Post subject: Is it me, or is the music on Gambatte a bit off-pitch?

Just started playing Link's Awakening DX on Bizhawk 2.3. For some reason, whenever a song plays, it is off-pitch for the first few seconds. I thought it was just me, but when I played it on Bizhawk 2.2.2, it was absolutely fine and I didn't have an issue. Anyone else notice this, or am I the only one? EDIT: For those wondering how off-pitch it sounds, the pitch is a tad lower for the first few seconds. That's pretty much it. EDIT 2: It's Gambatte, not GBHawk. Didn't look at the core I was using before making this post. Changing subject line accordingly.

I'm quite bad at hearing audio issues, but generally speaking GBhawk audio will sound slightly worse then Gambatte (i.e. version 2.2.2) since GBHawk always ends frames on VBL boundaries, which is good for me since it makes logging and debugging stuff easy, but slightly worse for users since the main thing this impacts is audio fidelity.

Well, that's interesting. Also, I checked again to see what core I was using when the sound pitch issues occurred in Bizhawk 2.3. It was Gambatte, not GBHawk. Subject line has been changed accordingly.

It's probably worth mentioning that if you dump GBHawk movies, enabling alt sync will make the audio output in the dump to be fixed.

Ah, yes...the issue from the recent Mega Man II GB TAS. I remember catching the comment on the re-upload.
