Stuttering, Small freezes and framerate Issues

[admiraltennek]

Going off of lovebunny's suggestions I believe I may have finally found a definitive fix for the stuttering without causing any problems with the sound effects in the process. Here is what I did step by step:

1) Reverted my game files back to their original unaltered state and deleted the "Pig" folder in
My Documents\Amnesia.

2) Replaced (in the installation directory) the original aamfp.exe with the latest patched one, and also
placed in there the SDL2.dll that came with it (the patched executable won't run without it).

3) Started up the game, configured my settings and created a new profile.

4) Went into My Documents\Amnesia\Pig, opened up main_settings.cfg, and set MaxChannels to 64,
StreamBuffers to 8, and StreamBufferSize to 32768.

5) Presto. No more stuttering and no more missing sound effects. The game ran pretty much perfectly
for me and I played it for about a good hour straight without any stutters or other issues.

Now I of course can't guarantee this "fix" will work as well for everyone else as it did for me, but so far it seems to have completely resolved the stuttering without causing any noticeable issues with the sound. Now the only last niggling issue I have with the game is random drops in frame rate when running it in windowed mode, but I don't think tinkering around with the sound settings will help any with that.
