audio settings

[krzesi]

Hi everyone,

can someone recommend me the best audio settings for creative x-fi xtreme gamer? I`m trying to figure the alaudio options but some of them I dont for what they are

Thanks in advance
Cheers

p.s.
Is it possible to hear every respawn or most of them in 1on1?

the settings are explained in the ReleaseNotes in the help directory. If there are more questions feel free to ask.
And no, it was not designed to be abused for getting an advantage by hearing everything everywhere

[ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem]
FMODChannels=32
FMODHardwareChannels=64
FMODUseHardwareChannels=False
FMODDevices=Podstawowysterownikdwiku
FMODOutputs=DefaultDevice
ALDevices=SBX-FiAudioEC00
DopplerFactor=100000002004087730000.000000
bSoundAttenuate=True
UseOriginalUnreal=True
SoundVolume=64
UseReverb=True
AmbientFactor=0.700000
MusicPanSeparation=0.800000
MusicVolume=0
Channels=64
OutputRate=44100Hz
ProbeDevicesOnly=False
UseDigitalMusic=False

Those are my settings. What should I change to hear the most of the respawns?

Just for information I know that it wasnt designed to get an advantage but is it possible anyway? Just asking.

[Smirftsch]

in any case should set bSoundAttenuate=False and the DopplerFactor seems to have some insane value atm. Could try to lower the ambient factor a bit to avoid disturbing sounds maybe.

I will test today. Btw what vaule should I set for dopplerfactor? Can I set 128 channels in alaudio? Isnt ambientfactor for sounds like lifts, minigun?

[krzesi]

I removed all alaudio options from ini. Seems after updating omp 0,99 was mess in my settings. Now is better. Btw when new omp (0,99) will be compiled with ace?

I would like to know why need the keys FMODChannels, FMODHardwareChannels, and FMODUseHardwareChannels in ALAudio config?
And the new version OMP will be released in parallel with the 227i?

Thank you in advance for your reply

because OpenAL uses FMod for music output, the sounds and soundeffects are handled by OpenAL. OpenAL itself doesn't support the Unreal music files, it needs an external library to decode and this way it made sense to use FMod for this to avoid dependencies with more additional libraries.

I think I can create a new OMP shortly after 227i is out.

About this I know I just do not understand why FMOD must to play music in several channels.

[Smirftsch]

I'm currently not sure how many channels the music really needs, but in this case I just preferred to keep it configurable instead of making it hardcoded

[sn260591]

I tried to put FMODChannels=1, and understood This switch limits the number of music samples that are played at one time.

And another question. You'll change the music player to something else? Fmod not always play well. Or, you can, at least, turn off the fade-in music?

[Smirftsch]

FMod is one of the best players out there, its already hard to find something better
But even if, building in such a music library is a lot of work and requires a lot of testing and debugging, its not just replacing a dll or something and it needs to be cross platform.
But whats wrong with the fading in?

I have an example: after playing the track Mech8 (DM-Fractal) a pause of several minutes.

But whats wrong with the fading in?

At the beginning of the level ExtremeDark pay attention to the music: the transition from one track to another part of the smooth transition is observed, which is not in the Galaxy.

Update
And you can tell in detail about UseOriginalUnreal key, please?
