briwayjones Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Does anybody else get a terrible popping noise when using the Prosystem emulator? It will pop whenever I click on the window to drag it or click on the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 What version of the emu? What version of o/s? Sound processor..? I was just playing with the latest release in Win 10 last night, and works great for me, no issues with sound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 7, Realtek ALC889A I went to check the sound and realized I just had generic windows drivers installed for the sound. I updated to the latest official drivers but it didn't make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try changing the sample rate...Options/ Sound/ Sample Rate...I usually toggle between 44000 and 48000 when the sound start "acting up" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this isn't popping during the playing of a game. The game sound is fine. This is popping when doing anything with the program itself. Moving the program window, accessing the menu etcetera. Whether a ROM is loaded or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just loaded the emu and changed my sound to my built in realtek sound and got no popping sound when no rom was loaded..but when I loaded a rom I got the popping sound....have no idea what is causing it system specs Windows 7 ultimate 64bit realtek built in sound device 16GB RAM Intel i3 4160 3.6GHz processor Intel HD onboard graphics Edited January 19, 2017 by NIKON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SmittyB Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm not at my PC nor am I likely to be able to get my sound specs any time soon but I can say that I get the same issue with my onboard sound. When clicking through menus the audio pops and just having Prosystem open degrades the audio quality of everything on the computer. Muting all audio within the emulator fixes the issue, changing the latency or frequency doesn't. I remember having a similar issue with Elite Dangerous that was a known problem when the sample frequency wasn't set to 44khz in Windows.
