Some SOUND differences

by Dav (no login)


SOUND calls in Qbasic & QB64 produce different results on my pc's.
In QB64 there's always a slight pause either at the beginning or end of using calling SOUND, making it slow & ruin SOUND effects that many Qbasic games use.

Repeating calls show the speed. Run this in both. QB64 is several times slower, and choppy sounding.

'trasporter sound ( from a star trek game)
FOR t = 1 to 1000 STEP 5
SOUND 1000 + t, .05
next

Also, if you make sound call at the beginning of your program, you have to SLEEP 1 first or it won't sound.
