Game Name? Goldeneye 007

Game ID? SJBE52

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The audio stutters on the main menu and first level so far.

What did you expect to happen instead? The audio to me clear and stutter free.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]
1.Load Goldeneye 007
2.Start playing with Wiimote and chuck
3.Play through the intro until you start the first mission
4. During the intro cut scene you will get a lot of audio stutter.

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? The latest as of today: 4.0.2

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work? I've tried 7719 but that still had the issue.

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.66GHz
24GB RAM
NVIDIA 680 GTX SLI

Are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version of Dolphin? 64 bit

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

I bet the video stutters too.

Yes it does. I had given up too early when I heard the audio stutter. Why was this closed?

Because that's what happens when there's nothing available to output. It doesn't output anything. Your computer is too slow.

The game only generates 1 second audio per second gameplay, so if the emulator doesn't run at full speed, there isn't enough audio to play it without stutters.

For you, there are three choises:

  • play with stutters
  • use OpenAL which stretches the sound (which increase the audio latency)
  • buy a better CPU to run it at full speed

btw, you're not the only one asking for this kind of "issue", we see such a new one every day. Have you tried to search?
