Skipping audio

I downloaded Project64 and a few ROMs a few hours ago, and attempted to play. Initially, video worked flawlessly, but I had no audio. I consulted the FAQs on pj64-emu.org and switched to the zilmar audio plugin and disabled RSP audio lists to audio plugin. This gave me audio, albiet skipping audio. I then read deeper into the FAQs and found that my problem is well documented and that a thread on this forum had been established to deal with it. I followed the link and was sent to a dead end page with no information on it.

I then came here and searched with a few different keywords. Much of the information I found was over 5 years old and I feel, is no longer pertinent.

Here is my system configuration
Windows XP home
Epox EP-9NPA+ Ultra
2 gigs DDR g.skill at lowest achievable stable timings (I forget the actual numbers right now)
Opteron 165 OCed to 2.5ghz
MSI ATI X1600PRO
Creative EMU-0404 Pro sound card (can only handle PCM streams via Kernel streaming or K-Mixer at a minimum sampling rate of 44.1khz)
Plenty of free HD space (and I mean plenty)
Project64 v1.6
Drivers updated as of last month

Would anyone be able to provide some help?

Thank you.

I seem to have the best luck with the Zilmar audio plugin. Buffer size has a dirrect effect on the frequency of the interruptions in sound. The lower the buffer size, the more interruptions per second.

I had "send Audio Lists to AUdio Plugin" unchecked with Jabos plugin to no effect. I Also tried Azimers plugin. I got no audio whatsoever.
