If you look at the output with a spectrum analyzer, there is a clear peak at 13877Hz - which indeed is just high enough that some of us will no more hear it. Younger folks will certainly hear - and hate - it :)

Very nice! I tested it on my U64 with dual sid (6581+8580). I hear some high frequency hisses. Maybe they could be cut...

Yeah, I'm definitely hearing the high pitch tone. I don't get it through the TV .. but if I plug headphones in, it's there .. and it's definitely off-putting.

Sorry.. without the high pitch it all sounds fantastic.

I've added as comment 2 links relating to 2 tests I carried out on real hardware. I'm probably wrong but I don't hear any whistling, sorry. Have fun, guys

I can confirm as well that yt recording also gives off strong high pitched tone. No bat hearing needed for this ;) If you need comparison - somewhere around fastest dentist drill tones :D

Hi ChristopherJam. You are probably equipped with bionic ears or you have an ear more sensitive than that of a bat. For me this player sounds very good! Have fun

MP Software, I'm afraid to say your hearing is going - the whine is very prominent on that youtube link you posted. I look forward to listening again when I am older (as it is, I can already happily share a room with my old 1084 that seems silent to me, but makes my young niece and nephew flee the room with their hands over their ears).

It sounds excellent. No appreciable noise.

Good quality! And something for the bats as well.

Many tests on a real machine tell me that the performance is better than many emulators I have tested.
Thanks guys, have fun!

They are noisy because that sort of samples is noisy :D

If the 'smart attach' doesn't work for you, you can try to set your VICE configuration to the factory settings.
GTK3VICE 3.5, 3.6.1, 3.7.1 and 3.8 works but are a little noisy.

Since its regular PCM digis, why even bother with whatever cant play them? Just delete whatever it is :)

Great track for sure, that frequency at 13.9 KHZ a bit of a screecher though ;)

I'll probably update the list of emulators that work best when I release the next song! Stay tuned...

You did something wrong for sure.

From my initial tests it didn't seem to start. I'll try to update the summary as soon as possible. Thanks Ian Coog! :D

What's the meaning of "don't start" in the summaries? It doesn't work for you? or "don't you dare starting it"? =)
It works ok in GTKVice 3.8 here, with smart attach, both 6581 adn 8580. Even less noisy than in Vice 3.2 for me.

Unfortunately, not all emulators play songs correctly. This player is designed to run on a real Commodore 64 equipped with the 6581/8580 audio chip.

The player is made to work best on a real c64 and 6581/8580 audio chip.
