SNDPLAYSOUND huge delay, help...
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:37 pm
Hi all,
I have a problem with the SndPlaySound funcion: I'm trying to play a 3min.long, uncompressed .wav file, but I get up to 7 seconds of delay after the function return the control to the application and the music starts.
On my quite old Pentium 4/WinXP system runs ok; on my older Pentium 3/Windows Millenium system gives me that problem.
What can I do? I tried to compress the files with another codec, but it didn't resolve. Small files (about 4 or 5 secs. long) usually work fine.
regards,
Giobbi
