Weird sound issue

[ZeAvIs]

I'm not sure if this is only a metal gear solid issue, but when I'm playing, if I press the escape key and then go back to the game, my sound stops working. I was searching through the help files and everything and I can't seem to find a fix. Normally this is not a huge problem, but when I get to the end of disc 1 and I want to switch to disc 2, I am forced to press escape to do the disc change, which causes my sound to stop working on disc 2. Even if I save state when the sound isn't working, restart the emulator and then load state, the sound is still not working, it seems to save the sound not working issue when I save state. I tried saving the game on the memory card when I switched to disc 2, but for some reason, the sound not working causes talking on the codec to be buggy as well, so I couldn't save it there either. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks in advance.

MGS is absolutely horrible with save states. Never use them, because they will cause a lack of sound. As for the escape key...I never had that problem. What are your computer specs and what plugins are you using?

At the very least, you should be using Eternal 1.41 with the MGS fix.

Computer specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ san diego core
1 gig pc3200 dual channel DDR
geforce 7600 GT
epox motherboard
using onboard sound, RealTek AC97


I'm using Pete's OpenGL2 driver 2.7 for video
and P.E.Op.S DSound Audio Driver 1.9 for sound with the MGS fix checked.

Saving states works fine, the problem is just when I press escape to go to the emulator menu, whenever I return to the game the sound just stops working. I tried using save states to get around it, but it doesnt work.

Edit: Also I'm using ePSXe 1.6

I would recommend Pete's OGL with the PC FPS calc special games fix and Eternal 1.41 with the MGS fix.

With that combination, you can also put on 8xAA (but keep off the AF).
