And environmental sound is simply vaporware
Thats funny. Some month ago I posted a question about it because I had problems with SoundScape/AuralAttributes and somebody told me it works fine. I for myself never get it working with really _strong_ effects. May be sound works on some systems depending on some strange external influences?
I have integrated soundscape into our application. I use almost all its features. And - it makes no difference, even if I set some of the properties to ridicolous values.
I tested it on alot of different machines from 1GHz to 3GHz, and with Intel & AMD. Mostly with buildin soundadapters and some different versions of Soundblaster live (all windows). Same result.
I try the same values in a demo EAX to test my environment values, and there the sound actually changes, in Java3D it does not.
But notice, in my app I have many many sound nodes. I have been wondering if Java3D maybe supports only 4 voices, and for each echo for each node it will need another voice, but have already allocated them to my disabled nodes, and therefore switches off env. effect. I dont know, I know it does not work as it should. Maybe it works in a demo app. with only 1 soundnode, but thats not useful for anything.
And I am scared to use headphones (which our app is build for) since positional audio does not work at all with headphones. Yes it does change but wrongly. If you almost directly at node it will play still in only 1 ear, just very loud, thats wrong for both speakers and headphones. If I stand right next to a node it plays only in the ear facing the node, as if I have an earplug in the other ear, maybe that works for speakers but not for headphones. And the option to select stereo/mono/headphone must be empty brackets, it does nothing different. Set it to mono and you will hear stereo still etc...
I could go on for hours listing stuff that works like pre-Alpha ware in Java3D sound.
