Crackling/popping Sound?

[hitbyambulance]

just got my GP2X and i noticed that while playing Vektar (the pre-installed version on FW 2.0) with headphones, there are often 'crackles' and 'pops' when there are explosion sound effects playing. does this happen on anyone else's machine?

Payback has horrid sound stuttering and popping (as well as very 'skippy' animation), but i expect that's due to it being in an early state of development.

i don't have an SD card with me, so i can't try out anything else yet.

Don't worry, it's the demo not your gp2x

Ohhh noooo I hope it is not the same crackling poping sound that came from the GP32! I know we all love our GP32 but this is one of the thing I wouldnt like to see on the GP2X 8-(.

I sure never experience this issue. If it just crops up in these programs it must be some code common to them.

Try turning the volume down, maybe it is saturating.

Maybe it's the same issue I had.
If it is, try some games and emus and see if it still does this. (Once you get an SD card that is...)
The movie and music player however didn't have that problem for some strange reason.

Had to send it back in the end.

No, it has happened to me too. I think it is a code issue with sound, not the GP2X/SD card/whatever. It only happened for me with the Vektar demo on the NAND.

Maybe it's your headphones

It was on my GP2X speakers...

Sorry I only read the first post.

Sorry I only read the first post.

nope, it happens on the speakers also. it's just really noticeable with headphones.

The crackling from Payback demo is because the NAND is too slow to stream the music fast enough.
Run it from an SD Card and it works better
