3D Sound System

[Paul]

HI
Iv got a problem with the queuesound function.
I simply dont know how to use it 
Can anybody help me ?

queueSound is called on a streaming source or the MIDI source.  It queues up the next sound to play when the previous playback ends.  There are two versions of the method, with parameters that are similar to the first couple parameters of newStreamingSource (so if you know how to create a streaming source, you should have no problem using queueSound). As stated in the JavaDoc, this method has no effect on non-streaming sources.

Hi,
I've got a problem on how to add the 3D Sound System into my project. The problem is that I don't know where to put it so it is going to work. I am using Eclipse Luna. I already tried to put it into my project and then import it with the following:

Code: newbielink:javascript:void(0); [nonactive]

import paulscode.sound.SoundSystem;
import paulscode.sound.SoundSystemConfig;
import paulscode.sound.SoundSystemException;
import paulscode.sound.libraries.LibraryJavaSound;
import paulscode.sound.codecs.CodecJOrbis;Can you help me with this?
Thanks,

SOGKiller10

[Paul]

Put the source files into a package with the specified name/path as in the import statements.  paulscode/sound, paulscode/sound/libraries, and paulscode/sound/codecs are the three you have listed below.  Or if you are using the compiled JARs, include them like any other JAR you would add to a Java project.

[SOGKiller10]

Ok, thanks, but I have still got one problem. The last import doesn't work. (import paulscode.sound.codecs.CodecJOrbis;) What is wrong with that? (And yes, I have that codec JAR)

Thanks,

SOGKiller10

[Paul]

Not sure.  That is the correct path.  The other four imports work?

Hello! nice library you've got going here!

I was wondering if you're planning on making the OpenAL plugin compatable with lwjgl 3.0?

As far as I know, the lwjgl-team hasn't changed the openAl interface very much, and I think there's only a few lines of code that needs changing. It would be great if you did!

Hi

Maybe you should update the few lines about the JOAL plugin because it uses both OpenAL and OpenAL-Soft under the hood which drives it more compatible.

I'd like to build your library with the profile "compact1" but there is only one class preventing me from doing it: javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat. As this class is just a bean (there is no intelligence in it, it contains only some fields and some accessors), maybe it would be acceptable to replace it by a more simple class or by the implementation of this class in Apache Harmony so that I can use your library even under Android.

Finally, I see that you're on Github. Why not putting the source code of your sound system into it? It would help me to contribute.

Keep up the good work as usual

Ey Paul,

Nice Sound system a friend of mine implemented it into a game and it worked prefect until i upgraded to windows 10

it seems that  windows 10 doesnt have the "Microsoft GS Wavetable synth"

The solution to this will likely be the same solution as the problem with only having one line on Linux, which is to write my own software mixer.  Been meaning to do that, but haven't had much time for programming in a while.

[r2range]

well if you could find the time to update the libs it would be awesome other wise i need to ask my friend to redo the entire sound system

Hi Paul,

First, thank you for your work on the 3D Sound System. It must be quite popular since Minecraft is using it.

I started a remake of Settlers 1 and I am using your library. Because the music is in MIDI format I am using the MIDI system and found a bug:

In class MidiChannel in method meta(MetaMessage message) line 1030:
sequenceQueue is null if you are not using it before and that means a NullPointerException is stopping the loop from working.

If you are interested in the game check out:
newbielink:https://www.simpleguide.net/sg/serflings.jsf [nonactive]

EDIT:
Two more things to optimize MIDI playback:

1. In MidiChannel always add parameter false when fetching the Sequencer (MidiSystem.getSequencer(false)). False means to not connect to a Synthesizer, which is done later anyway. If not given this parameter the output is terrible, at least in java 8. I guess this is because there is more than one Synthesizer connected.

2. I found out that on my system the volume control is not on controller 7 but on controller 11. I don't know if this is always the case but it worked for me. Now I set the volume on both controllers (method resetGain).

Best regards,
Michael

Hello. Thanks for your great library. I've created a preliminary Android port using Android's AudioTrack class. This is still very early state but it can play some music.
The main library has some API changes required for Android, like adding the clone of JavaSound's AudioFormat class and adding the ability to override how InputStreams are obtained from URLs (useful for Android asset).

Main Library: newbielink:https://github.com/NullNoname/Paulscode-SoundSystem/tree/droid [nonactive]
LibraryAudioTrack: newbielink:https://github.com/NullNoname/paudiotrack [nonactive]
Example App: newbielink:https://github.com/NullNoname/pc3dssdemo [nonactive]

Any suggestions, forks, bug reports and fixes are welcome.

Hey Paul!

Love the library system you have going, it's very cool. But I'm having and issue at the moment. I can play sound in my IDE, but as soon as I package the jar and try to run it, I get a stacktrace. Please help?




Thanks in advance!

[Paul]

Hm, weird that it works in the IDE but not outside of it.  Are there different versions of Java between the two runtimes?

[regice202]

Hey Paul!

Good call, I didn't think about that, but as soon as you said it, it made sense. I'm running java 10 on my system I guess. Is their a way you could update the lib to make it compatible? Or where would I start for a work around? Thanks again!
