i move up this post just to say that i tried other ways to resolve my problem : - i tried to use a sound blaster live instead of using the motherboard integrated chipset - i tried also to increase the amount of ram of my config from 512 to 768 mo. Unfortunatly it didn't solve this problem of crashy sound with specific themes (neither other problems i have with these themes such as video snaphot stop loading and then have to ctrl-alt-suppr to get out of gameex). Therefore, I will use themes that does'nt suffer from these problems. It's a pitty because the themes i liked displayed nice HD images in the background but anyway it's not a big problem to do without it.

Ok i tried what you suggested but it didn't work. I took the default-default theme and changed the theme .wav files by the .wav files of the Acid - brainvision but the buzzy sounds are still there. It doesn't seem it's a problem with the theme .wav but really more an incompatibility between the video preview and the .wav themes whatever this .wav is ; This incompatibility occurs only for some specific themes (see my post above) I tried a few other configurations on the default-default theme. - remove all themes .wav files + activate video preview -> NO buzzy sound - keep the themes .wav files + desacticate preview video (just keep snapshots activated)-> NO buzzy sound - keep the themes .wav files + desactivate preview video in mame + activate preview video for emulated game section (superNES) -> NO buzzy sound in main menu or mame menu . BUZZY sounds in emulated superNES menu. Something is going wrong for this theme when trying to play preview video AND theme .wav files ... Strange because it's not the case for themes like acid-brainvision ... I will try to put a sound blaster live in my pc instead of the motherboard integrated soundchip to see what happens.

Ok , I'll check this thanks

No. I will try to re-download the themes i like (those with the buzzy sound) . but they are all 'default' themes so i guess they have been updated when i switched to v13.26 of gameex two days ago. Sorry but i didn't understand what you mean in your last sentence.

I have tried a few other themes : some have the buzzy sounds: Default - Default Default - Media center Default - Media center - background Default - Media center - V1 Default - arcade VGA - low res Some don't have any buzzy sound: Acidbrain - Vision Default - Alpha blue Default - Media center - background V1 unfortunatly the ones with the buzzy sounds are the one that i prefer because they display for each game on the same screen: - the video snap preview in a box - the marquee of the game - a nice HD fullscreen background of the game all of this i have downloaded on emumovies.

Here they are. PS : what i did is : -click the special BBcode button -choose gameex support file mask -copy past the file from wordpad editor -click ok button. But when going back to the post edition, nothing more than the previous text was displayed. GameEx.ini log_gameex.txt

HI thanks for your help, I have: - updated to version 13.26 of gameex. - reinstalled and updated the shark007 codec pack - reinstalled the drivers of my integrated sound chipset The problem persists. PLease find attached a new video where you can see this noise is just awfully LOUD :-) I have tested outside gameex opening directly the files with Windows media player and vlc player and there is no annoying sound like that. please find the gameex.ini and the logfile also. I hope that can be helpfull. Thanks PS : i included the logfile and .ini file using the special BBcode gameex support file mask (+ copy paste of the files). But I don't know if the insertion worked correctly. gameex_annoying_sound2.wmv

Hi, I'm new on the forum. These last months i've been building a pc dedicated to emulation with gameex and a few emulators (mame, super nes megadrive, N64 and GBA). The pc is connected to a CRT TV via UMSA adaptator. I've got a few problems that i coudn't manage. One problem is about a disturbing buzzy/crashy noise that occurs when a preview video is desplayed when navigating through the menu of gameex. I have attached the video that show the problem. Note that once i am in the mame menu and that i have navigated through a few games (about 10) then the buzzing sound does'nt occur anymore. However it starts again each time i go out of the mame menu and reach the main menu. my config is : Athlon XP 3000+ 2.16 Mhz 512 mo ram Radeon 9200se with CRT_emu drivers for 15 khz Windows XP Gameex 13.20 Vista COdec package 6.5.3 FInal version The preview video are mp4 videos downloaded from emumovies. Thanks for your help gameex annoying sound.wmv
