I only get good sound in all games with at a setting of 4 (at 44100 Hz).
However, a setting of 4 introduces quite some delay into the sound effects, which sucks. I mean, when I slash the sword in leander, the sound comes a bit too late. This is at 64% CPU usage. Now some games run fine with a setting of 2 or 3, but not all. All that at less than 100% cpu usage.

But I am using crappy VIA Chipset onboard sound.

I wonder what soundcard is the best to use with winuae? I mean which soundcard works fine with low delay? Any experience? Soundblaster live or audigy, maybe? Is it worth buying a soundcard? Does it make a difference?

BTW: Similar problem with delay/buffer in WinVice...
