Which version are you using? Have you enabled FPS display? Because SGB is slow.

Try enabling FPS Display. Go to View then select Display FPS. You will see that your FPS is not 60. Also, why are you not using 1.8.1?

Now that you see your FPS isn't 60, and you can't ever expect good sound from an emulator if you don't have full framerate, you understand why your sound is bad. We don't remember anything about 1.7.4, so we wouldn't know whether 1.8.1 has a fix for this. Generally there isn't a "fix" for poor performance, except to "fix" your computer up with faster stuff or blow the dust out of it. Bizhawk is full of options, try ones related to SNES which talk about affecting performance, and ones related to rewinding.

Even I am getting low FPS and there's this cracking sound coming from the game. I did a quick AVI Dump and it's still there. Rewind was off. 100% speed, no throttle selected. I used the latest BizHawk SVN and Pokémon Blue.

theres no option you could possibly pick that would speed up your system enough to fix that, so it's time to give up.

I have an 8-core running at 3.10 GHz per core with an NVidia GTX 660 and 16 GB DDR3 and it's STILL slow for me. Whut?

Yes, and I have a Phenom II X6 running at 3.3GHz (gfx card and RAM don't matter) and I get 43fps at the title screen. This is normal. The only thing you could try is the "Use Ring Buffer IO" checkbox in "menu|SGB|Options" when the ROM is loaded, but for me disabling that option decreased the framerate. SGB is a GB on top of a SNES. The latter is emulated by the bsnes core, which is already very taxing because of its accuracy. Then the GB is also emulated at the same accuracy level.
