Use DSP LLE

Search the forums next time...

I did use DSP LLE aswell as any other possible combination of settings available. I assume by your comment that you have MGS working perfectly. I read every issue on this forum and there are a lot of reports of crackling sound but still no fix.

I also have had this problem, it is really irritating! If I knew how to fix it I would try but I have no idea how to work with dolphin someone please fix this!

Yup everyone has experienced that problem, but with DSP-LLE, the random audio cutoff issue goes (with DSP-HLE, the audio cuts off at random intervals, if the audio cuts off during a cutscene, the game crashes after five to ten seconds).

One possible suggestion could be that the programmers could add an audio timing feature similar to that of PCSX2, whereby you can choose the "TimeStretch" or "Asyncronous" audio timing options (applicable to all DSP rendering types (DSP-HLE, DSP-LLE recompiler or DSP-LLE interpreter)) so that when the audio gets rendered, it doesn't render in a choppy fashion, especially in DSP-LLE, as if a game runs below 25/30FPS (PAL/NTSC default for low framerate games like Zelda Wind Waker) or double that (50/60FPS for smooth framerate games like MGS:TS), the audio tends to get rendered slowly/in a distorted fashion.

I think right now it's easy to run this game at a stable framerate, but however the audio remains low quality and crackling. Even when the game isn't skipping audio by setting sync to audio, the audio simply sounds off. It sounds almost like a DSP isn't being emulated or something. Playing this on a emulator and the real thing, in terms of audio, is a huge difference. It's just low quality, noisy and distorted. This could be a fun project for someone to undertake.
