Sound

Here you can select if (and how) UAE will provide sound emulation.

WinUAE - Sound

Sound device drop down menu to select which host sound card to use

Sound Emulation

  • Disabled causes UAE not to emulate sound.
  • Disabled, but emulated tries to emulate most of the sound hardware, but doesn't actually output sound.
  • Enabled will emulate all of the sound hardware, and some programs won't work with other settings.

Automatic switching allows switching between sound modes automatically.

Volume

Master volume. Set overall volume between 0% (silent) to 100% (loud).
Paula,CD,AHI Audio, MIDI, Genlock. Set audio from either Paula, direct CD, AHI sound between 0% (silent) to 100% (loud), MIDI or Genlock.

Sound Buffer Size

Sets the size of the sound buffer. If sound output is choppy, this should be changed.

Settings

Channel mode can be set to Mono, Stereo, 4 Channels, 5.1 or 7.1 Channels, or Cloned Stereo for 4, 5.1 or 7.1 speakers.
Stereo Separation can be set to improve stereo sound.
Interpolation improves quality by smoothing calculation results, but needs more computing power.
Frequency higher Frequency and/or Sample Type, the higher the sound quality will be, but the slower the emulation.
Swap channels can be used to swap between channels for Paula, AHI or both types of Sound chipsets.
Stereo delay can be set to improve stereo sound.
Audio Filter allows you to emulate Sound Power LED and can be Always on, Always off or Emulated (for A500 or A1200).

Drivers

You can enable which host sound drivers you can use to ensure sound works such as DirectSound, WASAPI (Windows Audio Session API), OpenAL, PortAudio.
