I grabbed the emulator a couple of days ago and have tried to play some games, but I notice there is bad audio stuttering when multiple sounds are trying to play at once, for instance if a character is speaking and music is play in the background. I've tried playing around with the audio settings, but nothing seems to be helping. I know it's the emulator, because it's happened with both games I've tried running; Eternal Darkness and Die Hard Vendetta. Any help in getting them working properly would be appreciated. I can't really play one of my favourite games with this glaring issue.
Audio Stuttering and I can't fix it

Are you making sure the games are running full speed? If the emulator isn't maintaining full speed, audio stutter/slowdown is the correct emulation.
There's very little info on your current settings and the things you've tried yourself to solve the issue.
But you could always try the following and see if it helps: - lower the IR to 1x, so that you know it isn't a GPU issue. If this does resolve the audio problems, you know it's related to the GPU settings - use latest development version of Dolphin - use Xaudio2, not Dsound - use HLE audio, not LLE - set framelimiter to auto, otherwise try setting it to audio

The only one of these that worked was downloading the latest development version. It's working for the most part, but when more than one or two things are happening, speed is dipping to about 90% and the sound kind of warbles a little. 06-07-2014, 04:50 AM
Please post screenies of your Dolphin settings.

It may be your ancient Radeon giving you troubles, plus those games may be heavy on CPU too. That combination may bring you problems.
It sounds like your computer isn't up to snuff, emulator is doing it's job as well as it can. 06-07-2014, 07:42 AM

I can run some semi-new games on decent settings; Borderlands 2, Skyrim et cetera. Does a Gamecube emulator really take more than those? 06-07-2014, 08:16 AM
I understand you're just trying to say this from a user perspective. As someone more familiar with the process, emulating a GameCube game requires a TON more processor power than games built for your computer. if you want more information, you can look it up. It's just a lot harder, because everything has to be converted, emulated, interpreted from one type of computer to another. It's not quick or easy. N64 Emulators required 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 processors when I was younger to run most games full speed (they require more now, sometimes core2duos aren't enough for certain games) so can you imagine how exponentially more powerful the GameCube is than that?
