Topic: Fbneo crashes when sound is disabled

[Renaissance]

I am not an emulator expert. I just have a few games. I formerly used Fbalpha but it crashes on my new machine with Windows 11. FBneo works like a charm, except I cannot disable the sound. If I select the "Sound disabled" option under the Audio tab, I get the error that is attached.


The text of the error reads:

FinalBurn Neo v1.0.0.02 fatal exception report (Wed Dec 07 08:07:29 2022

And then it has some more text. It says that the module where the error happened could not be found. It is worth noting that I have a 64 bit operating system.

Anyone have an idea what is causing this or how to fix it?

[dink]

After disabling the sound, can you exit and restart?  I know there's an issue where it would crash if a game were loaded directly after disabling sound without restarting first - this one is tough to fix, which is why it never was.

Thank you. I just tried that. I first installed version 1.0.0.0.3 64bit. I tried disabling sound, exiting, double clicking the .exe file to start again, and then loading the game. I got this error text (note that this error text has my correct system info. The last did not (has my ram in MB when I have GBs of ram).

What game was it that you tried to load? Some systems actually wont work with sound disabled, so it might be better, in this case, to set the volume to 0 instead of disabling sound.

[Renaissance]

It worked just fine with FB Alpha. The reason that I don't just turn down system sound is I like to listen to YouTube videos or documentaries while I play. Looks like I'm just out of luck though. I will survive.

*edit: I have fixed it. I can mute FBneo from the sound mixer. Thanks for your help. I have removed the game name for my privacy, since the problem is fixed.

It is Final Fight USA. It worked just fine with FB Alpha. The reason that I don't just turn down system sound is I like to listen to YouTube videos or documentaries while I play. Looks like I'm just out of luck though. I will survive.

I mean turn down the sound in fbneo, under "Audio -> Audio Volume -> 0%" - if you don't see this option, grab an update @
https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/releases/tag/latest
(if you're a fan of the Enhanced blitter: stick with the 32bit release, as the 64bit doesn't include this blitter)

I just uploaded a fix for final fight with sound disabled, new exe's should be available in a few minutes at the link in my previous post.

[Renaissance]

You are awesome! Thank you very much. I will check it out.

[dink]

Thanks, and thanks for letting us know about the problem

Another update has been made, this time it fixes:
1: crash after disable sound without restarting
2: fixes were made to nearly every other sound core to prevent crash with disabled sound

There still exists a problem: games that use the timer-less ym2151 (polling) & some Konami games (Vendetta, f. ex.) wont properly bootup with sound disabled, and have an error on the test screen.
To get around this problem, I suggest leaving sound enabled but set the volume in fbneo to 0.

Update is available @ the same place: https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/releases/tag/latest
