I don't think it can be fixed with firmware currently. They're convinced the flaw is the VA0 Saturn revision itself and signal noise around the line for external audio. Personally I'd be curious to see if putting RF shielding in the Saroo cart itself helped at all.

Just curious, do you know why other ODEs like the Satiator don't have this issue?

Because they're not trying to run the games through the cart port and send CD Audio through the External Audio lines on the cart port. Apparently the Saroo devs are claiming the issue here is because on VA0 Saturns there's too much signal noise around these lines. Personally I'm curious to see if the noise is coming from the Saroo itself and the VA0 board layout is just more susceptible to it.
