GAME: PEPPER'S ADVENTURES IN TIME FORMAT: FLOPPY DISK PUBISHER: SIERRA TEL: 0734 303322 DIGITAL AUDIO PROBLEMS (Gaps or drop outs in the speech) All the audio is 11k or 22k 16-bit. Large amounts of data is required to be read off the disk and passed to the sound card. If you have problems with the sound breaking up or having gaps during play there are a few things you can change to optimize the performance. Before installing, optimize/unfragment your hard disk. A fragmented hard disk can break the audio files into pieces that can't be read fast enough by the system. In the file paitdemo.cfg there is a line: AudioSize = 12k This is the audio buffering size. You can increase this number which will make the system read larger chunks of audio at a time. This should decrease the gaps or drop outs. However, by increasing this number the available memory to run the game will decrease and the amount of memory needed to run the Demo will increase. Experiment with various numbers to find what works best.
