I know that's probably not within the scope of DSOAL, but this proposed fix for another issue might be kcat/openal-soft#637 I even tried Framerate Vigilante, which is supposed to fix some framelimit-less-related issues and locks FPS to 60 instead of the original 30, but that still breaks audio, except it removes the only option (30FPS lock) that fixes this issue. It happens with DSOAL, ALchemy and even XP.Īpparently this happens because the game was a console port programmed to run at locked FPS, so turning off the frame limiter results in increased framerate at the cost of several (sometimes game-breaking) visual, physics, mechanics and of course, audio glitches. When frame limiter is turned off, panning the camera quickly adds a weird pitch filter like the underwater/Zora Link voice filter from Majora's Mask. On an side note, I was gonna open a new issue but I just found the but I was going to report isn't DSOAL-specific, but rather game-specific.

I also tried the latest DSOAL (and even the XP fork which fixed other 2 issues) with no luck 😔 It is therefore not an option of vital importance, however I leave the issue open to ensure that it is resolved in the future. Note that after you deactivate it, all vehicles had the same radio sounds (the closed one) and Bass Boost from car modification won't give any effect. To solve it open Options, Audio Setup, then turn off the Radio EQ.

In open vehicles, such as bikes, carts, quads, etc. In cars or other closed vehicles, the radio sound got balanced bass and treble. This old post explains what this option does: Thanksĭisabling the "Radio EQ" option from the game's audio settings, the crash no longer occurs. It is a rather serious issue that doesn't allow the game to be completed, I hope it will be fixed soon (or at least make sure that the game doesn't crash). The crash occurs in both Windows 10 and 11 and you need to add the following registry keys CURRENT_USER - Add dsound.zip (it is also needed for other games) to make the game use DSOAL's dsound.dll file and EAX. Typically this bug is present when particular mods are loaded but this is not the case (without DSOAL the game seems to work fine). In addition to the barber shop, it also happens in the bar and tattoo parlor without doing any mission.
