Hello,
I have an issue regarding the US version of Demon's Souls.
Upon loading a save and starting the game, the audio sounds as it should at first. But it doesn't take longer than a few dozen seconds for it to start progressively getting worse in terms of strange echoing reverb - as if the sounds start looping over and over throughout their duration after a time - especially noticeable with the ambience track playing for a few seconds, and then looping back to the start immediately. NPC dialogue and music is unaffected by this, and they play as smoothly as they should. This only affects gameplay and ambient audio, such as sword swings, enemy grunts, spells, the ambience of the area, etc. With what I've tried, I suspect it's either an issue with the emulator itself, or my own hardware, and I'm unsure of what to do.
Below is an opened Github issue that has the above description and more details as to the issue, including system information, emulator logs, and a video hopefully conveying the issue. This issue was recorded using the latest version of the emulator at the time, with the recommended settings for the game from both the wiki and the forum.

I've run out of options as to what to try, please help!
