Sound for me is near perfect in master branch as of 3.0-809, and it'll sound even better for you if you check out the New AX HLE branch builds. They're available for download on the main site. It should let you get fullspeed in places where you couldn't before.Thanks for the recommendations, which have had excellent results! I have downloaded the most recent AX HLE build you mentioned which has reduced fps drops in many areas:
Cut scenes are still a bit off in terms of sound/performance but I think this is a totally separate issue:
By and large though, the build you recommended is much snappier and plays far better. In other builds with LLE, some sound clips were not being played at all. The AX build with HLE seems to resolve a lot of these audio problems and the fps is pretty constant. I experienced no noticeable slowdowns (excluding the aforementioned) and speed stayed constantly at 99-100%. Overall, a fantastic result and returns my hope of being able to play through this excellent game once again ^_^
