Title: Donkey Kong sound was full of pops and crackles now FIXED.
Post by: BobA on May 23, 2011, 05:08:53 pm

I was checking out Donkey Kong on my main computer just to see what the emulated sound is like vrs samples since there has been quite a bit of talk re how it should sound.  To my dismay the sound was full of pops and crackles that I do not get on my bartop or any of my other computers.   They are all using the same setup and MAME 139.  This was really a bugger because my main computer is an i5 and runs most programs very well.

Tried some other versions of MAME and it did not help.  I finally deleted my sound drivers as a last resort as the sound on movies and music was fine.   I let the computer load the drivers again when it discovered the sound device (on the MB) and now Donkey Kong sounds great.   Wish I knew why things changed but now it is fixed. :dunno :dunno
