Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[admiraltennek]

I reverted back to the old sounds and maps folder, kept the patched aamfp.exe, new profile, new game. Result: No stuttering at piano-shock. GameLogic remains at friendly 5-7ms max.

The I tried some more tweeking the main_settings.cfg. Ended up with MaxChannels="32", StreamBuffers="8" and StreamBufferSize="32768", where the latter is at veeery low 1/8 of the original value. Everything runs smoothly without stuttering. I'd assume with the original number of 8 buffers I should hear all intended sounds, so I'll play this way now. Not shure if lowering the StreamBufferSize that much will work for everyone, as I'm using a fast SSD.

I gave this suggestion a try and made it to the Bilge (the 9th chapter?) before sound effects started not playing at random once again.

Back to the drawing board, it seems...
