Thanks Paul!

Hello Sigurd

Great video. 

Just to push the test a little bit further.

1)  Does the machine has Audio input? Maybe on the same speaker jack?
Maybe you can try it with "Digital Tape Recorder (https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Digital_Tape_Recorder)" to see if it record from an mic.  (Non USB).
1.1) If you have audio input, why don't test this Win32 (Odin) app (Spectrogram) to see if the Audio input works. I got this video playing with the app (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqUc0VLqok), but on a VM.

2) Do you want to try the Win-OS/2 Audio? Do you have access to the Arca Noae test site to try DTAudio (https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=DTAudio)? But this is experimental and maybe will make your system unstable.

Regards

Hi !

I see you have Multithreading (SMT)  enabled !  (16 threads at OS/2 boot while this AMD proc has 8 cores )
Is it stable for you while it is recommended not using Multithreading (SMT) ?

Remy, I have the same setup. The UEFI does not have a place to turn off SMT on my motherboard. but strangely I do not have issues.

Hi All

@Remy: AMD cpus seems to work fine with their version of HyperThreading called Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) Enabled. Been running with SMT enabled on my AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6 core cpu using 12 "processors" for years - since 2019 - without problems.

@Eugene: On my Desktop system (MSI B450 mainboard) the setting is in BIOS -> Settings -> Advanced -> AMD Overclocking -> Manual CPU Overclocking -> CPU Core Count Control -> SMT Control [Auto] or [Disable]


Regards

Pete
