Before, I used Dolpin 3.0-377-dirty. I now use Dolphin 4.0.2.

The sound seems to have a slowdown in at least 4.0.2. I'll take Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Transer as an example as I was able to find a good point of reference there: when scrolling through the menu in 3.0-377, you instantly hear the sound effect for doing so. In 4.0.2, however, this sound effect is delayed until about when moving to the next menu option has been completed already.

It's just a matter of milliseconds (I thought I was just going crazy, as the difference was so small I couldn't find a good point of reference for solid evidence of sound slowdown for a good while), but it's enough to throw me off (it pretty much feels exactly as if there's a delay in pressing buttons, throwing off my entire timing). Unfortunately, the old version had a bigger problem (the sound eventually turning into a crackling mess. And plenty of other versions of back around then caused crashes and such, hence I still used it for so long), so instead of just changing back, I'll have to ask:

Is there any setting(s) or anything to fix this? LLE didn't fix, different sound backend didn't fix, changing to DirectX 9 (standard: DirectX 11) in the graphics configuration didn't fix (p.s. is it supposed to say "sound backend" in the graphics configuration? It's in the Dutch translation ("Geluids backend")). Anything? Note: games run at the full 60 FPS, so it's not due to FPS dropping or anything (no V-Sync, and Frame Limiter is set at Auto).

1- Try with any earlier build.
2- You can change the audio backend on the same place you changed from HLE to LLE.
3- Which Windows version are you using?
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 780/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

Use the latest dev build; synchronous audio support was added and for quite a while it was laggy. Afterwards, Degasus rewrote the audio backends to make it sync up better. I'd find the exact build, but, using the latest dev build is usually a good idea. If you want to go back and search for an older one that still has the less latent audio, that's fine as well.

Thanks, grabbed 1356 (the latest at this point), and that indeed did the trick!

You're welcome. Thanks to your accurate description of the issue it was a very easy thing to diagnose.
