Everything about this game runs perfect for me, except for one problem. After about 10 minutes of playing, the sound freezes. It's a weird occurence, and the only fix I found for it is resetting the game, which sucks for a Zelda game where you don't start at the area you saved from.

The sound seems to stop at one part, background music or sound effect, and stays at that exact second constantly. Even through loading to different areas. It's really annoying and forces me to turn the sound off, which I hate to do during games.

Is this a common problem? Is there a fix for this?
Well, did you try the DPS LLE Recompiler? If you use LLE, the sound will be perfect. But LLE needs a lot of CPU power though Wink

Anyway, here ya go -> http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=23103
My CPU is pretty weak. 2.5 Ghz Core2Duo.

Will that be enough? And thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it whether my CPU is weak or not, I really want to play this game!
unfortunately, that made the game extremely slow ;\

Is that the only possible fix? I guess I have to play without sound ;\
Well, your CPU seems to be too weak for LLE.

Well, did you try another Dolphin revision, e.g. the official 3.0 release or the newest git version?
I'm using 3.0
Well, did you try to check "Enable Audio Throttle"? Or did you try to use XAudio2 as audio backend?
Xaudio2 worked for a little bit, it slowed all the audio down and made it choppy but it wasn't freezing, but eventually it did. Just not as quickly.

I can't seem to find Audio Throttle but I'll keep looking.

And thanks for the help by the way, I'm surprised considering my previous experience with forums.

no problem Wink

older revisions: DSP -> Enable Audio Throttle
newer revisions: Config -> Framelimit -> Audio
So I change framelimit to Audio? Ok thanks a lot. Trying that now.
That didn't seem to do it either.

Maybe I just need to get my gamecube fixed ;\

Unless there's anything else that can fix it.

If you want perfect sound and if you can't use LLE it's your only solution (or get a cheap Wii Big Grin)
