There are several people are having the same common issue. Believe or not I think I figure out when an enemy hits me. It explains why the emulator crashes. By reading and looking at videos. I notice problems come from the CUSA00900. People who have the GOTY version doesn't experience the issue.

I think this is a very similar issue to the one in Dark Souls Remastered with Intel cpus. I have the GOTY version and it indeed happens to me, it seems it's more related to cpu being Intel. Can you write if you have an Intel cpu or AMD?

I do have a Intel i9 13900k. Let me clarify what I mean. At first I though it was intel but I notice some users with intel do not experience the issue for example I look at this video https://youtu.be/B7pCWaMXSHM?si=4jQoN2QO0164Kw6j

This user is actually using an Intel i7-10700 but maybe they are older specs on his/her description or maybe they using one else footage.

I do have the same issue on AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU. Although, it's flaky and sometimes doesn't crash.

Watching several videos i noticed there are other Intel users not having this issue, so i think it's not related to cpu being Intel

I have the same issue with I3 12100
The game crashes for me even if the enemy starts attacking and I don't get hit

@TheBookIsBetter commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2024):

Gazu on the Discord figured out that you can avoid these crashes by removing all of the files in your sfx and sound folders. I was having the same crash almost everytime an enemy attacked, and this fixed it for me as well. Of course, then there's no sound. I was encountering the issue in the GOTY edition and this fixed it for me.

Probably a "hit" or "hurt" sound is the one that's causing it, but until the offending file is found that might be a valid workaround

Now that starts to make sense because when I'm not close to an enemy and tries to attack from a distance. It crashes as well I notice. Now when I think of it. Since its no sound. We couldn't identify the problem so easily. I will test it out when I get to my computer later on. If true, someone should pin this as a note in the discord for now. Hopefully, the devs will have solution for it later.

Can confirm that clearing out the "sound" and "sfx" folders resolves this for me.

someone in another post did say that the sound files are encrypted and the emulator isn't able to decrypt them so that might be the cause

Edit: Which is probably why deleting the sfx and sound files prevents said crash so

Same problem, the detail can be found in https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/issues/1152.
No sound, include the sound of environment and weapon attack.
CPU : i5-12490F
GPU : AMD RX6750xt
The version of the GPU driver is 24.8.1
Many errors are reported in the log. Did I miss something about the runtime environment ?

I am on version 406041b using a RTX 4090 and Intel 13900.
Also tried some older versions without luck

There is a fix on nexus for sfx related crashes on Intel hardware. You wont have to delete your sfx or sound folders, just copy over the mod to your game folder

una volta entrati portate il limitatore a 0..inquesto modo bypassate crash e vi rimane il suono

I encountered the same issue after a short time of playthrough. program crashed after starting up the game and hitting the first enemy.

More detail:
I tried to remove(rename) sfx folder AND sound folder, but it still crashed. So this issue is not related to them.
I tried to hit enemy by throwing item. It did NOT cause crash.
It only crashes when I hit enemy with my weapon, or enemy hits me with his weapon.
