If you have a question you would like to ask me, check this file first
so that I don't have to answer to so many similar questions.

Q: When using reverbs I get a lot of cracks in the voice. What is
the problem?
A: Your computer doesn't enough power to handle the reverb effect.
Lower the sampling rate or use mono mode (if you were using
stereo mode). Also you can try to simplify the reverbs by
reducing the number of echos.


Q: Are digital effects available on GUS?
A: No. This is because GUS does all the sound mixing with its
processor and DMP cannot post process the digital sound data
to produce effects.


Q: Are you going to add support for XM?
A: Yes, but as the format is very complex and different than the

other common formats, it's going to take awhile.


Q: DMP doesn't seem to work under OS/2?
A: True, old OS/2 doesn't support the DMA mode DMP uses to transfer
data. Try the new OS/2 Warp.


Q: I have Internet mail access. How can I get new DMP most easily?
A: By joining the DMP mailing list. Just send a message to
[email protected] with following message body

subscribe DMP-LIST Your Name

After joining, you will receive new DMP releases right into
your own mailbox. You also need uudecode utility to extract
DMP.

Q: I can't handle the size of the mail from DMP-LIST. Is there any
other way to get information on DMP updates?
A: You can also join another DMP list, called DMP-talk. This list
is intended for discussion about DMP and it is also used for
notifying about new DMP releases.


Q: I'm having troubles with my PAS16. The music is just plain
static, what's going wrong?
A: Problem here is that, for some odd reason, DMP transfers one
single byte before actual music transfer starts, leading to
noise, because the bytes are reversed in 16-bit data. This only
happens with 8-bit DMA, so you should try 16-bit DMA channels
5,6 or 7.

Q: EMS is great bu when are you going to add XMS support?
A: To DMP, never! Accessing XMS from a real mode program is way too
slow to use in an application like DMP. Use DMP/32, player using
Watcom C/C++, which runs in 386 protected mode and can access
all the memory you have.
