BUG: Sound Problems on WHDLOAD Games or Demos on A1200NG

[Lordberti]

Hi everyone,
I’ve just spent my first few hours with the A1200NG and got OS3.2.3 up and running.
However, I’m running into an issue: whenever I start a WHDLoad game, the sound gets messed up whenever I move the USB mouse.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
CPU boost on and off
JIT on and off
Starting Workbench from a directory
Testing with an older OS3.1.4 installation on a CF card full drive
The result is always the same: as soon as I move the mouse quickly, the sound stutters badly and goes completely out of sync. If I leave the mouse alone, the sound goes back to normal. This happens regardless of whether it’s a game or a demo.

Another Test: WHDLoad Games directly from Amibench have the same issue. On mouse movement sound is stutters, have seen cpu icon goes over 50+ and is yellow. My Testgame is Take EM Out, other Games shows same issue

an now a test from a whdload from the A1200NG Menu with imported whdload game -> same issue

Games with Joystick only no problems sound ok, but directly on mouse movement on games with mouse support

Have you tried a different power supply? I had this with all things WHDLoad until I changed it.

That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that yet. Which power supply would work for it? Do you have a link or a model name?

Hey,

Looks to be a Lenovo 65W power supply - adlx65lc3d

It seems to be the only one I have that doesn't cause the sound issue. Not sure if there's something else at fault, as the other supplies I have are the same spec, just don't work!

Ok, found a Working 60w 5A, same issue. Have testet on Rear Audio and HDMi  wiith Games and Sounds, per Hippoplayer. Sounds Stucks at Mouse Movement. This is definitely a Big Bug.

You'd hope the A600GS being very picky with its power supplies is a bug, not a feature! I'm surprised more people aren't having this issue.

OK , found the issue, not the PSU  ->The Mouse himself is the problem . Have test Logitech G Series wireless ->Sound Crackle, have test Sharkoon Gaming Mouse ->Crackle ->Have Test oldest Mouse that I find ->Microsoft Intellli/Wheel  Mouse Optical USB1.1 ->Works Smooth no sound issues, all plays very well

How strange. I get the problem regardless of keyboards, mice, joysticks etc
