New 3DS XL USB Audio Sounds a Bit "Crunchy"

Through the capture software, I've noticed that (more in some games than others) the audio is rather rough sounding, with occasional crackling. Is there an audio resampler included in the 3DS capture program? Maybe the 3DS' odd sample rate of 32768KHz isn't being scaled linearly to the output. My audio output is set to 384KHz, which seems to sound the best overall. Also, use of the WASAPI audio driver in Windows would allow for full audio passthrough to the output, if that's something that can be implemented.

Do you have any particularly bad examples?
If you haven't already, you should change your 3DS sound from surround to stereo.
Audio is passed up to Windows to do the resampling, it isn't done by the capture software. I tried using WASAPI instead, you can give it a try. I'd be surprised if there's any difference though.

(I haven't spent a lot of time on it so there might still be issues.)

Mostly it's in Mario and Luigi Dream Team. Sometimes in the music there are some slight pops that occur. I'm not sure if the 3DS capture software causes this though, but the pops do not seem to be audible using analog. Maybe the captured digital audio exposes an issue with the music itself. I'll try using the WASAPI release later and see if it still happens.

Update: the audio appears to sound maybe a little clearer, but there are still pops that occur and the application doesn't take full control of the audio device, so I'd guess there is still some resampling going on.

Hi,
I'm working on an alternative multi-platform software, which should also work on Windows. Link for an alpha Windows 64 build: https://github.com/Lorenzooone/cc3dsfs/ ... /0.0.0_tmp
It has a Readme attached for everything you can do via the keyboard.
Do you get sound issues when using this as well?
