Auido Crackle on 'Bsnes cores'

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Have never had any type of audio issues in the past but have started to notice audio ‘crackles’ when using bsnes cores, is this a know issue at all with recent builds?

#2

Bsnes is a ‘high-end’ emulator due to its accuracy. Some games are more demanding than others. Are you staying at 60 fps?

#3

Also tired Genesis-plus-gx and that has the same issue. Yeah fps seems to sick around 59.3 & 59.6 for bsnes. Should mention that i now have a G-Sync monitor and never ran into this issue before having this monitor, could the 2 be linked?

Also my PC is easily up to the task of running bsnes, so doubt its that

For Gsync monitors, disable vsync in settings > video and turn on audio sync (if it’s not on already) in settings > audio. You should be able to change audio_rate_control to “false” in your retroarch.cfg, as well. Let me know if that helps with the crackles.

EDIT: also make sure ‘throttle menu framerate’ setting is on in settings > frame throttle, or else your menu may crank up to 144 fps, which makes it hard to control.

#5

Yeah i have vsync disabled already and audio sync is on by default.

I’ll change audio_rate_control to ‘false’ and see if that helps

#6

Sadly it still happens

#7

If you have Hard GPU Sync ON try turning it OFF or change the “hard GPU sync frames” to 1 or more.

This github issue is pretty much everything we know about RetroArch and Gsync:
