I was implying that, to my knowledge, HLE audio doesn't cut it for this game at all. I don't know how the Xenoblade hack would perform, but like I said, I imagine LLE is the best way to go.

If I use LLE, even with on thread enabled or accurate vbeam emulation, the game runs too slow and the sound is completely messed up (but all the notes in the music actually play).
I don't know if this is normal, maybe I'm doing something wrong? It would be appreciated if someone who found the right settings to have this game in a playable state and with working music posted a screenshot of all his settings.
My i5-2500K is still on the stock 3.3GHz, but I think the Sandy Bridge architecture makes a difference in this case. Also, I've compiled my build myself with optimizations, so maybe you should try grabbing a pre-built one, like Lectrode's (if you're on Windows). Also, I'm on a 64-bit system, which I'm sure helps too.
LLE audio needs emulation speed to be near 100% if you want to play and have smooth music and sounds. What does Dolphin say is the percentage? Mine stays 98-100%, and I haven't seen it go anywhere else. The lower that percentage goes, the less likely LLE is going to help you. Regardless of what you think, if you're not hitting high percentages, then your hardware isn't capable. If you can OC it any more, try it, just watch those temps.

As you can hear, there are a ton of notes missing and some other notes not playing correctly. It also slows down.
This is with LLE, and as you can hear, it's even worse

This is how it should sound:

Mine sounds just like the YouTube video. Like I said, LLE audio will sound pretty bad if you're not getting full-speed, and LLE is pretty demanding.
