Game sound stutters
« on: September 22, 2006, 03:14:10 am »
I installed the game and the sound seems to stutter, on, off, on again as if it is taking a huge amount of CPU resources. Anyone else having this problem?

I do and I have tried both SDL and WAPI... (when I switch to dx the game locks up)

This is a major problem in the current sound engine. It is stuttering because the main game is taking up most of the CPU and the sound engine is playing on the same "thread" as the game.

We are (or should I say mattn is) currently trying to upgrade the sound engine so it uses "openal" by default which should fix the stuttering (and openal is hardware accelerated as well which will also help reduce load on the CPU slightly).
