Just when I was about ready to go and write my own sound plug-in 'cause nobody else seemed like they were! For once a plug-in that is easy to configure too. Though I really do feel "safer" and more in control when there's at least 1,625 options to tweak with. Sound is practically dead on my system though with anything except loud. But now onto my results.
I went through and played into most of the games I have (which isn't saying much), started out with Chrono Cross. Waited for the intro movie to come up and eep! it started sounding exactly like it was playing with the latest version from Null2!! Needless to say I was extremely unimpressed with that. I went through and tried a few things, toggling on and off the spu irq, but nothing was fixing it. So I tossed it back into the can. Went onto Legend of Dragoon, waited for the intro movie to come up. Comes up just fine but eh? no sound? Tried the same experiments but nothing happened. EXTREMELY extremely unimpressed here. So then I load up my latest savestate. Music was sounding pretty good, the high notes being brought out a bit more than I appreciated but oh well. Went and started fighting a boss that had been pissing me off all night. Middle of the fight I had to exit to receive an icq message came back and the sound was all messed up. Hit del to check my fps and when I hit del again to close it everything went back to sounding wonderfully normal! Which gave me an idea of course. Went back and tried Chrono Cross, sound started out wacky as usual, popped up menu and closed it right quick, and then it started sounding wonderful!! Tried out all the rest of the games, all had sound problems til I did the menu trick then everything sounded right fine. Not quite sure why this problem is showing up but at least I know a fix now. And yes I'm running at full fps. So those are my results with the plug-in, congratulations to everyone that read this far and kisses to all my fans! ^,^
