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 should really have named this thread "Vice framerate skipping".

No, you should have named it: "Use a real C64, lamer!" |

Seriously, I use my REAL C64's 99% of the time, especially when it comes to making music.
How is hardsid btw? Good?

HardSID is excellent as SID player with Acid64, but the VST is kinda stupid, when it comes to making sounds.
Still, its an ok VST to use in cubase/renoise/sonar etc., but its just not the best design.. |

it still has its problems with timing though, and the SID doesnt run at the exakt pal (nor ntsc, but something in between) frequency. chances are that by now residfp gives you better results. |

Yes, hardsid goes at 1.0 mhz, so all music plays too fast :D not much, but enough so you can see it on a stopwatch.
Anyhow, it wasnt designed to play sids, but to act as a midi/vst instrument. |
