Use the latest development revisions. HLE audio doesn't stop and it doesn't crash: https://dolphin-emu.org/download
Also, if these "other people" are YouTubers, ignore them. They're often using old, outdated revisions that are faster than 4.0.2 (the latest revisions are faster than 4.0.2 too, and they fix more issues, so that's another reason to upgrade from 4.0.2). YouTube is terrible source to see how well games should run, since rarely do the videos ever show the complete Dolphin settings/hardware setup/Dolphin revision; you really need all three to reliably recreate how well they ran the game in their video.
