#1426 closed defect (fixed)

FT: Sound/Music/speech (almost) mute (0.6.0 critical)

Reported by: fingolfin Owned by: fingolfin
Priority: high Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Full Throttle

Description

With current CVS (and already *before* my pan->balance modification just now), Full Throttle's sound output is almost mute - I have to turn up the volume of my speakers almost to the max to hear anything.

Not sure when exactly this regression was introduced, but I think it must be quite recently.

This is release critical for 0.6.0

it's fine for me

comment:2 by fingolfin, 20 years ago

In game it works fine, yes. But all the movies (e.g. the intro movie, which is the first thing you see when you start FT in scummvm) has the problem (and also all other movies). No problems with The Dig, though. Maybe this is a problem with insane and/or any changes made by sev...

intro also works fine for me

Volume-wise, the intro works fine for me as well. Some endian problem, perhaps, though the volume itself is a byte from what I understand, in which case the volume problem might be secondary to something more sinister.

On the other hand, the FT intro crashes for me after a while in handleFrameObject(). I'll file a separate bug report for that...

Just FYI, olki was able to reproduce the problem on his OS X machine, too, but not on his x86/linux machine.

There are more portability bugs than just endian bugs, of course. For example, the V6 code for some time had problems because it did: foo(pop(), pop()); The order of the two pop() statements is not defined in the C(++) standard. As a result, we got differing behaviour depending on the compiler and the target platform. There are of course many more examples :-). I guess the "easiest" way to track this bug down will be to do a "CVS regression search" (I am still wondering about whether it'd pay off to implement a nice helper tool for this, one which makes doing a 'binary search' in CVS easier ...)

Before I forgot, olki also reported that he got "AppendableMemoryStream overflow" messages in the FT intro. See also bug #881535.

And I did some testing, inserted lots of printf statements, which showed that playFtMusic is called once at the start of the FTInto, like this: playFtMusic("", 2, 127, 0, 0) And startSound (of IMuseDigital, that is) *never* gets called.

Fixed in CVS. It was an endian bug, introduced by the change found here: <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php? thread_id=3720406&forum_id=33067>
