scrape into the cracks and check if there is any scrim tape between boards. Sounds like there is none
 
Do what he says above.....if theres no scrim tape, thats what youll need to do, tape and fill it. Or it may help having it taped and then plastered.

Get yourself a bag of easi fill, as it sands down easy, even if you do it wrong, just rub down and add more etc.
