Blue Screen Flickering and laggy audio

[Exen44]

I'll leave a picture that explains about all of it. Happens regularly and I can't for the life of me find out how to fix it. As for the audio side, it happens every now and then where I hear sort of this electrical buzzing and it's really irritating.

Try software mode(F9).

Try software mode(F9).

That fixed the flickering problem but it made the audio one more frequent and the game slowed down a lot. I tried turning on speedhack to see if it would even it out, it did not.

Set extra rendering threads in GSdx config to the number of cores your CPU has - 1, but not more than 4.

Thanks. That dramatically improved my gameplay. It's now at a normal pace, no black or blue flickering. Although the audio issue is still there with the electrical buzzes. Usually only at the beginning of a level, perhaps that's the way it has to be, but if not, help would be appreciated regarding the matter.

Also, so I don't have to press F9 everytime I boot up the game, if I'm correct, I change my renderer from "Direct3D9 (Hardware)" to "Direct3D9 (Software)", yes?

Change it to Direct3d11 Software.

For the audio go to config->Audio->Plugin settings and change time stretch to async mix.

Thank you very much. That did it. The audio bug still happens very rarely but I can put up with that if I have to.
