Audio choppy after 4.0

[lookerup]

After the switch from 3.5 to 4.0 my audio is a bit choppy. I am using HLE settings. The games I have tested out are Kirby, lost in shadow, mario kart. Lost in shadow and mario kart was a bit choppy played about a 5 mins into the game, they were choppy. Kirby seemed to be unaffected. My FPS was at 60, so gameplay itself is fine.

here are my sound settings:

It shouldn´t give you problems. Phenom II is in third category accordig to the hierarchy: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-do...+benchmark

Game play was find with FPS at 60, it's just the audio was getting choppy for no reason.

Try switching to the OpenAL audio backend instead of XAudio2. The OpenAL backend features audio timestretching.

what latency would you suggest i use?

Use the lowest latency you can without the sound going all crackly.

Greater latency = greater lag
Lower latency = greater static.

Same here. After grabbing the latest 4.0 release, the audio is choppy for Sonic Colours (as compared to the latest stable 3.5 which I have previously been using).

i guess the best option is to revert back to 3.5, if 4.0 gets better (audio-wise)i might revert back to 4.0.
