That cause like said Portaudio is default now in pcsx2,and i convinced alot people dont even try to modify alot settings beyond the defaults before making complains about problems (i can cause no sound from portaudio buy just changing 1 or2 settings for portaudio from it defaults just cause it default dont mean it gold rule setting for all) before Xaudio2 was and for years it crashed at random there are topics about it on here if you dig of other reporting this. probably going back 3+ years if not longer it was know bug for spu2 and xaudio2 as it was mentioned in spu2 thread If it was ever fixed i dont know. I just assumed Portaudio was made default to stop the crashs from Xaudio2
But i know for fact Spu2 using XAudio2 starting with 1.xx builds and everything till Portaudio2 was made default. I would get random pcsx2 crashes with event viewer complain about spu2 plug causing the crash. changing to directsound fixed the random crash for but directsound was terrible in comparison. This was not just on my pc but multiple desktops i tried the emulator on. I dealed with it cause the crashes where random and some time went months with out happening other times bunch times in day. and Xaudio is infinite better sound compared to Directsound.
Soon as portaudio became defualt that all stopped.
