sound breaking up

I too have the same setup as you... AMD K6 400MHz, 96MB ram,
win 98. I get same fault soun dbreaking up it plays about 1 sec on and off all through song. Have you got onboard sound card by any chance same as me? It could be that, but i have not yet tried a new one in my PC. Let me know how you go on.

This problem turns out to be that Vogone requires so much floating point math processing that it cannot run in real-time on an AMD K6 or K62 processor. This is why CD earlier reported "1 second on and off" playing. The processor was "gulping" blocks of samples, processing and outputting them, then getting the next gulp. It was simply not able to keep up with Vogone's demands for processing power.

The K6 family have a single-pipeline floating point processor technology. The AMD Athelon, and the Intel Pentium, Celeron and Zeon families all have four-pipeline processors.

Vogone 2 uses floating point math to deliver professional quality, and the massive computations just cannot be done on the slower K6 processors.
