There's an option in FMSel (Install Options--Convert ogg to wav) to convert the sound files on install.
Thanks Unna!!! I was unaware of this option in FM Selector. I checked it in the options and reinstalled Death's Cold Embrace. The oggs were converted to wav files and this seems to have fixed my stutters in Death's Cold Embrace. Thank you!!

I reduced the sfx sounds size in snd folder in Home Sweet Home by roughly three times whilst keeping the ogg format but the stutter is still there.
For example when you are in the streets (city1.ogg) and then enter the Wayside Bank (susp2.ogg) Theres´s a break that lasts 0.2-0.3 seconds.
Also I didn´t know that you can have any name you like for subfolders in the snd folder. The only thing to matter are the sound file names.
So you can rename sfx, Garrett folders to any other name.

Over the last month or so, I played through most of every single FM I have (around 225) and didn't experience any frame rate drops with any of them. Home Sweet Home however is a different story. I loaded this mission just like the others where the oggs are converted to wavs. But still, I get random frame rate drops in this mission.

Well, NewDark loads oggs natively, so try installing HSH using NDL or FMSel (which will not convert them to WAVs) and see if it performs better.

I tried both ways, with and without converting the oggs. Same thing... frame rate drops in certain areas.
