Hi there,
Been really loving the Amibian setup, though i've been getting a very strange sound glitch in games that have periods of silence within them (i.e. no background sounds/music). Sound is coming from the 3.5" jack output.
For instance, I was playing the PD games Squigs and Mr and Mrs, and after about 1-2 seconds of no sound - when I interacted with the game again to trigger a SFX call - there is a nasty split second sound glitch. If the sounds are played constantly or within a 1-2 second window, then no glitch occurs.
It is like the sound driver goes to sleep after 1-2 seconds. There is an audible "pop" sound just around that period (almost like a speaker has been switched off).
I've tried all sorts of combinations with the audio settings, and even the CPU options - but nothing helps. Also tried reducing the volume in the ALSA volume control tool. The glitch becomes more noticeable when you reduce the sample rate.
Any ideas what it might be or anything I might be able to try? If I manage to work out what it is, i'll post the findings back here.
In the end, it was to do with the emulator. Switching the version should fix it, though long term there is still an issue with certain sounds not playing for certain games. IK+ in particular loses the samples on the bonus rounds in uae4arm at present - which I think is due to the emulator needing a "cycle accurate" option included from what i've read on various forums that spoke of similar issues.
