Hi guys. First of all thanks to all who put so much work in the Linux version. You're awesome.
I've only recently got back into emulation after a few years, only have 1 game currently (Dragon Quest VIII) but trying to get my hands on more so I can test a bit more. I've noticed with my setup, the sound sounded "off". For example the title music on DQ8 sounded out of tune. Played around with some settings, finally switching Sync mode in SPU2-X allowed me to have normal sound (i.e. default is timestretch but async mix gives me normal sound).
Is this normal ? Any drawbacks ?
I thought it might be pulseaudio first, but removed it from my system and things remained as they were.
Specs below. Thanks in advance!
