Anyone got a PC with no sound?

Hiya, does anyone have a PC with no sound capability? I ask because I'd like to test some code on such a PC to see if it crashes, and then I can fix it... any takers?

thanks in advance.

diasble the sound card driver can do the job...
or plug it off.

OK I'll try disabling in Task Manager, shoulda thought of that cheerz.

I know going for maximum captiblity is a good thing, but surley there cant be any pc's out there with no sound in use these days?

Some Office PCs have no sound and people still play games on them. I've seen it.

Anyway, whereas BlitPlus returned a null sound if you tried to load a sample and there was no sound card, it appears that BlitzMax does actually return a valid pointer and all the sound code works, without any crashes, which is nice as I don't need any special "detect no sound card code". Unless anyone else has found this to be a problem?

Tried, disabling Sound Device via Device Manager did cause some game crash at start(not Blitz ones, just common games)..... so sound matters ;)

hmm, well my max one seems to be OK which is great. However, further testing may be important at a later date.

No it's fine.

BMax's sound system is designed to not crash out when no sound card is present (see your other thread).

I thought you said you understood FreeAudioAudio.BMX? ;op

No I don't understand it, I just use it :-)
