Audio latency win10 64bit

[wadmixfm]

is there a way to get the latency down in windows 10 64 bit with blitzmax ng when samples are played they are slightly out of sync

the current audio driver i am using is freeaudio

directsound is ok but a little jerky

any ideas please

Can't you try "audio.mod/soloud***.mod" ?

You have two audio backends to choose there - and they then use the driver suiting best (so direct sound or similar).

I will give it a try

Thanks

Free audio is great on the Mac as it uses core audio and it's bang on time

Will try soloud

I always used FreeAudio for MacOS, OpenAL for Windows.

Way too many issues with DirectSound/FreeAudio under Windows.

Code: BlitzMax

1. Import audio.soloud
2. Import audio.soloudaudio
3. 'or sdl
4. 'Import audio.soloudaudiosdl
5. 'miniaudio
6. Import audio.soloudaudiominiaudio
7.  
8. SetAudioDriver("Soloud")
9.  

Should be enough.
With SoLoud you also gain the ability to stream your music files instead of loading+decoding them completely at once.


So a looped streamed sound:
local sound:TSound = LoadSound(url, SOUND_STREAM | SOUND_LOOP)

I've never set it up with BlitzmaxNG, but in the original Blitzmax up to 1.50, from what I remember, just install OpenAL and it's available with "SetAudioDriver("OpenAL")" or something along those lines.  All the other audio commands remain the same.

For distribution you can just put the OpenAL DLLs in your game folder, and it still works.  The licence used to permit that and it was common practice in casual games - it negates the need for the end user to install OpenAL themselves.
