This means now settings 1024 as the buffer size will make it 2048 on stereo output, and 6144 on 5.1 output.

Thanks for the new functions and about my problem actually the delay was on the some sound effects not the music,I'll try the updated version now.

Edit:Hmm the problem is still here,I even try with disgaea too.It requires too much time tweaking the buffer size and number of buffers to make it work correctly or the sound will be delayed,will skipping and also the game freeze for like a second or half(like loading the sound from the disk...I use ISO).Anyway keep up the good work

Great work! I test some games with latest 1.5.

- FFX - after every voice i have a "clicks" with any output type's.
- Gran Turismo 4 - there where with "DSound" i have noises, with "DSound5.1" i have hissing from subbuffer.
- Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana - perfect with 5.1. Game supports DPLII and sounds just perfect!
- Atelier Iris 2 - same as Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, but voices are missing with any output type.
- Guitar Hero Rock's the 80's - Some noises on bass with 5.1, without 5.1 its perfect.
- Front Mission 4 - fine with any type.
- Disgaea I - sounds perfect with 5.1.
- Disgaea II - same as Disgaea I.

With 1.5 in "Xenosaga I" the cutscene and FMV sound doesn't work - no voices. But when the cutscene or the FMV ends, the sound gets back to normal. This bug appeard in 1.5, it hasn't been in 1.4. Used FMOD and Direct.

**Shadow Lady** · January 2nd, 2008

seem to lose sync in many (if not all) games I tried, happened in Dsound 5.1 Dsound normal and FMOD, and after that i couldnt continue using the game, guess I'm still lacking the pcsx2 revision 265+ to get it working right :P

Hello. I have a minor request to make: Could you please make the name of the plugin (that appears in the configuration screen) a little shorter? I like to keep all of the previous plugins and i cannot see the full name of the plugin (e.g. version 1.5 and version 1.5 with dolby 5.1, but the last part is left out so i cant make a difference between the 2). Thanks!

There's no difference in the name at all. The version with 5.1 output is exactly the same as the previous one, with an extra module for the 5.1 decoding. Anyway I have changed the name a bit to make it shorter, v1.6 will start using it.

Sorry about that.

**GiGaHeRz** · January 2nd, 2008

Public Beta 1.6 is out!
[*] Converted all the output modules into C++ classes, this way it's easier to manage them.
[*] Cleaned up some parts of the code.
[*] Modified the DPLII decoding code to try to improve the quality.
[+] Added an option to change the LFE lowpass crossover frequency.
[+] Added "delayed" Irq calls so they are only called once in each T.
[*] Restored the older decoding function, and partially rewrote it.
The newer decoder function was breaking some games.

NexXxus · January 3rd, 2008

here some bugs in 1.6 wich i not noticed in the alpha version of the 0.9.4 initial release:

- music in FFX/FFX-2 is doubled
- strange menu sounds
- fps are lower and jumping between 40-70 fps in ffx intro while PEOPS SPU2 works constant with 80

**GiGaHeRz** · January 3rd, 2008

FFX menu sounds have always been broken. I don't have, so never tried FFX-2, so I don't know about that one, but I do know FF12 has also some problems with audio, in what I nickname "step-beeping".

My spu2 is NOT threaded, and the processing power required for it varies with the amount of voices being played, so it takes time from the core thread. Also if you are using the speed limit option in the spu2, and the speed limit in the emulator at the same time, you WILL get a highly unstable speed.

Also exams are getting near (they start next week) so I won't be developing so actively from now on.

Good luck in your exams.

And congratulations for your plugin, a lot of games have incredible sound quality now.

Thanks.

hi

i have found settings with asycron sound on my system,the problem the sound was 3-4 sec too slow.--> dualcore p4 @3500 4gb Ram nvidea 8800 gtx pcsx2 build 2.68.my settings soundplugin,buffersize 2625 number of buffers 5,with that settings it runs absolut syncrom on my system.because is usefull for someone with the same problems.

dista_bagus · January 6th, 2008

I want to ask Question about GiGaHeRz SPU2 Driver 1.5(spu2ghz-b1[1].5-prologic2).

*How much value must i fill for Buffer Size & Number of Buffers
so that the game has good sound/music?
*Which best Output Module between DSound,FMOD,ASIO,and XAudio2?
*Which best Interpolation between Nearest,Linear, & Cubic?
*Is DSound 5.1 need SoundCard such as Creative SoundBlaster Audigy Value,
Creative SoundBlaster 5.1,etc to work in Pcsx2?
sorry if i ask too much,Thanks.

JDBoy · January 6th, 2008

I am confident that it is the most perfect, and for many games are of great help

dista_bagus

1) Depends on game.
2) Test it yourself

I'm using DSound and its good.
3) Cubic.
4) No, but your card must be good enough for 5.1.

**rama2** · January 6th, 2008

Better use linear or nearest interpolation. Cubic seems broken here.
Not as interpolation is all that important for PS2 games

As for the buffer size I've found 1024 or 1536 are good values.

gamersat678 · January 7th, 2008

GiGaHeRz just something to look into when you have time after exams. SSE2 or SSSE3? I think it would provide some much needed speed to some while still playing sounds/music. Just a thought.
