[Solved] (Linux) libretro-fba: Sound is crackling in SF3 3rd Strike

[Astro_City]

Hi.

Sorry for the bump, but I’m still trying to find what is causing this issue.

Since i only noticed when i made the upgrade from kernel 3.19 to 4.4 ( hwe support ended) and a user was not having any problems in 3.13 i removed everything related to xenial (4.4) and put the kernel 3.13.

dpkg -l | grep -i xenial shows no results.

Following the recomendation of a user i also tried to disable pulseaudio by copying the client.conf to ~/.config/pulse/ and editing the autospawn to no, but it also didn’t work.

Does anybody have some new hints?

Thanks.

I think i found out what the problem is.

It has something to do with the audio_out_rate setting.

If i change this setting in the cfg file ( it’s not possible to change it on the retroarch menu ) to a value greater than 48019, the audio starts to work like it should.

I will do some more tests to see if i can replicate the fix in another computer and will post more later.

I didn’t know at the time, but this issue doesn’t affect just cps3 games, but everything loaded with libretro-fba. I thought that everything apart from cps1 cps2 and neogeo games had to be loaded with libretro-fba. Yeah i know…
