      Does gameplay recording through retroarch work for anyone without messing up the sound?

      On almost every libretro core I tried, the start of the recording messes up the sound of the game (although the resulting video looks and sounds great).

      The only three cores that work without messing up the audio are lr-bsnes, lr-snes9x* and lr-dosbox-pure. But what's interesting is that the recordings from these cores always end up in /home/pi while all the other cores respect the recording_output_directory property from retroarch.cfg

      What's going on? It's like there are two different systems for recording although I always start it the same way through the retroarch menu.

        The reason why only snes and pc systems were working is that I had config file overrides for them 🤦‍♂️.

        By comparing them to my global retroarch.cfg, I found out that having video_record_quality set to anything else but "4" (lossless) causes the audio issues while recording.
