Stuttering Audio and Half Speed - PhxPlz - 09-16-2016

I am trying to run the latest development version of Dolphin on an XPS 15 9550 with an I7-6700HQ 2.60GHz CPU, Nvidia 650m card, and 8 gigs of RAM.

Anytime I open one of my dumped GCN ISOs, the audio is crunchy and the game runs at (seemingly) half speed. The framerate stays at 30 while this is going on.

I have tried several different versions of Dolphin, every different setting arrangement I could try, and looked at dozens of tutorials at this point. It is incredibly frustrating.

I'm new to emulation so please forgive me if I've left out any important info or if the problem is obvious.

Any ideas as to what is going on? I would appreciate any help immensely!

Sometimes the NVIDIA drivers on mobile will vsync things to 30 FPS if you're not in high power mode.

Oh man. Setting the laptop to High performance mode fixed everything. I feel so stupid as I've spent HOURS trying different options.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

No problem, just glad my odd knowledge of weird NVIDIA quirks finally came into use.
