RealNC Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I assume you installed the audio driver from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsvga2/files/Audio Edit your .vmx file and insert this at the bottom: pciSound.DAC2InterruptsPerSec = "256" pciSound.playBuffer = "64" Instead of 256, you can try other values as well (512, 1024). 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265809-snow-leopard-sound-skipping/#findComment-1736236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Rock! Thanks man!! It works A LOT better!!. Still a skip or too. Is it possible to change the playBuffer too? Also, is there a way to get videos to play? Thank you so much for your help! I'm repling again to just say THANK YOU! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265809-snow-leopard-sound-skipping/#findComment-1736253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealNC Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Is it possible to change the playBuffer too? Yes. Larger values should result in less skips, but will increase latency. Meaning that the more you increase the playBuffer value, the more the sound will lag behind (for example you click on something that produces a sound, but the sound starts playing 1 second later.) Also, is there a way to get videos to play? No idea. The SVGA II thread had something to say about acceleration, but I never tried it (I only use OS X for development, not for watching videos.)
