Vice 2.1 audio skipping
Is it normal that every so often in Vice, you can hear audio hiccups/skipping, presumably due to the refresh-rate not being emulated solidly?
I normally use my real C64, but on the odd occasion that I fire up Vice to quickly check out downloaded stuff from csdb, I find it really annoying, especially because it's mainly music that I'm interested in.
I just wondered whether this was considered normal behaviour for listening to and even making music with Vice?
I have an RME Fireface800 soundcard, 3.6 ghz Intel quad core PC with 4 gigs ddr3 ram running Vista64.
Cheeeeeeeers

I'm 100% sure you've set a very low latency buffer setting in your soundcard software. That works fine in Cubase, depending on how many tracks of audio you use. But for other Windows GUI's this will not work. Try setting a higher buffer. |

I just turned on WMM driver in settings->sound settngs and it seems to be totally stable now.
Why didn't I try that already!? *facepalm*. |

Yeah, it is usually a user's fault. That's some of the cases I got bored working in the music business. :P |

User fault?
Surely I should be able to use the Direct X driver?
FYI, when I use the Direct X driver, the audio sounds perfectly fine whether I use a souncard latency of 48 or 1024, so it doesn't seem to be a soundcard latency issue, but it seems to be Vice that is actually skipping frames. The audio isn't glitching, but the Vice framerate is.
This doesn't happen when using the WMM driver though. |

You didn't use the WMM driver, hence a user's fault. |
