FF9 Audio. . .

[Mako Eyes]

All of my video problems are fixed (Thanks to Decoy_Octupus, fivefeet8, and Lewpy himself.) All I had to do was (properly) update my Voodoo drivers. Now I need help with sound glitches.

The sound effect made by the swirling battle intro is VERY "scratchy." and the audio during an FMV is "jumpy." And the Moogle Flute sounds like a fog horn. They're not BIG problems, but they get extremely annoying.

Here's my sound configuration:

I have all of the options checked here.

Plugin:
Pete's Dsound Audio Driver 1.15 (not using ePSXe's SPU core because it causes the battle music to screw up and continue even after the battle is over.)

Plugin's configuration:
Volume - medium
XA playing - enabled
Change XA speed - Disabled
Misc - 0: Fast Mode
SPU IRQ - Disabled
Developer Debug Mode - Disabled

Again. . . Any help would be highly appreciated.

try using Eternal Spu 1.30 and make the sound buffer size bigger

Thanks Yeloazndevil987. . . But the only thing that did was lock up my computer.

Try using Eternal SPU Lite version, or use an older version if 1.3 locks up your computer (which it shouldn't).

Doing that fixed the scratchy battle intro problem, but FMV audio is still jumpy. That's really the main thing I want fixed.

Wait, I've got that fixed now. . . All I had to do was disable the SPU IRQ thingy in the main options and enable it in the Plugin's options. Thanks Yeloazndevil987 and Phoenix Flame!

GREAT!! Now ePSXe is optimized for Final Fantasy 9. But I still have a slowdown problem (It gets reeeeally bad in Lindbulm's air-cab stations!) But then again. . . Who ever heard of any emulator for any system running at 100% speed 100% of the time.

Maybe my RAM upgrade will speed it up a bit. . .

A RAM upgrade won't fix it, but a CPU upgrade probably will.
