Random Audio Cutout when playing Dolphin for more than 5-10 minutes - TheLanguidLizard - 10-08-2015

So this issue has been plaguing my system for quite a while now. While playing on Dolphin, either 5 or 10 minutes into playing my Audio cuts out in my headset.

After this occurs, I have to unplug and re-plug in my headset (Razer Kraken 7.1). Audio returns but for Dolphin the Audio is completely gone. This seems to only

happen with anytype of headset being used. One suggestion I got was that a process might have been too much to handle and shuts off. I'm not new to Dolphin,

but have very little understandings of its coding, so go easy on my I guess   Confused

UPDATE: Audio cut out happens with another audio source open (say Youtube, Music, Twitch) with XAudio2. Also, I have an XB1 Mini controller plugged in.

What Audio backend are you using in Dolphin?

XAudio2, recently tested OpenAL, but I figured something else out while messing around with Dolphin again. When dolphin is running (no emulation) and another audio source is going (say Youtube or Twitch) the audio cuts out as well, about 5-10 min again :/ so, it might be Dolphin itself. Trying out OpenAL at the moment with no emulation and other audio source on.

If GameCube Adapter Direct Connect is enabled in the controller settings, try disabling it.

Which version of Dolphin are you using?
