Music and Sound problems

Post by prmottajr »

I've got a simple pinball game using Box2D Love support for Ludum Dare 15, it was nice (but really simple table) however the music only plays in Linux. I had this same problem earlier but I thought it was a coding problem or something.

On Linux I set the frequency to 22K and the music was ok, but on windows that was an annoying buzz.

any idea ?

the game (with sound) can be found at http://www.paulomotta.pro.br/cavernball-with-music.love

It will not let me download it. The love linked appears to be a shortcut to download it. I'm confused.

EDIT: oops, my MIME type was all messed up for .love.

DOUBLE EDIT: Yeah, on Windows XP SP3 the sound is all screwed up. I heard what the wav was supposed to sound like. And it was not recognizable.

However if you unzip the file and play the wav on Media Player everything goes fine.

I am confused with this behavior, maybe it is the windows dll files ?

I tested on Ubuntu Jaunty and I'm hoping the sounds aren't supposed to sound that way, so I guess it fails here too.

Well that is odd... I tested with openSuSE 11.1 and 11.0 on more than one box, didn't get any problems. I will try to get an ubuntu box to test.

However I am still asking, did anybody had any sound problems with Love 0.5.0 ?

regards :)

As said by the developers (including me, yay!) sound SUCKED in 0.5.0. For starters, we switched to OpenAL for audio display in 0.6.0 and we created our own lib to decode it. So no more SDL_mixer/SDL_sound, and believe me that solves a few problems. Though sound might not be all that better in 0.6.0, now at least we can fix something.

Well I had to compile SDL for the PowerPC so that it could run on openSuSE over the Playstation3, is there a release notes about 0.6.0 so that I can start the configuring phase ?

I am planning to provide the rpms for this stuff, but I am getting kinda stuck with many other tasks.
