NDS audio comes out finicky in recordings.

Hey all.
So I've been really loving the Loopy NDS I bought from Merki recently. Haven't had any real issues. I can record in 60fps with no issues at all. Sometimes the display flashes white, but it fixes itself when I have OBS open (for some reason).
Now the only issue I have so far is that the audio can be a bit... strange. This only happens when the audio outputs through my laptop, it plays just fine through the normal NDS speakers.
Here's an 30 second example of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsb-bEuXu0o
I recall Merki warning me about this, so I did buy an audio filter (connecting the NDS to the filter, and then the filter to the laptop) but it seems to sound no different from directly connecting a cable between my NDS and my laptop's line-in jack.
Any fixes?

Have you tried any other games? I seem to remember Pokemon in particular having weird audio issues.

Only other game I tried out was Pokémon Platinum, and the same issues were present. I could test it out with New Super Mario Bros and see if it’s any good (can’t right now because school), but this is what I’ve gathered for now.

Alright, I tested out New Super Mario Bros and it seems to be perfectly functional. I guess it does just come down to Pokemon games after all. Tried switching between stereo and mono for Pokemon games in hopes that it would fix the problem, but no such luck.

You can possibly try adding filters in obs, turn the gain and noise suppression down maybe. Might help. Just a thought. Good luck,

Still having issues with this, but I’m not letting it bother me too much. Though obviously if anyone has a solution then that be pleasant, but it’s not urgent.

Figured I'd bump again. Audio sounds really compressed and distorted on any game when hooked up to computer. Works normal coming out of DS speakers and when I have headphones plugged into the DS. It's just when I try to capture the audio on computer it sounds super distorted and compressed.
