What's a good, fast Audio/SPU plugin for ePSXe 1.52? I think I'm running Iori's DirectSound 1.4 with DirectX 9 using a 1.7GHz P4m Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop with a 16MB Radeon Mobility 7500 and a kinda-unimpressive Crystal CS-4205 Sound chip. The setup runs Wipeout 3 in full speed and more at 1024/768 in OpenGL with all options enabled, but in games where heavy MDEC sound is used (Say...The briefings in Colony Wars, the cutscenes from Disney's "Tigger's Honey Hunt", audio briefings from my copy of Macross Digital Missions VF-X2 ISO and some of the sequences in FF7 and such) the game becomes rather choppy. What can cause some of the choppiness and how would I fix it? Can I assume a slow and out-of-date SPU, or perhaps just poor capabilities off my sound chip? Any comments on whether the Audigy PCMCIA cards would improve things by quite abit?
