Fix for glitchy/popping/skipping audio

Post by elvisish »

I've spent a while trying to figure out how to stop skipping, popping, glitchy sounds with scummvm and I think this combination should help most occurances:
  • Turn on VSync (if you have a monitor with GSync or FreeSync it should allow vsync to be turned on without the laggy mouse feel)
  • Add audio_buffer_size=8192 to scummvm.ini (it'll disappear when you run scummvm, but it's still there it's just moved below subtitles)
  • Run with compatibility mode for Windows Vista (7 and 8 might also work)
  • Disable fullscreen optimizations
  • Try your soundcard at 44100khz and/or set scummvm's output_rate to the same.
I'll add more to this list if I come up with any more solutions, but hopefully that'll be useful for anyone who's having any problems.
