#1794: Audio Partially Fails and Performance Drops in OS X 10.4.11
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Reporter: holst...@… | Type: bug
Status: new | Priority: major
Milestone: unspecified | Component: Engine: Sound
Version: 2.3 RC 1a | Keywords: Vorbis OS X Sound Audio
Mac PowerPC G4

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
The game runs great for a while, then audio starts to drop sounds. Mostly
combat, though building and movement noises also stop. After a while, the
framerate drops as well.
This seems very similar to [http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/960 Ticket
960]. However, there is no crash; the game keeps going, but the frame rate
drops quite a bit. The logging system does not provide much information as
to what triggers this behavior. From my experimenting: If you wish to
avoid silence, don't attack anyone... avoid doing anything.
I have tried fiddling with the audio settings (disabling music and voices)
but this hasn't helped.
If a mac savy developer is interested, I have included Shark Traces from
before and after the audio hang up. These were collected on a dual 1 ghz
G4, 1.5 gigs ram, Radeon 9800, OS X 10.4.11, and lots of dog hair inside.
I add this because there is no mention of this on the Intel OS X side.
The most remarkable aspect of the traces is that Vorbis threads become
much more important in the hung state (Warzone23aAudioFreakout.mshark)
versus the happy state (NormalWZ2.3a.mshark), where rendering is much more
important.
Thanks for your time!
