PEOPS DSound 1.09 - repair - Page 26

Having an issue with your plugin (which i'd love to give it a shot) if i set it to anything other then the XP recommended, i get a failure to start XAudio2 message (i am on Win7) the X-Audio2 works perfect in PCSX2, but not in ePSXe, is there something i am goofing up?

You might need to install the direct files from Microsoft (here - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=6871 ) and read this - http://www.programmerfish.com/how-to...s-7-and-vista/

Link takes me to a download for a PP Pres and a .wma file.

Have the latest drivers for my card, updated to the latest beta, still no luck

Genius_GZA · January 11th, 2012, 23:35

hey, anyone experiencing a very slight sound "pause" every few minutes of gameplay? For some reason i get that in every game - like it's recaching the audio, or something? I don't think it latency dependant though, any ideas? Other then that i get perfect audio with no buzz or anything..

Same here. I'd say just stick with eternal 1.41. But honestly, you might want to try the Xebra emulator on run 1 mode, since that has virtually flawless compatibility from what I have heard.

the_randomizer · January 12th, 2012, 01:20

Try the version from June 2011 (I think SVN 16 or 17..?)

Try this version, I never hear any popping or crackling noise - http://www.mediafire.com/?ej6l9vp7vm7ib8t

It's "older" but so far seems to be the most stable.

Guessing this plugin is dead then? Shame.. It was shaping up to be amazing

Madmab · April 8th, 2012, 10:15

Damn... always one or two steps behind on things.

Recently implemented this sound engine in pcsxbox as an experiment (about two weeks ago). I didnt have much time to test but a small handful of games. Noticed sound improvements in the following titles...

FF7 - beta tester says the weapon effects are fantastic!
Konami Arcade - emulated games actually have music now.
Xenogears - sounds way better to me.
Vandal Heart - same as Xeno (noticeably better to me).

However the beta tester reported FF8 and FF9 having a few issues.. my last release he rated

FF8 the official SPU (1.9) as 8/10 and SPU (1.10) as 7.5/10. Sound Timer original. End of battle music a little garbled. Sound garbled when entering the world map.

FF9 the official SPU (1.9) as 10/10 and SPU (1.10) as 6/10. Mostly music issues. Like when entering a battle and some of the weapon sounds (some are out, some ok).

Didn't know if these similarities exist when running this plugin with pcsx-reloaded on a PC. I'm gonna try to get him to try those and let me know.

Anywho thanks for a rather interesting update. I have not quite decided what I'm gonna do with it yet. But the stuff that sounds fantastic, does just that.

But I can understand the frustrations in dealing with psx emulation. It's like.. fix one thing, break a few others..

Damned536 · April 9th, 2012, 00:04

If you want an accurate PSX sound core, I would go for the XEBRA emulator. The only problems I have seen to run across with it are some games with talking in them, like Metal Gear Solid, where the sound will popp a little bit.

the_randomizer · April 9th, 2012, 04:15

Xebra definitely has the most accurate sound emulation.

I thought XEBRA was closed source?

Damned536 · April 10th, 2012, 07:18

Well yeah, it is, so we can't verify if it is accurate by emulating the PSX sound core correctly or whether it uses game hacks to get its accuracy, but it is nearly perfect. If only the audio did not popp during talking in Metal Gear Solid and such, it would be virtually flawless.

Madmab · April 10th, 2012, 08:00

Yeah so for pcsxbox (xbox version of pcsx) I'm pretty much stuck with sound plugins that have open source....

joe_devore · June 26th, 2012, 05:15

Found via Google maybe...
it was/is nice to see there are some yet still in love with PSX to keep coding and improving the experience ^_^

I've played King's Field 1 (US) (had sound issues bad noise via save states loading from a normal memory card save was ok for a while, was using something older
updated last month or so (got back into playing some psx games via emulator for the first time ^_^)
to Peops - Dsound SPU (v1.9)...
issue existed in the

using ePSXe right now last version available... (v1.70) I haven't tried out that Shark update yet.... will have to look into it....

planing to try out ePSXe shark... along with this updated spu plugin...

ps: I'm now playing King's Field 2 via cue/bin

Hellbringer616 · July 12th, 2012, 16:06

I'm sure i should start somewhere else but, Could someone link me to some white papers and the SVN so i can take a crack at improving this? Or at least so i can get xaudio to work on my PC....

Zero coding experience by the way :P

KrossX · July 12th, 2012, 16:23

Source is included I think, as for white papers... well... ehem... to just try and work around XAudio then? Here XAudio2 Programming Guide
