Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock overdriven mic

[LonelyDragon123]

When playing Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock and use microphone I just got white noise, sometimes can interrupt it with my voice (Kind of, it sounds like overdrived sound).
Mic: Konami official usb mic, essencially it's just Logitech mic.

Try disabling audio buffering.

I disabled it and still got white noise.

Came here to say that this is still an issue. Works fine on Singstar(when the emulation feels like working there) and Rock Band(exception for the Harmony issue detailed in another thread) but not for this game.

Can you please test with #13614 ?
At least the new error should be fixed.

Sorry.

That's odd. maybe try a different mic, or use XAudio for the audio handler. Maybe Cubeb leads to a crash when used at the same time as openal.

[LonelyDragon123]

Tried XAudio, but looks like it's the same.
RPCS3.log

Tested with different Logitech mics - with Konami label and another very old usb mic.

try again with #13614

Now it's booting, but ingame sound still sound like a noise.

I tried to play WoR today and this problem still persists, I tried on World Tour, Band Hero and 5 too, the same exact problem, overdriven super saturated mic.
I tried setting my microphone volume to 5% on windows, and this makes it a little bit playable, makes my voice kinda understandable but it still has a lot of noise so getting good scores on expert is still not something worth trying

This bug still exists as of January 2025.
