MazJohn [Mr Arcade] Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 With version 6.4 beta 3, in bigbox mode audio is crackling and seems to get stuck in loops and random glitching sounds when switching between videos and game titles within the menus. continues throughout gameplay sessions until bigbox is shutdown. Anyone else experiencing this with this new beta or have any thoughts? Is there a link where I can download the current or previous beta and downgrade the version without loosing my settings and platforms? Issue only began after updating from previous beta 2. Launch box has been amazing. I'm sure I will be able to get this sorted out otherwise. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev25b Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yeah im getting it too. Also big box sometimes doesn't close fully. I have to go into task manager and kill it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks guys, was the audio crackling new for 6.4-beta-3? That's really strange because we've done nothing to change anything related to sound in Big Box for a long time. What video playback engine are you guys using? VLC or Windows Media Player?

kev25b Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Im using vlc media player. It seems to be playing bits of random videos (1 to 2 second hithes) in the background as you are playing a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the issue began after upgrading to 6.4 beta 3 ..seems to have something to do with the game movies playback specifically when inside bigbox mode. When you have a rom selected then switch to another rom, you randomly hear pops, clicks and short 1 second bursts of audio clips from previously watched videos from other games. You also continue to hear the audio glitches while playing games. To test this, I first re-installed 6.4 beta 3 on top of itself... result was the same issue. Then, I proceed to install and revert back to beta 2- ...and the issue was gone. By the way, I am using the VLC engine for playback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I noticed this last night had to close LB to keep playing my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaview59 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Same issues here, also using VLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Does this persist if you change to WMP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev25b Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 SentaiBrad said Does this persist if you change to WMP? Just tried it, and it seems to be fine with wmp. Must be a vlc problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaview59 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I tried switching to WMP and still had the problem. Wasn't as bad, but it was still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazJohn [Mr Arcade] Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 I tried WMP... no difference here ( same audio issue as with VLC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Is anyone able to create a video of this happening, with both WMP and VLC? This one is proving tough to figure out, as I still haven't replicated it. With VLC it makes some sense but with WMP I'm completely lost.

Jason Carr Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Also, a couple random questions to try and narrow it down. Are you guys using background videos? Using the Skip Game Details option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Does this seem to affect only the video sounds or the sound effects too? Other than the sounds are the videos playing properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
