Clicking sounds on burnt saturn games

a few of the games i have burnt have clicking sounds where the music is supposed to be. i have double checked the .wav files that i'm using, and they all are working wav files, and the cue sheet looks good, so i'm not sure what the problem is. some games work, some don't. an example of one that doesn't is guardian heroes. here's my cue for it - assume the wav files are working:

Code:
  
FILE "guardian.iso" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 POSTGAP 00:02:00 FILE "GH02.wav" WAVE TRACK 02 AUDIO PREGAP 00:02:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH03.wav" WAVE TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH04.wav" WAVE TRACK 04 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH05.wav" WAVE TRACK 05 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH06.wav" WAVE TRACK 06 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH07.wav" WAVE TRACK 07 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH08.wav" WAVE TRACK 08 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH09.wav" WAVE TRACK 09 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH10.wav" WAVE TRACK 10 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH11.wav" WAVE TRACK 11 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH12.wav" WAVE TRACK 12 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH13.wav" WAVE TRACK 13 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH14.wav" WAVE TRACK 14 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH15.wav" WAVE TRACK 15 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH16.wav" WAVE TRACK 16 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH17.wav" WAVE TRACK 17 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH18.wav" WAVE TRACK 18 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH19.wav" WAVE TRACK 19 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH20.wav" WAVE TRACK 20 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH21.wav" WAVE TRACK 21 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH22.wav" WAVE TRACK 22 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH23.wav" WAVE TRACK 23 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "GH24.wav" WAVE TRACK 24 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00

any ideas?

all you hear is clicking? not music with clicking in it?

   rommaster Oct 31, 2003 
nope, literally, just clicking

   racketboy Oct 31, 2003 
but the WAV files on your computer sound fine?

do other games sound ok on your Saturn?

(just trying to eliminate possibilities)

   rommaster Oct 31, 2003 
yeah, i tried playing them on my computer, and they work just fine, and i have other saturn games that work just fine with audio, it's only a few that don't. i'm using alcohol to burn the disc, and i'm doing it at 4x so it shouldn't be a speed issue.

   racketboy Oct 31, 2003 
How about trying to play the audio tracks in a normal CD player or on the PC's CD Player?

do you have nero or CDRWin? you could try those and see if it makes a difference.

   rommaster Oct 31, 2003 
ah hah! i put the cd in my computer, and in media player, the tracks all play as clicking noises as well....so it isn't my saturn's fault, it's the burn. i'll have to try cdrwin. thanks a lot racketboy.

   racketboy Oct 31, 2003 
no problem

just curious, have you burned other Saturn discs with Alcohol with no problems?

   rommaster Oct 31, 2003 
yeah, but none of them have had any audio tracks that need to be played. for example, PDS. It worked fine, and i've burnt a bunch more as well. As i said before, there are a couple that haven't worked. Dracula X Nocturne in the Moonlight won't work for some reason, it's a bin/cue game, but i haven't really fooled around with it that much. so basically, some success, some failure, so it's kinda a toss up.

   racketboy Oct 31, 2003 
I usually stick with Nero.

Would use CDRWin, but for some reason it doesn't detect my new burner.

I use Alcohol to rip to BIN/CUE though

What burner are you using?

What burner are you using?


me? It's a Samsung 40(?)X. Don't know the model # off hand.

   IBarracudaI Oct 31, 2003 
LOL racketboy... I was asking rommaster

   rommaster Oct 31, 2003 
well, i'm happily playing guardian heroes right now because the sound works great now that i used Nero. so as far as burning stuff goes, Alcohol is not the ticket, nero seems more reliable. Also, in case that question of what burner was directed towards me, im' using a 48x plextor.

well I just stated that CDRWin didn't detect my burner, so I thought maybe that's what you were refering to. Wasn't sure

   IBarracudaI Oct 31, 2003 
humm.. what version of cdrwin are you trying to use?

Alcohol is absolute crap for anything cue-sheet related.
