The issue occurs during long playing times (1.5 hours or so) and it is generally a quick progression of static and once it apexes the audio generally adds an echo effect. It eventually goes away (and subsequently comes back again later). I have confirmed the audio issue all the way back to pre 3.0 on my system. I actually got it to happen with 2.0 using Resident Evil 4. It also occurs on 3.5 builds. I believe the last one I tested was 3.5-269.
I have tried everything I can think of with regard to setting combinations. I have even setup completely different OS installs. I have tried x64, x32 and even just the barebones drivers (and even tried them one at a time to ensure it wasnt one of them).
I dont know how it could be a driver issue because folks have experienced it on Win 7 and Linux as well with Nvidia and ATI cards: Intel and AMD processors too
It is also confirmed to happen with HLE and LLE: DirectSound, XAudio2 and OpenAL are all affected.
On top of that several of us have tested these machines with other emulators and they do not have static. Most notably PCSX2 as it uses XAudio2 I believe. But I have tested many other emus without issue. It seems to be specific to Dolphin. Perhaps there is a newly added or updated library required by Dolphin that is causing this?
