[RESOLVED] Stuttering sound on some games

Hi Guys,

Almost got the beast working at 100%, I've noticed a few games that don't come up with error flags are stuttering when it comes to audio (ie batrider as an example).

Some however run no issues. I have scoured the net with countless posts of similar issues, confirmed I dont have -tripplebuffering enabled on the command line but still have issues.

I thought the pc I bought should be able to handle it no problem (specs below)

running mame 146


Any ideas?
