Summary:
I have observed that when I run the game with Bluetooth headphones plugged in, whenever music plays ingame, it is heavily distorted and stuttering. This issue only occurs with bluetooth headphones plugged in. It does not occur when using laptop's speakers or headphones connected to jack output.

The issue didn't occure to me when using Vanilla TR2. When I installed TR2main it started occuring, but even if I run vanilla TR2 again after using tr2main, I get sound distortion anyway. Hard for me to say if it's releated to the tr2main then.

The issue seems to affect music only, it does not affect sound samples.

It is very much possible that it is either an issue caused by Windows 11 (which apparently changed how sound works) or Nahimic drivers (which are known to cause troubles, especially with bluetooth headphones). I have also noticed similar issue in a different game (Tomb Raider Legend) which might point that the issue is caused by something external and TR2Main is just suffering from it. Still decided to report this just to raise awareness.

Repro steps:

  1. Run Windows 11 machine and connect bluetooth headphones.
  2. Run TR2Main.
  3. Listen to the main menu music.

Observed issue:
Music stutters when using headphones.

Expected results:
Music is plays smooth using different sound devices.

Specs:
Lenovo Legion 15ACH6H
Windows 11 Home 22621
AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Raden GPU (12 CPUs) ~3.3.GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU
Realtek HD Audio with audio driver 4.7.2 + Nahimic 1.9.17
