Spyro 3 sound problems

[Staaf]

Is there any way to fix the out of sync sound and speech cut off in Spyro 3? I've tried some different plugins but nothing seems to work.

Spyro 3 has no problems with sound for me. I'm using Lewpy's Glide and everything is fine. When I use Pete's D3D or Pete's OpenGL, the sound become out of sync, as you said. I never bothered about it, since I only use Lewpy's plugin. My video card is very slow, and with Pete's plugins I can't get full speed. I'm not sure, but I think that that's when I get out of sync sound.

Hey im having problems with syro 3 also and i have a voodoo 3. Can u post your graphics settings and sound settings?

[Zephon]

Here are my settings. I also use Eternal SPU with the default settings. If you have a Voodoo3, you could also try NextGlide, it runs very fast and has almost no problems at all(in this game).
