Fwd: playloudness of audioclip ignored on Windows?

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

This is still driving me nuts.  I tried setting the overall playloudness, and 
displaying that value in a field in the standalone.  On Windows it reports 0, 
but still plays the click at the pre set play loudness level.

Has no one else encountered this or similar?

playloudness of audioclip ignored on Windows?

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

I have a ‘click' audio clip that typically is played once only in any one use 
of the software, as a sort of 'captured data’ indicator in response to an on 
screen button.  That meant that the slight delay in first playing an audio clip 
was always noticeable for users.

To get around this, I used this script to play silently once on opencard, and 
then the ‘real’ click would not be laggy.

On opencard
  set the playloudness of audioclip “click.aiff” to zero
  play audioclip “click.aiff”
  set the playloudness of audioclip “click.aiff” to 50
–– not sure this setting is retained, but hey ho.
end opencard

This works fine in the ide and in Mac standadalone.  No click, and no lag when 
the click is needed for real.

On Windows (10 and Vista tested so far) standalone the click is not muted, but 
plays at the OS volume setting.

I have looked through the docs and forums, but can’t see anything relevant.  
Any ideas?
