Have you tried to start from scratch in another directory with default settings. Are you sure that left did not accidentally get programmed as "pause"?

Is this an original disc? bin/cue image? or iso/mp3 image?

I did some more testing:

It seems like the popping and crackling during speech is caused by vsync being activated.

Vsync type 1: poor quality speech
Vsync type 2 (vsync + timer): good speech

I tried to run ICFTD for the first time in a long time on ME for XP.

My preference is to run with both bilinear and hires filtering turned on. Of course, vsync should also be turned on.
