Shane Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi If I launch a game (NeoGeo,Mame,Cps1) from within RetroArch the sound is scratchy/like it is under heavy cpu load . If I launch the same game directly from the emulator (NeoGeo Mame,Cps1) the sound is fine. I just loaded RetroArch version 1.7.0 have tried to change all the audio drivers from within retroarch/Driver/Audio Driver still poor sound i am running launchbox and retroarch on a new laptop corei7 7th gen with windows 10. the audio is fine with the same setup on my desktop machine any help with this would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Are these sound issues present if you just run Retroarch with Launchbox not running ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi thanks for the quick response i have never tried this and i dont know how to sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Open Retroarch then Load Core, load the core you want to test out, Load Content and navigate to a game file for the core you want to test. General rule is to always test your emulators outside of Launchbox to make sure there are no issues with it, it makes troubleshooting much easier.

Shane Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi i loaded the game file straight from Retroarch and the sound is still faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Ok, since you said this was a laptop check the power settings of the laptop and make sure it is set to the performance profile. My first guess is that your laptop is throttling the CPU speed and that is causing Retroarch performance issues. Also turn on the frames per second display in Retroarch and see if your games are running below 60 fps when you encounter these sound issues.

Shane Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi turning the power settings to performance fixed the issue Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Glad it worked, emulation can be very demanding on the CPU especially the more modern and accurate cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
