got another problem here. did a search on google and i'm the only one in the world with this dilemma...sound blaster 16 issue. had 98, did a full install of xp pro, and now i get crackling sound. of course it's more exaggerated in games like the mk's and nba jam's etc.. but it also crackles when i play an mp3 in windows media player with animations turned on. what's up with that? let me say this: i have no problems when using my ecs mobo onboard sound. that's right - ecs - no crackling! shouldn't it be the other way around? i challenge any one of you to solve my problems

Get a new sound card...
Problem solved. ;)
Honestly, I don't know...
I just wanted to by funny, but that didn't work either did it... :-\

well i have the same problem, and its basically cuz my system isnt fast enough. i have an old sound card as well. but ive found that what does help A LITTLE....is to go into the mame configuration settings file in your main mame folder, and change the sound sample rate to "22050"...thats under "mame CORE sound options" just scroll down till you find it. the number there should be 44100 by default, just change it to the above number and that should fix some games.
but for a more permanent solution, upgrade your pc's processor and ram as well as get a good sound card. you can get a sound blaster audigy gamer off newegg.com for around 60 bucks or so i think. maybe cheaper. but check that out, and it should fix your problems....otherwise just settle for what you have for now...which is what im doing because of lack of money!!!!
