Crackly sound

Is it normal that when I play games I still get "cracks" in the sound now and then. Some games are worse than others. Mario64 almost nothing, Mariokart a little bit, Zelda:OOT still some more ... It also seems like the problem is bigger when there is more action on the screen.
I use shibo's sound plugin which came standard with 1964. I tried other plugins but they just don't work in 1964, don't know why.
I also tried PJ64 and then I also get that cracky sound.

Is there a solution? Or can't this be fixed?

I use oboard sound.

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
AMD AthlonXP 2800+
1024 MB DDR400
Radeon 9600XT
Windows XP

So I guess it's not the system that's too slow... :ermm:

I didnt really felt like creating another Thread since my Problem is somewhat similar.

I've tried that but it kept freezing my comp and sometimes rebooting which is bad.Must be some Computer Issue or some crap.

Which is the best Audio Plugin?

It's probably a tie between jabos and schibo's. You might also wanna give azimers plugins a try if you don't have a fast pc.

well I've tried the latest beta of the Azimer Plugin "I think it was the Azimer" and theres was no sound coming out.

hrm Jabos? I thought those only worked on PJ64.

Hey that sure was the quickest reply I've ever saw.

Jabo's DirectSound is the most accurate IMHO (since it is a Low-Level plugin), and does not crackle (at least it shouldn't) when "sync audio to gameplay" is checked in the audio configuration. It's flawless on my computer with a 3200+. Jabo's needs an RSP.dll to work, and PJ64's RSP.dll is the most compatibile. You shouldn't need to use a fast plugin like schibo's which is innaccurate (since it's based on UltraHLE and is HLE) unless you have a slower computer.

Edit: looks like schibo's would in fact be better for you with a '600 something' processor, Jabo's might be too slow for your comp.

Make sure that you go to plugins then change plugins and select at the bottom rsp emulation plugin. if u still dont get sound go to rsp settings and uncheck send audio lists to audio plugin ( i think )

did you turn off 1964 and then turn it back on? if you didnt turn it off when you moved the rsp it wont show till you turn it off and back on.

Hey guys!

I was having this same problem. I looked around the web for a solution until I found this forum. Thanks to everyone's suggestions and searching this forum, I've found a good configuration with absolutely no crackly sounds so far. Thanks!

My Solution:

Audio: Azimer's Audio v0.40 Beta2
RSP: RSP Emulation Plugin (from Project 64)

For Audio settings, I checked "Enable Audio Fix", "Sync Gameplay to Audio", and "Use v0.21 style Audio" and used the default buffer size.

For RSP settings, I checked send Display Lists to Graphics Plugin and used the "Recompiler" Cpu Core Style.

I used many different configurations with many different plugins and found this one to be top notch. So far, NO crackling. Thanks again! Glad I was able to find such a great Forum.

Wow great Vassago, it really works fine now!
Thank you very much.
Not one crack anumore:) (at least not in Zelda:OOT, haven't tried the others yet)

I also tried Azimer's Audio v0.50 Beta2 but I think the 0.40 version is still a little better. v0.50 can't be configured yet too.

Clement, Jabos RSP+Jabos sound works, but sync to audio doesn't work with 1964, however amizers sync does indeed work...

It's important 2 that the frame skipping is disabled, cause it results in a cracky way sometimes, too.

The sync works for me, no crackles in the notorious for crackling OoT.

I know this is slighty off topic but I played OTT from start to finish on Surreal64 using Azimer's plugin not a single crackle or skip.
