Doomsday Engine

DOOM2 uses an odd sample rate for the db shotgun that is currently misprocessed.

Occurs with FMOD, I take it?

It occurs with any of the audio drivers. This issue appears to be a result of the upsample conversion in the engine itself.

FMOD should be capable of playing any sample frequency as it does it's own mixing/interpolation. Doomsday shouldn't be upsampling at all when using the FMOD sfx interface.

[Commit f22126d](http://github.com/skyjake/Doomsday-Engine/commit/f22126d3f83e006c68db1a3b1a06314df2933fe3) disables Doomsday's resampling with FMOD. This should resolve the issue?

- status: open --> accepted
- milestone: v1.9.0-beta6 --> v1.9.10

I have now noticed that I was asked to test this about a year ago. My apologies for missing this until now.

FMOD does fix the issue, but introduces another issue; it plays them near all the time, but sometimes, with lots of overlapping 6-7khz sounds, random ones simply don't play at all.

Usually, sounds from hud weapons I notice though.

By FMOD fixing the issue, I mean, the sounds are no longer replaced with distortion.

Maybe not entirely related, but may I suggest that the 1x sampling be renamed to 'no up-sampling' or something similar, as that seems to be what it actually is and some games Dday plans to support in future may not have mostly 11khz sounds.

My apologies; ignore the assertion that the original issue was fixed; I used the wrong sounds to test. I have to rip some original wolf sounds to test with...

Ok, test using original Wolf3D sounds appears to show the original issue is fixed; though the volume of them seemed a little low, but that may just have been the original sounds.

But what about non FMOD plugins?

SDL Mixer for instance.

Right, time to clean up all my rambling above; it's cases like this that I wish users could edit and/or delete their posts on here (it's an admin only option). If I could, I wouldn't have written the above ramble.

Firstly, I missed Skyjake’s request 11 months ago, to test whether this issue was fixed, I apologize for that.

Secondly, FMOD can indeed up sample the 6-7khz sounds from Wolf3D (at least the one sound I used to test), thus 'fixing' this issue. Though I would have thought Dday would have wanted a solution that works with all of its audio plugins?

Thirdly, I noticed an issue with the hud weapon sounds in one of my own old mods (after I originally accidently used said mod to test the original issue, forgetting that it's sounds weren’t in 6-7khz). Randomly Dday or FMOD won't actually play a sound it should at all; it seems to randomly occur when player weapon sounds overlap each other.

Obviously, the issue with my mods sounds is a separate issue and thus requires one though.

The ability to edit ones posts appears to work :)

Thanks.
