+  - **Synchronize Audio**
+    causes higan to wait for audio playback to complete
+    before resuming emulation.
+    This should reduce popping and glitching noises,
+    but if your PC's video refresh-rate and audio-playback rate
+    are in a different ratio than the emulated console,
+    this may increase them.
+    If your PC cannot emulate at full-speed,
+    (60fps for most consoles, 75fps for WonderSwan)
+    this has no noticable effect.
+  - **Mute Audio**
+    causes higan to not output sound from the emulated console.
+    The sound hardware is still emulated.
+  - **Show Status Bar**
+    causes higan to show or hide the status bar
+    at the bottom of the window.
+    This option has no effect in full-screen mode.
