This is a simple program that plays a waveform for sound blaster. It can be 8-bit or 16-bit, mono or stereo, 8kHz, 11kHz, 22kHz, 44kHz.
It's written purely in C and you need OpenWatcom to compile it.
This program is written in C and you need OpenWatcom to compile it. Download OpenWatcom from here for version 2.0 and download "Latest CI Build" from the "Release" section.
You can also use older version of OpenWatcom. It should work with version 1.9. Download from here.
Just run wmake in the root directory. It will create an .exe program
that you can run on DOSBox, 86Box
or a real 80x86 machine.
Before running wmake, you need to set the environment variables for OpenWatcom.
For example, in Windows, you can run the following commands:
> owsetenv.bat
In Linux, you can run the following commands:
$ source owsetenv.sh
Then you can run wmake to compile the program.
$ wmake
The options for compiling using wmake are:
PROC_TYPE- The processor type. It can be8086,80286,80386,80486orPentium.DEBUG- If defined, it will compile with debugging information. Otherwise, it will compile with optimizations. The default is to compile with debugging information.
Just run the program with the name of the file you want to play. The command line is:
sb16.exe -8 | -11 | -22 <filename.raw>
For example:
sb16.exe -8 bmu8_8k.raw
You can use ffmpeg to convert a WAV file to a raw file. For example:
ffmpeg -i input.wav -f u8 -ar 8000 -ac 1 output.raw
or use sox
sox input.wav -r 8000 -c 1 -b 8 output.raw
You can then use teh raw file to play with the program.
The program only plays raw PCM data. It doesn't support WAV files with headers for now
