When i disable the onboard sound (Realtek HD audio) either in Bios or in Windows, everything works fine (without sound of course). It is not sufficient to disable all sounds in the setup wizard, i really have to deactivate the playback device. Tomorrow i will try with an external USB soundcard.

Well, why didn't you tell us that!?!?!?!?!           Just kidding. Troubleshooting is a process.

At least you have been able to narrow down the issue somewhat.

I just tried with an external USB soundcard, same problem. I give up now.

GameEx has been updated to 14.71. Can you download and install and report back if that resolves your issue?

If not,  please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files.

Thanks!

GameEx Arcade Edition has been updated to 14.71, i don't see that GameEx has also been updated.

As i said before, the problem does not exist in Arcade Edition.

My apologies, I thought that GameEx had been updated to 14.71 as well as the Arcade edition.

In the meantime i have tried several other frontends on this hardware and none of them had such problems.

Hardware, drivers, codecs, ... cannot be the problem, it must be something with GameEx.

So i decided to concentrate on various settings in GameEx and finally found a single setting, which is reproducable responsible for this problem:

If "Seek Preview Videos" under "Tweaks / Performance" is set to No, everything is fine.

Interesting!

 

So all is good now?
