Best Audio Config in Winuae for a Creative X-Fi Audio Card

[shaf]

My WinUae2.4.2 Configuration is setup for an A4000 with P96 Graphics everything except sound works properly.
What is the Best Sound Configuration for a Creative X-Fi PCI-E Sound card.

The problem is when trying to use either Sonix 2.0 or DMCS 2.0 to play non-midi sound files, everything echos and stutters.
Using the Default A500 1.3 Config Audio Works properly for Sonix.

Listed is my current UAE Configuration (A4000 Enhanced):

Using the Default A500 1.3 Config Audio Works properly for Sonix.

Unfortunately there are no easy answers, only questions:

Does other sound programs work when using same configuration?
Does it work if don't use fastest possible CPU option? (Use same config, set CPU to approximate)
Does CPU Idle setting change anything?
Does WASAPI or DirectSound sound option work?
What does SND% show (enable onscreen leds in misc panel)

Thanks Toni,

Changing CPU from Fastest to Approx. fixed to problem for both Sonix and DMCS 2.0.
I'm still PortAudio Sound settings, I'll test later with WASAPI and Directsound.
Onscreen LEDs are enabled I don't see a SND% LED.
