Sound problem
Posted: Sat May 02, 2020 3:02 pm
Hello folks,
On Windows 10 the snes9x will sometimes play back sounds as crackly or with poor quality and distorted. This almost always occurs after leaving the window with the game running in a minimized state for 30 minutes or more.
Usually I can toggle the full screen by pressing the Alt and Enter buttons rapidly and this will resolve what is, I assume, some kind of syncing issue (because the snes9x is a jukebox :/ haha). Recently, however, this wasn't doing the trick so I tried closing and restarting, but that didn't work either, along with resetting all the emulator options to default (I had it overclocking on the low setting).
SO, I ran the snes9x-64 application, opened the game I was playing (Secret of Mana, orig. ver.) and the sound problem was resolved. Then, I ran the non-64 bit snes9x application, and it also had resolved the sound issue. This is probably only an issue with the PC, not the snes9x itself, I believe, but every little bit helps when you're re-tooling things.
