Not every game can play sound properly, and some not at all, it's just a case of looking for the best build for that game (if any at all).

As for the crashing im guessing you are using JitIL 32-bit build, JitIL is less stable than then normal version of dolphin which is most likely why it's crashing, so i suggest you try the normal build and also try Copy EFB to RAM,

Hello GreenRanger,

I have two pc's with the same soundcard (Realtek High Definition Audio - onboard)
and both pc's have these sound problems too [see my post]...

I thought these sound-errors are normal an not fixed - since I found that Video: http://forums.ngemu.com/dolphin-discussion/114229-wii-videos-12.html#post1640650
(it's a video of WII sports on dolphin -without any sound-errors)

So I think it could be a problem with the soundcard or the driver?

Have you fixed the sound-errors for you?

thx cjeazy

sound problems may be caused by vista.
install at least SP1
