3D Sound Engine

Teletubo, I assume you use JavaSound with this library. I don't have this problem with the plugin based on JOAL 1.1.3. Maybe someone can suggest a solution allowing to keep the JavaSound plugin. Have you tried to create a new source each time or to change the position a very little bit each time you play your sound sample?

Hey, teletubo, sorry I have been busy with other projects lately and haven't been on the forum here for some time.  I tend to start too many projects to keep up with, and some end up taking a back burner for a while.

Anyway, this problem is caused by the fact that Oracle decided to remove the built-in Java Sound software mixer.  At some point when I have time to finish my own mixer I started a while back, I'll be able to fix the problem.  If someone has already completed a similar project let me know, and I'll look into creating a new plug-in to use it.

Okay, thanks paul. I think I'll go for gouessej's suggestion and use an OpenAL Plugin to be sure that it will always work.

I'm back with the same problem I was having before.

I have an .ogg file which is about 3k in size and 3 minutes in length. When I load this file with 'soundSystem.loadSound(filename)' It takes up a huge amount of memory ( 800mb) in my application. Whats weird is that if I don't load it and just play it with soundSystem.backgroundMusic(), it takes up a normal amount of memory. This activity only seems to happen with certain .ogg files, some other ones I have work fine. It seems like there is something weird in the loadSound() method. Or perhaps my file has some funny attribute that isn't playing nice. Let me know if you want a copy of the .ogg file and I will send it to you. I cant put a link here because the sound is proprietary.

Thanks Paul,
Mike

I don't know if anyone can help me with this but I'm getting this output when I run an exported JAR, sound works when I run through Eclipse but not when I run through the JAR
