Axiom.SoundSystems

Hi zinotep, thanks for your feedback and sorry for my late reply, I was very busy elsewhere.

A few things were already fixed with an update to Axiom latest trunk. I'm currently not going to be fixing much of the other bugs since I'm working on another project, which however uses the library, so the time shall come. If anybody meets a trouble, please consult the existing issues and if you are able to fix yours right away and make a svn .patch file, that would be awesome, also don't hesitate to discuss your needs here.

There's an update to the demos - a doppler demo. The doppler effect works nice with the Xna.Simple subsystem, unfortunately the OpenAL subsystem doesn't "doppler" correctly for some reason, would be related to this. Be welcome to check it out from svn to give it a try.

Ok,i've downloaded it from SVN,installed OpenAL Runtime for windows,run the demo but nothing happens,no sound,nothing,
do you know why?
When i close application i hear a little bip and nothing else

Not much ideas,

installed OpenAL Runtime for windows

that is not necessary, because the OpenAL32.dll is bundled with the library, but doesn't harm. Reminds me, I haven't tested on a 64-bit system, are you running 64-bit?

Does the Xna.Simple subsystem produce any sounds for you at least?

I have Windows 7 32 bit,could be that?

I don't know. You may update your working copy to see if the changes I did a minute ago help. Ofc if there are any errors in the log, pls post them. Am curious whether the Xna.Simple part works for you in demos 2 and 3.

Well it needs wrap_oal.dll file too, then there is no need to install OpenAL .

But my actually question, is these csogg.dll and csvorbis.dll compiled "Release"-versions?
Tried checkout svn from http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewvc/trunk/csvorbis/ but I just get

Repository moved permanently to '/viewvc/trunk/csvorbis/'; please relocate

so cant compile these myself.

The correct SVN repo url is : http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/csvorbis

Thanks Borrillis.

Tested this on linux too, works fine when install libopenal and libalut from repos.
OpenAL does not ship with alut, for some reason, having problems to find alut lib on mac.

Ok, alut is deprecated, freealut is available but cant find binaries (universal or other) to mac, readed that mac comes with openAL, so tested this but comes

System.DllNotFoundException: libalut.so.0
at (wrapper managed-to-native) Tao.OpenAl.Alut:alutInit (int[],string[])
at Tao.OpenAl.Alut.alutInit () [0x00000]
at Axiom.SoundSystems.OpenAL.SoundContext.Initialize (System.Object[] args) [0x00000]
at Axiom.SoundSystems.SoundsRoot.CreateSoundContext (System.String subsystemName, System.Object[] args) [0x00000]
at Demo.SoundDemo.CreateScene () [0x00000]

But then tested OpenTK's openAL test and it worked with mac osx. So leaving alut for good, might be good idea.

I made new OpenAL plugin where I replaced Tao.OpenAL and alut with OpenTK.dll so it works with mac too.

You can check it here
http://www.dhost.info/haima/ax/cs/ax_So ... ng_otk.rar
(copy to your address bar, no hotlinking anymore, I see)

Just projectfile and sources, no otk dll but they can be found at the same www directory too.

Add it to Axiom.SoundSystems if you want (it is different directory and projectfile so it does not replace original OpenAL plugin).

That's nice, it's in the repo now, looks like it could fully replace the Tao OpenAL plugin and work on Win, MAC and Linux?

It is tested with one mac osx machine, couple of ubuntu install (and in VM too), xp, w7, and my test application works (using .wav and .ogg).

But in this new plugin there is couple of methods which uses parameters that opentk does not provide in enums, so I copied values from tao. But havent tested these methods so I cant be absolutely sure if these are coded right.

Great
Am unfortunately having some trouble getting all demos run with the OpenAL.OpenTK plugin on WinXP/32 (one issue is that background 2D sounds are hardly hearable the second is an exception when loading the ferrari wav) so both Tao an OpenTK versions are kept..

Fyi, Axiom.SoundSystems is now licensed under the MIT license. That is very non-restrictive license and unlike LGPL allows Xbox/Zune runs. Everything's MIT now, except the mp3 decoder plugin which uses the GPL'ed third party mp3 decoder Mp3Sharp.dll and therefore stays GPL (GPL2 to be exact).

Help needed - OpenAL and doppler effect: If you understand how things are done in OpenAL and can take a look at how the OpenAL plugin uses OpenAL to get a doppler effect, that would be appreciated, because the doppler effect doesn't currently work in OpenAL. Look at the Axiom.SoundSystems.OpenAL.Tao plugin and use it in SoundDemoDoppler (you can launch it using the bundled demo selector). Thanks

Ok, I'll check if I can fix these, didnt notise these before, I used other wavs in my test project.

so both Tao an OpenTK versions are kept..

That's good

Unfortunately, I cant help with OpenAL and doppler effect, at least yet.
