Re: [Audyssey] no sterio in mota
Hi tom Thanks for writing back. I need some more help please.

I bought my laptop last year some time, I cannot remember exactly when. But I cannot remember when this laptop was made. I am using a pair of headphones with a microphone attached. I do not know the model and make of the headphones. In other words you should be able to open the game's speech directory and play the file Test_Speakers.wav with any program that can play sounds Goldwave, Sound Forge, Windows Media player, etc and it should play the sounds in the left and right speakers. I played Test_Speakers.wav in winamp and the panning was 100 percent correct. I heard it in the left ear and right ear. I played Test_Speakers.wav in windows media player and there is almost no panning. The voice saying left is coming from the centre and when it says right its about 5 degrees right of centre. Also does it make a difference if you are using headphones or speakers? I only own this laptop, and it doesn't have good speakers for playing games. I live with my mom and therefore I cannot play games using speakers as it will disturb her and other people. There are separate settings in the control panel for each of these and I'm wondering if something is off in your sound card settings. Can you please give me some help in changing my sound settings in control panel? I am afraid if I try to adjust settings, I am going to mess up my computer. Sounds should definitely pan some and not be absolutely static on your computer. The panning in other games that makes use of sterio such as pipe2 works fine. Any help is much appreciated. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] no sterio in mota
Hi Nicol, Well, it all depends on the software that came with your sound card. However, I've got a Soundmax AC-97 onboard sound card in the desktop I'm using at the moment. Under Windows XP I would do something like press control+escape to open the Start Menu, go to the Windows Control Pannel, and then find the Soundmax icon. If you have a Realtech or something else the icon should be named appropriately for your sound card or manufacturer. Anyway, once I click on the Soundmax icon in the Windows Control Pannel I have a dialog that pops up with settings for that sound card. First is a listbox with some presets such as headphones, stereo, 5.1 surround sound, etc. Since I mostly use stereo headphones I select stereo headphones from the presets. The next listbox is a list of DSP effects such as Cave, Forest, Hallway, Underwater, etc. Basically, the DSP effects just adds echo or changes the way things sound on your sound card. I generally leave it set to None. Click on Ok and you should be good to go. However, as I said these directions largely depend on your sound card and sound card software. This is just a quick example of the software that came with my desktop computer's sound card before I eraced XP and installed Ubuntu Linux on it. I'd also recommend upgrading to service pack 3. Service pack 2 is quite old, and there are a number of bug fixes, security updates, etc in service pack 3 I'd highly recommend having.

Re: [Audyssey] no sterio in mota
Hi Nicol, First, I'm glad installing the latest C++ runtime files fixed your problem. I had hoped I removed all references to the Microsoft specific libs in the Windos release, but apparently there are still some dependencies my engine must need to run on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. As for the strange problem with the speaker test not being panned to the left or right definitely sounds like a sound card issue of some kind. I've played MOTA beta 14 on at least three computers for testing and the speaker test definitely works properly here, and I know it works for others as well. So I guess the problem we have to solve is why it isn't properly playing back that file on your computer. To begin with I don't think you absolutely have to have a 5.1 or 7.1 compatible sound card for this game since I haven't actually used any advanced 3d rendering that requires 5.1 surround sound support. However, it would be hard for me to test that since all of my computers have decent sound cards in them, and even the cheap Sound Max AC-97 sound card that came with my desktop computer had 5.1 surround sound support. So I'm guessing if your computer was made any time in the past five years you probably have some minimal 5.1 surround sound support on the sound card's chipset, but maybe not the speakers/headphons you are using with it. In any case any stereo headphones or sound card should work for the speaker test since it is just a simple stereo file with the sounds panned and saved using Goldwave. In other words you should be able to open the game's speech directory and play the file Test_Speakers.wav with any program that can play sounds Goldwave, Sound Forge, Windows Media player, etc and it should play the sounds in the left and right speakers. If that doesn't happen on your laptop then you may need to go into the Windows control panel and figure out if your sound card and speakers are configured properly. Also does it make a difference if you are using headphones or speakers. There are separate settings in the control panel for each of these and I'm wondering if something is off in your sound card settings. Sounds should definitely pan some and not be absolutely static on your computer. As for DirectX no we definitely do not use DirectX at all in beta 14. The new game engine uses cross-platform alternatives like sfml-audio instead of DirectSound, sfml-window instead of the win32 API, etc. Most of the Microsoft specific libraries are not used as of beta 14.
