ePSXe: Resident Evil 3 - Crap Sound

[tye stik]

When I play Resident Evil 3: Nemisis on my ePSXe I get screwy sound when the people talk during the 'sprite talking scenes'. The sound works find everwhere else, including CG movies, gameplay, its just when the chick is narrating or when the people talk to eachother in the game. This dosen't happen with any other game that I own.

These are my specs:


<u>ePSXe 160</u>

Sound cards:
P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9

ePSXs SPU core 1.5.2

I hope I can get it to work damn, it either starts the sentence and ends ubruptly (The monst....., We escap......., Oh Jesus Chri.......) or the talking sounds like a bad radio signal.

Get a (drive) plugin that allows for reading subchannel data, maybe try tweaking some settings like lowering the gfx detail. Castlevania SOTN has an issue sort of like this, couldn't hear voices until I enabled reading subchannel data.

Is there any plugin that you can suggest? My sound plugin dosen't say anything about reading the sub-channel data....

(by the way I meant 'plugin', not card, in my above post)

I'm talking about the CD plugin system. Pete's allows for this iirc, it's been a while since i fired up epsxe

yeah, I'm using an ISO so I don't think my CD plugins will help me any :P

I just booted up Resident Evil 2 and it has the exact same problem... I have both the .cue and .sub files. I can't even play these games with that crap, hopefully someone can help me... you can't have a survival horror game that blasts out deafening sprite talk scenes.

I guess I'll keep trying different sound plugins I guess.

Um, I'm trying to delete this extra post that I put in, but uh, I don't know how so I'm rewritting this message to say that.... lol :huh:

Try using the Eternal SPU. I've found it to be much better than P.E.Op.S.

wtf?

thanks for the help 'fivefeet8', I think it's gonna work this time... your down syndrome has finally come in handy, eh?

Yeah that Eternal plugin makes the little blips of sound that I get alot clearer... but they're still just blips. On my previous plugin I could get it to produce the whole dialog, but it was wretched sound quality... like unplayable.

It appears it wasn't subchannel issues that was my problem after all, but that using PEOPS DSound Audio 1.8 was what fixed my problem.

I have always had a problem with Resident Evil games and epsxe. I just used a different emulator like PSXeven and it worked fine.
