SBEMU VS sonobus

What about FreeDOS?

FreeDOS with SBEmu is really nice for an instant DOS machine on real hardware:

SBEMU is a game changer. You can now have sound-blaster support through emulation. It's not perfect but works surprisingly well (https://github.com/crazii/SBEMU)

DOS emulation is not a very battery-efficient way to play '88-98 games on the go, so projects like these seem to cater to that specific need, letting people run DOS natively. The Toshiba Libretto was a nice, small machine, but finding one in good condition is super hard. Toshiba Portégé was another, but after Pentium-II models, they took away the OPL3 card in favor of something more Windows-friendly (AC97), which doesn't have good DOS drivers. Now there's SBEMU (https://github.com/crazii/SBEMU), which can emulate SB/SBPRO/SB16 on top of newer PCI-based sound cards, including AC97 ones, solving that problem. Now it's possible to have sound on a Pentium-II, III, M and Atom machines running DOS, like a Sony Vaio P.

I am not familiar with the sound chip inside this laptop, but i recently discovered SBEMU, it may not be relevant, but it offers another soundblaster emulation option (for the correct hardware).

Sounds like you could use https://sonobus.net/ and possibly https://vdo.ninja/ but you might have that already covered with jitsi.

Our collaboration software might look something like Sonobus and vdo.ninja for live jamming (if we're close enough), Discord or Whatsapp for chatting, maybe Area for reviewing mix-downs, and Bandlab for stem-sharing (Reaper too, if you've got it). I'm open to all suggestions. I'm also interested in learning how to use something like Sonic Sound Picture to do visualisations, or maybe creating AI generated animations, if deciding to upload anything to YT.

If you're in a 2000km of each other and have good wired connections, Sonobus is absolutely amazing, especially in conjunction with video.ninja.

There's a plugin out there for this. https://sonobus.net

Most of these Android TV boxes can pair with bluetooth speakers, head phones and ear buds, however most mobile phones can't receive audio through bluetooth, they can only transmit it. I think the aux is disabled when bluetooth is used, or maybe it was the opposite. I'm not sure now because I tried to do this a few years ago and gave up because it was easier to just buy a bluetooth headset. Most of the apps I found were not free and were more about pc to mobile. There may be some more apps around now. Most popular apps I considered, were not bluetooth but WiFi network ones like this https://sonobus.net/

This sounds promising: https://sonobus.net/ Multi-user, multi-platform, open-source, completely free.

If you're looking to do this over wi-fi, try Sonobus.
