I know forgotten said on his website that he thinks Creative's drivers suck, and that's why he never built in support for them....but for people who use soundblaster....(which I believe is alot)...this kind of leaves us out in the cold....

(1) VBA internal using 16 bit stereo as playback sound buffer format, so high end sound card support 24-bit, 32-bit and 48-bit playback quality didn't have any advantage to low end sound card like creative PCI 128 or an on-board sound chip like AC97.
(2) VBA using DirectSound as audio playback API, any sound card works fine with DirctSound should work fine with VBA.
(3) Try to turn on "options->emulator->synchronize" option and set "options->frame skip->throttle->no throttle". With sound synchronization turn on, you should get rid off most of sound glitches.
(4) Try my build of VBA smooth download from
http://vbasmooth.emulation64.com/, with the help of Kode54's PCM interpoation module, you can get a more clear audio ouput.
