PCSX2
[BUG]: "Sly 3 - Honour Among Thieves" - No Sound Effects
Describe the Bug
There are occasions where the game's sound effects are not loaded or played at all. This issue is completely random and has absolutely never happened (I've completed the game innumerous times on PCSX2) until the recent Nightly builds.
I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning, but this bug is also recurrent on real hardware using Open PS2 Loader, or when game loads take a long time via DVD.
Reproduction Steps
Some triggers I've experienced were absolutely random and when I tried to replicate, it was rarely happening, so here's some examples:
- Switching 3D goggles mode on and off.
- Entering the Police HQ on the "Police HQ" task;
- Entering the Opera House on "Into The Depths" or "OP: Tar Be Gone!"
- Entering any Episode's (levels) hub map.

Does this include voice lines and music, or is it just sound effects?

Only sound effects.
Okay so it's not a soundlock. I can safely say I've never seen this before, but I'll try bruteforcing it.
Edit: I tried loading into maps over and over and I could not reproduce this. It happening on real hardware via loaders is interesting, as I played on those loaders for years before I found emulation, and I never once encountered this. Could this be a bad dump of your disc?
