K4pp49750 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi. I'm new and looking for a solution regarding the low audio quality of GTA 3 and Vice City. I have click and pop issues in GTA 3 audio in cutscenes and phone calls (side missions). Same thing Vice City although the cutscenes seem to have better audio than in GTA 3. I have a Sound Blaster Z and I use Alchemy to activate EAX 3. The only way I have found is to replace Alchemy with DSOAL + OpenAL Soft and use the bsinc12 resampling filter integrated in OpenAL Soft. Are there any other solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4pp49750 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) To be clearer, without OpenAL Soft, in GTA 3 the audio is distorted in the cutscenes and in in-game dialogue. In GTA Vice City the audio is only distorted in in-game dialogue (the audio of the cutscenes seems to be of better quality than in GTA 3). With OpenAL Soft, distorted audio is resolved in GTA 3 cutscenes and in in-game dialogue audio clicks are less present but not disappeared. Same thing in Vice City. Playing the MP3 and WAV files with Foobar2000, they play correctly, so the two games I think do some sort of low quality resampling which makes the sound quality worse. Since no one has answered me, this is probably an unsolvable problem, but I would like to know if others have low quality audio with clicks and pops as well.
