Sound problems

by Howard Dortch · in Torque Game Engine · 06/13/2006 (8:58 am) · 4 replies

I run a mission, end the game, and have called one or all of the following:

endMission()
resetMission();
alxStopAll();
OpenALInit();

next mission I run, footsteps sound like gunfire, gunfire sounds like buttonover etc

how can I guarantee a complete audio reset? game reset?

Hiya Howard, long time no see.

I've heard the workaround is to use wav's rather than ogg's right now. I would shutdown openAL before initializing it again, though. Not doing that looks odd to me.

Hi Howard,

I had the same problem, but after switching out all of the .ogg sounds with .wav files (and changing the script references to them) the problem went away completely. There's probably a better solution, but this method works great for me.
