| Summary | 0024921: The music doesn't play correctly when the ships are fighting | ||||
| Description | During battles with a lot of noises the music doesn't seem to play correctly and becomes really choppy. I think that the problem is that there's a limit to the number of simultaneous sounds and the music has the same priority as the ships shooting. | ||||

Hmmm, that's troublesome. Is anyone else having this? There are a couple of things that could be going on (and I do note that you're on linux, so the whole equation gets more complicated): 1. There's a general set of sound buffers, and we limit how many inputs and outputs there can be at once. This should already be preventing things like competition from too many "voices" (in the old school sense that you're describing. Plus the audio would likely cut out and not recover if the voice the music was playing on got co-opted. Unless this is happening well under the unity layer, in the actual sound processing for your system, I don't think this is the issue. 2. There is also a general mixer, and there is a lot of stuff that happens along the mixer bus that is dependent on contextual things, such as "audio ducking" to lower the volume of the music when certain sounds like voice play. There's a complex layer of ducking chains (as with most audio productions) where different things are mixed differently in general and that help make space in the audio. You could test if the ducking is related by disabling sound effects and seeing if the music still skips, although obviously that would not conclusively point in that direction. 3. The music is also dependent on streaming and decoding from disk, on a background thread, and it's possible that it is experiencing latency that it can't handle when a lot of other things are going on. This also applies to voice clips, but all of the other sound effects are preloaded in RAM and don't require any I/O or disk access. The only real things touching disk during gameplay are the periodic autosaves, anything written to a log (rare when not having an error), and then voice and music clips being loaded. Everything else is pretty much already in RAM by then. If you still have music problems even with the sound effects turned off, then that would pretty conclusively tell me that it's a disk i/o thing, rather than something to do with the mixer or what have you. In terms of exactly how the mixer integrates with your OS, and how many separate audio streams come out of the game process, I honestly can't tell you. It's something that is proprietary to a licensed component that unity uses inside itself, and it's completely different on every OS (from linux and OSX and windows, they are different hooks and such, and may be different software, but I don't know for sure). I have my mixer bus set up so that it has one overall master output channel, but whether it's already combined into that by the time it exits unit and enters the OS soundsystem, I can't say for sure. And theoretically might vary by OS. My guess is that this is OS-specific, but I cannot say for sure. |

I've noticed this during extremely large battles (which I play pretty often). I chalked it up to an engine limitation where the sound output is saturated from all the weapon sounds that it drowns out the music. |
|
|
Yeah I had this issue too so I disabled music but if it gets fixed I'd happily enable it again. I'm not sure how many audio channels there are but it would be nice if the music could have its own that couldn't be overwritten. |
|
|
Okay, good to have more feedback on this! I am thinking that it is maybe a disk thing still, but it's good to know. The music is intentionally ducked by the other channels, but it should only be able to affect it but so much. I could also in theory make the actual sound effects not cause ducking on the music channel. Voice needs to duck the other stuff so it is audible, but that's about it I guess. Also super large explosions, but those are rare. |
