Have you searched the issue tracker for a similar issue?

Yep, no duplicates (open ones at least).

Game Name?

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GameCube)

Game ID?

GFEE01

What went wrong?

From time to time when you start the game FPS drops down to 15-24 (fullspeed is 30) during into video (tower on yellow-orange background). The dropdown seems random, one gamestart it's 15, another is fullspeed 30. This itself is not that bad since ingame FPS easily raises to fullspeed 60.

The bad thing is that music disappears soon enough during ingame battles. Also music may firstly cut down to one channel and then disappear completely. Notable that sound effects continue with no problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Just start the game to see FPS dropdown (try few times as it's random). Not sure about music disappearing circumstances, seems random too.
