Can aswitch.exe be used for always connected/attached usb speakers?

Dave Yeo:
Don't you just need SDDHELP.SYS installed for the SNAP dependency?

Pete:
Hi Dave

I did think of that but it seems SNAP needs to be installed for the SNAP dependency as just having sddhelp.sys loading in config.sys results in:-

J:\GAMES.ECS\SDLVERSIONS\SDLINVADERS>sdlinvaders.exe

SDLInvaders Version 0.8.0

[SNAP_Initialize] : Initializing...

Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device

Other sdl games briefly flash what is probably the above message before closing the window containing the message.

Hi Lars

The SDL package in use is SDL-1.2.15-5.oc00.pentium4.rpm (from netlabs-rel) which provides the sdl120.dll required by dosbox074_2020-11-04.wpi which seems to be the latest release.

No response to my email to Jochen

@Pete: Sorry, I was sick. You got a response ;-)

To clarify: DOSBOX proper only uses SDL. The maintainers have explicitely stated, that they don't want to use newer SDL libs and stay with SDL.
I haven't looked into DOSBOX-X or other forks, yet.

1) @Pete: I need the sources for SDL in order to fix it.
2) @Jochen: I am confused, you mean to say "they don't want to use newer SDL libs and stay with SDL." Correct ?
