I feel like I should mention this as well. Prior to this PC, I had a beast of a machine (Abit motherboard), running XP. I had the same issues.

That's definitely a generic driver. You should download and install the latest Intel chipset drivers from here:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19597&ProdId=816&lang=eng

Do that and reboot.
Then check your audio device in Device Manager again and let us know what it says now.
Then try Nestopia again and let us know if the desync problem still happens.

EDIT: you may also need to download and install the latest Realtek HD Audio driver, from here:

Okay, got the most current realtek drivers for my computer (hey, this is pretty cool), but that didn't seem to help matters any.

HOWEVER. I did find a solution to the problem and it seems to be working pretty well so far. Instead of using the option "Sync to Refresh Rate, use Auto Frameskip instead. It still plays smoothly and there doesn't seem to be any sound de-syncs at all.

What vertical refresh rate is your monitor set to use?

Can you please send me your Nestopia log file?

I'm back. My refresh rate is set at 60Hz (I can choose between 59Hz and 60Hz). All that needed to be done was to enable auto-frameskip (which consequently disables the "sync to monitor refresh" option.

Well, spoke too soon. I was playing Contra Force and the sound started to sync out again. Not sure what to do at this point. This is indeed one strange problem.

Update: Okay, before my previous post, I had been using NTSC filtering exclusively, and not any other display mode. Since then, I've tried using Standard and things are good with the sound so far (no sound de-syncs). I'll continue testing throughout the rest of the day and see if I still encounter problems.

Okay, I give up trying. Sound still de-syncs no matter what I do.
