Wow when did all this happened? Half a day i was offline and boom!
Mario Kart Double Dash music doesn't cut but audio levels are low, super mario galaxy 1 and 2 music doesn't stop and it seems that it doesn't freeze either after getting a grand star.
Awesome
now where is those people who said that HLE would never loop BGM of zelda ucode :p
OK...I tested Mario Kart Double Dash (GM4E01) and noticed that HLE is missing the follow effects:
1) Missing echo/reverbs of voices and sound effects.
2) BGM, Sound effects and voices are more Loud in LLE, in HLE all of them has low volume.
I also tested the GameCube Bios USA and it still doesn't works in HLE, it only play a noise annoying.
I believe that Gamecube EUR Bios is working ok, since it works even with the old HLE.
Tested with dolphin-master-4.0-1302-x64 with XAudio2 and DSound.
Double Dash music is pretty normal to me compared to LLE.
I gotta take that back. It's quite low actually.
Twilight Princess (GC) isnt fairing so well. I thought this was synchronous with the frame rate like AX-HLE was. I will list a few issues with the sound at the end but even at 10 FPS, the sound was at full speed. I have a video showing this here:

Since fraps doesn't show the right frame rate (you can clearly tell in the video that it isnt full speed), here is a screenie of the Dolphin window with the bar at the top:

With that out of the way, it seems that most outside areas that have bass, the bass is overly heavy and drowns out the other sounds like in old HLE. The same areas also have sound effects that are too low in volume (perhaps the 2 are related?) These areas suffer from it:
Hyrule field
Death Mountain
Gerudo Mesa
Kakariko Village
Faron Woods - even though there isnt much bass here, the sound effects were still much lower than in LLE
Some areas with low volume music or no music have no issues with sound effect volume:
Lanayru Province (upper river)
Peak province
Many dungeons
VPS = 60 means audio should run full speed.
Otherwise, interesting work
Luigi´s Mansion: Yes, some audio cuts when under full speed. I also noticed that the missing shadows are working. Haven´t seen any other failure on that game.
Mario Kart Double Dash: video dips when on transition, SFX is higher than BGM.
Will try later with SMG.
Updated the main post for issues everyone has been reporting. I'm only updating the ones multiple people confirm or ones I can confirm myself after someone reports it.
OW OW OW OW. Tried the GameCube BIOS. OUCH. It's a horrible HORRIBLE screeching sound.
Tried 4.0-1288, and it did pretty much the same thing (worse after the fixes). Huh, I remember it crashing if you didn't use LLE. Add it to the list of bugs! And yes it's still fine with DSPLLE, even the Dolphin created files (tried both).
Is it even using HLE? Maybe it's falling back to dolphin's rom stub.
