Ok, I've been playing through FF8 and no matter what I set the graphics to I get slowdown of the sound when starting a battle, just as my characters are about to appear. It's worse the more enemies are on screen. it also happens if i summon a GF. The graphics aren't slow, just the sound, it's like it's been slowed down about 30%.

***EDIT: After meeting the first boss (on the comm tower) the whole thing, graphics and sound, slow down really badly. ***

My PC specs should easily handle any graphics I want:


Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q8200 2.33 GhZ
Standard memory 4 GB
Memory DDR2-SDRAM
1Tb hard Drive (of which only about a third is used)
ATI Radeon® HD 4650 - 1gb memory (2gb total memory)
Vista Home Premium 64bit.

I'm running Kane's domain's suggestions at the moment for sound, eternal spu 1.4.1

Any idea what I can do to fix this? Do I need a different sound or graphics plugin? I've tried eternal, eternal lite and the built in one, whatever thats called.

I'm using pete's open gl2 for graphics btw.

Cheers

It's just at the start of battles and when something big is happening in a battle, like a summon or a boss fight.
