Hello everyone. I'm new to the forums. Sort of new to emulation too. With that said, I've been wanting to emulate my favorite game, Resident Evil for Gamecube, on my PC since I've gotten it in December. Finally, I've been able to and have been doing so for the last 2 weeks. However, I've been having problems with the audio BGM not functioning properly. I've read every page from the first to this one looking for a solution. I've seen quite a few others ask the same question and either not gotten a response or given the suggestion of using an older version of Dolphin.
I've tried using older versions but experience other problems such as slow downs and other bugs the older versions hadn't yet fixed. I'm currently using version SVN R6007, one of the very latest versions of Dolphin to run the game. I've completed the game many times these past 2 weeks, experienced pretty much everything you can within the game and have had no problems with the exception of the audio BGM and not being able to change discs. It runs the game perfectly from A to Z with all of the settings turned all the way up, with the exception of the audio BGM problems and being unable to change discs, so I have to save just before it's time to change to disc 2 and use Dolphin 2.0 to change discs, then save and switch back to SVN R6007 to finish the game. I swap Memory Card files from the user file between the 2 versions to do this.
The version of Resident Evil I'm playing is the USA NTSC version. I've read something about an audio HLE plugin but that it's still faulty and better to use the default audio plugin until it's been fixed.
With all of that said, can anyone tell me if their's a way I can fix the audio BGM without making any sacrifices in the settings? Also, I want to add that Dolphin 2.0 doesn't run the game nearly as well as the SVN R6007 version I'm using. The only benefit I get from using Dolphin 2.0 is switching discs, because for whatever reason, SVN R6007 doesn't allow me to change discs. If anyone knows a fix for either of the two problems, please let me know. Like I've said, I've read through each and every page of this thread trying to find an answer. My apologies for the lengthy post.
