Strange DS <---> FPS bug (?)

Hi, Im not sure if anybody else has experienced something like this, but there appears to be a framerate that makes DirectSound unstable and jittery. I''ve been using GetTickCount() to do a basic framerate limiter.... * If I turn off the limit the game runs fine (no sound faults). * If I turn the limit up quite high the game runs fine (no sound faults). * If I set the limiter to about 30 (i.e. wait for 30 ticks to happen from the start to the end of each frame) then I get sound faults. Why is this? Does anybody else have this problem? thx

I saw in the DX/OGL/Gen3D fourm something similar to this. It was something about framerates also. They said not use the GetTickCount() because you should use some more accurate function in the winmm.dll file. I didn''t bookmark it. Also the DoEvents function in C++ is something like uh, I think, Sleep.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
