I have Dead Space PC and am having horrible audio stuttering which repeats in short loops, often causing video hitching too. My system passes the min spec on everything including sound card and I have the latest drivers for video, sound and MB chipset. I also have the settings well below the auto detect with all effects off, shaders at med and shadows at low.

I have noticed all the audio files for the game are a very uncommon file type (.exa.snu). All of them are in folders in the audiostreams directory except for the very last one called mx_brute.exa.snu, which is a bare .exa.snu file in that directory.

If someone with the PC version can please verify for me that this file is supposed to be a bare .exa. snu file rather than a folder and it's size 13.9MB when highlighted I'd appreciate it. I'm wondering if maybe this one file is corrupted or partially missing.

The actual size of the file when right clicking and selecting properties is:

Size: 13.9MB (14,649,376 bytes)

Size on disk: 13.9MB (14,651,392 bytes)
