Are you able to change the audio format in Windows for that output to something like 24bit/48kHz?

What is the audio format on that Yamaha AV receiver output?

how moddable is the audio planned to be: Will scripts be able to directly arrange samples? Will sample-concatenation & blending be available for real-time usage? The variable music tracks will be defined by the AmbientSound prototypes. There are no plans for real-time Lua API for variable music...

Thanks for the report.
In map view, there is a low pass filter applied. It was possible for the filter to output a sample value outside of the valid range, causing it to wrap around and making an audible click.
It is now fixed for 2.0.

[*] So far, the WIP main sound tracks from the last FFs seem significantly better than the procedurally generated tracks... which isn't surprising... (as making procedurally generated music tracks sound good seems a significantly harder task). Last week examples were from much much farther stage in...

Just in case this endeavour does not work out for some players. Will there be an option to limit the music to the static/predefined soundtrack? There is already (in 1.1) a hidden "music mode" setting. It will be there in 2.0 and you will be able to select to play main tracks (static) only.

I'm making a note (a note, get it? hueheuhe) of this thread, no promises.

Why you devs don't add individual music control for each planet? this way the player can control the music volume more precisely or turn off the soundtrack for planets they don't like. To me it sounds like a complicated GUI for just a couple of people for something that can be easily done with a si...

I have to ask - how deep-rooted is the engine constraint preventing the music from behaving dynamically? Pretty deep, the music player simply doesn't know what's happening in-game. So a system would need to be built from the ground up. And the music would need to be composed/recorded/mixed with suc...

ha! you're not wrong

Thanks for the write-up. I think this is a good candidate for a 2.1 minor feature. Toggle option to stop sound as soon after the control signal stops as possible. (Ideally within a tick or two) Volume control signal changing effects the currently playing sound, not just future sounds from the speake...

Would you like me to write up a proper feature request in the Suggestions forum?

That would be great.

Unfortunately, what you're trying to do here is not possible with what's available. You have the game's update interval fighting against the SDL's audio thread and the way how audio data are sent. For seamless transition you would need queue samples and let the audio backend do it for you (this isn'...

In 2.0, the main menu simulations are muted when previewing the map.
As was said, you can use the "Simulations" volume slider to adjust/mute them.

1.1.x uses SDL 2.26.5
For 2.0 it will be at least SDL 2.30.0

Thanks for the report. First, the horizontal scrolling working backwards in GUIs has been already fixed for 2.0. Second, horizontal scrolling being treated as vertical scrolling (scroll left = scroll up, scroll right = scroll down) for control binds is intentional, so I'm moving this to not a bug. I...

Duplicate of 110783.

If a sound with its sound type overridden was playing at the time of audio device switch it would stop playing, making its resources available for a different sound to be played after the device switch, but it would still hold a pointer (now invalid) to a mixer. And it could happen that those resour...

Thanks for the reports.
This turned out to be a pretty rare crash. I wasn't able to reproduce it organically but looking at the stack traces I was able to force the situation in a test environment.
It should be fixed in the next release.

As you've said, this is probably duplicate of 110783. I'll keep this thread here until I can confirm it.
