Describe the Bug

I've got a weird issue where if I launch a game on RetroArch through Bigbox, then quit Moonlight, and resume the session, there is no sound and the frame rate tanks, like to 5fps or so.

I can quit RetroArch within the session and everything is fine, but RetroArch doesn't seem to handle the resume well. I'm assuming it's Sunshine, I don't recall this happening on Gamestream

This appears to happen exclusively on RetroArch though. Other emulators and games work no issue. Tested this in both Fullscreen and borderless window mode.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to resume a session without any degradation in video/frame rate. At least, no more than a few seconds.

I suspect your selected audio device is being changed for some reason.

I can't imagine why. I've got an HDMI dummy plug in the server, but no other audio device. Unless it's some emulated audio device from RDP, but there's no connected RDP session when this issue occurs.

Not sure what other audio devices it could be.

I managed to fix this issue this week by changing the audio driver within retroarch from xaudio to dsound. Not sure why that worked, but here is a short video showing the error and the fix. Unsure if this is something on Sunshine's side or not, as this never happened with gamestream.
