Sound system beta test version 2

[hitech]

Still getting freezes when using vox. Seems the longer I am on, the worse it gets.

Are these when you hear some one, or transmit?

Been running it since Skuzzy let it out, no problem here so far! Been on for at lest 6 hours.

So as this story evolves and I've been given more information after I cause my own unintendad consiquences. Here is the results of todays testing.
-------------------------------------------------

ArenaFlags

2.29p5--- Beta

--{ } ------{ } -- Use LPC Codec
--{ } ------{ } -- Use VOX Codec
--{x} -----{x} -- Use MS GSM 6.10
--{ } ------{ } -- Use MS GSM 6.10 11kHz



This is how the flags should be set.
Don't test the lpc or vox, because both of those options will be going away.
Also you MUST only choose 1 at a time.

1. - After I finish testing if I want to play on the 2.29p5 executable. I have to change the flag to LPC Codec or I get a crash to desktop when I press the VOX key. But, I don't get screen freezes or FPS hits.

2. - I tested MS GSM 6.10 options separately.

a. - MS GSM 6.10 11kHz:
Offline - stutters, screen freezes and FPS drops into the single digits sometimes pressing the VOX key. Online - the same.

Dosen't like Dolby and Windows reduced my speaker emulation from 7.1 to 5.1 during a 1 minute hard freeze. It's possible I need to set my windows internal sound configuration to 11kHz first and this won't happen.

b. - MS GSM 6.10:
Clicks or hiss just before voice playback happens. Some FPS hit as low as the 20's in hand with transmit screen freeze. On average 40's are the lowest. If I first check Dolby, exit, reenter offline, then press the VOX key. It dosen't like Dolby and crashes to destop when I press the VOX key.  But, if I enter offline already set to Windows Speaker Configuration then change to Dolby it won't crash with the VOX key.

Choosing windows speaker configuration rather than the specific windows speaker setup is the least problematical on my PC. 

Online in an empty AvA tuned to myself and range while blasting away with an 88 at an ord bunker. I could not get screen stutters or FPS hits while making constant sounds over VOX. Same in the TA firing 5" rapidly from a carrier. My experience last night in the MA was micro screen freezes and FPS hits everytime I spoke on VOX.

my issues went away with the new  version.  but out of curiosity what am I supposed to be listening to?  I dont hear anything different then again I have custom sounds.  gonna rename them see if that is my mistake now.

There is no difference in the sounds..... yet 

Once HTC gets the sound system up and running the way they want, THEN they will be able to add sounds like they want.

the spatialization (if that even exist) of the samples sounds a bit better, but it could be a placebo effect on my side.

Even as I play in mono, sometimes I get stereo effects with this system

[hitech]

There should not be any difference then the current version in quality.

This is a simple foundation for the new stuff. What you are looking for are major issuses, like the game won't start. The game will not see speakers. The game hangs ..... 

It is the low level stuff that is system dependent, hence why some have issues some don't. It is what we need to sort out in a beta.

I don't use vox.
I found a little bug respect to what it seems going on vox.

I taked-off from a cv that was not under attack and i flew to a field under attack.
Well i could hear the field alarm. The sound was very very low but it was there.
The field was far from cv.

Had a strange situation yesterday in MW, while defending a VBase in a wirbl. We were shooting at a formation of KI67's when they warped, then dissappeared, reappeared and flew off "into the sunset". when I landed my wirbl, I recieved credit for 21 victories, un earned I might add. I did save the video. I was running the latest FMOD beta.

Only had time for a short test but no issues so far with beta2.
