sound and blitzmax works fine on it. |
| ||
| What O/S? |
| ||
| And you are actually loading and playing sounds on the machine without a soundcard? :) |
| ||
| Yes, BlitzMax has a null audio driver specifically for handling such setups. |
| ||
| coooool. IPete2. |
| ||
| Brilliant thanks Skid. I ask because some of the supposedly-casual friendly games actually didn't run on this pc I was building for a friend yesterday (it didn't have a sound card) - but wasn't able to test bmax. |
| ||
| Yeah works fine for me too, I've an old machine with no card in it and has no problems. Would be nice if it did not load the sounds though. |
| ||
| Is there a way to detect when BMax is using the null audio driver? i.e. If NullAudioDriver() then Endif |

| Great to know--my old BlitzBasic projects really didn't like systems that didn't have a sound card, and I'd been kinda-wondering whether or not this was still an issue... |
