Sound problem.

[Thalassius]

Hi!

I tried the latest version at Win 10 x64 Pro.

Everything worked fine, except sound.
The sound is crackling - sluggish.

I tried lowering the samplerate, but it didn't help.

I changed the sound mame.ini setting, from default to xaudio2 and wasapi.
The later improved the situation, but the sound is still a bit problematic.

Any other options?
Suggestions?

TIA!!!

PS. Where is located the documentation, describing the above mentioned settings?
I couldn't locate it.

To be specific: with which games (or systems) are you experiencing this behavior ? I ask this because the only legitimate reason that I know of for this to be happening, is because in some cases the emulation can be more demanding than the hardware (CPU) can handle. This is especially apparent in that case, because the (too slow running emulation) will cause the sound to run to slow, resulting in 'stuttering'.

In other words: it may be the case that for specific games, you will need a better CPU to run it at full speed. Please do note that for some games it is even the case that no current CPU's can run the emulation at full speed, so getting a new CPU will not help you in that case.

I have this problem, at all games.
Simple ROMs, from from the past (eg. the free ones).
No HD images or such.
