A fix to Soul Reaver 2 Cutscene Issue

[gameboy4564]

Hey man, I'm completely new to this board but I thought I might as well post this somewhere cause I've been through hell just trying to play soul reaver 2. I'll just cut to the chase,

WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM SPECTRAL REALM BACK TO PHYSICAL REALM, FIRST, PAUSE THE GAME AND GO INTO OPTIONS, TURN OFF MUSIC AND SOUND IN THE IN GAME OPTIONS MENU, THEN UNPAUSE AND SWITCH REALMS, THEN AFTER COMPLETELY SWITCHING, WAIT A SEC AND PAUSE AGAIN AND TURN THE AUDIO BACK ON IN THE IN GAME MENU.

I know that this issue was audio related, and on a completely random whim, I thought turning audio off in game would help, at least for the transition from spectral to material realm, and I've yet to re-experience the audio bug since implementing this trick. After buying this game on steam AND gog and having neither copies work, and fighting the emulator to not freeze on cutscenes, I feel this NEEDS to be posted somewhere. Its a wierd trick but it works for me, best of luck!!!

I'm on version 1.7.0. dev112 and this issue is NOT fixed yet


I am including a savestate that reproduces issue 100% for me. 
Right after loading savestate, place the main character on warp portal and return to physical realm (by pressing select). Right after realm is switched, music and sound effects become glitched.
