{{Issue
|IssueName=Static noise

|IssueLevel=0
|Description=A static noise can be constantly heard during gameplay.
|Workaround=Go to Config > Audio (SPU2) > Plugin Settings, and set Module to "4 - Portaudio". If this does not fix the issue, download the old SPU2-X v1.2 audio plugin [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-SPU2-X-v2 here], and use that instead of the latest SPU2-X plugin.
