Making "looping" work

Java Sound & OpenAL
#1

Sooo, i’ve been using that 3D Sound Engine from Paul’s Code, but i can’t get stuff to loop, check the examples:


import paulscode.sound.SoundSystem;
import paulscode.sound.SoundSystemConfig;
import paulscode.sound.SoundSystemException;
import paulscode.sound.codecs.CodecJOgg;
import paulscode.sound.libraries.LibraryJavaSound;

public class Example_2 {
	SoundSystem mySoundSystem;
	
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Example_2();
    }

    public Example_2() {
        try {
            SoundSystemConfig.addLibrary(LibraryJavaSound.class);
            SoundSystemConfig.setCodec("ogg", CodecJOgg.class);
            SoundSystemConfig.setSoundFilesPackage("");
            mySoundSystem = new SoundSystem(LibraryJavaSound.class);
        }
        catch(SoundSystemException e) {
            System.err.println("WE GOT AN ERROR HERE HOUSTON" );
        }
        
        String filename = "hurr.ogg";
        
        //Plays once.
    	 mySoundSystem.backgroundMusic("music", getClass().getResource(filename), filename, false);
        mySoundSystem.setLooping("music", true);
        mySoundSystem.play("music");
        
        //If looping is set to false, plays the first 6 seconds, then stops. If looping is set to true, it keeps looping the same 6 seconds.   
        mySoundSystem.newSource(false, "music", getClass().getResource(filename), filename, false, 0, 0, 0, SoundSystemConfig.ATTENUATION_NONE, SoundSystemConfig.getDefaultRolloff());
        mySoundSystem.setLooping("music", true);
        mySoundSystem.play("music");

        //Same as above.
        mySoundSystem.quickPlay(false, filename, true, 0, 0, 0, SoundSystemConfig.ATTENUATION_NONE, SoundSystemConfig.getDefaultRolloff());
   
        //Does not loop.
        mySoundSystem.quickStream(false, getClass().getResource(filename), filename, true, 0, 0, 0, SoundSystemConfig.ATTENUATION_NONE, SoundSystemConfig.getDefaultRolloff());

        //Plays once. queueSound does nothing.
        mySoundSystem.newStreamingSource(false, "music", getClass().getResource(filename), filename, true, 0, 0, 0, SoundSystemConfig.ATTENUATION_NONE, SoundSystemConfig.getDefaultRolloff());
        mySoundSystem.setLooping("music", true);
        mySoundSystem.queueSound("music", getClass().getResource(filename), filename);
        mySoundSystem.play("music");
            	
        while(true) {
    		if (mySoundSystem.playing("music")) System.out.println(mySoundSystem.millisecondsPlayed("music"));
    	}
    }
}

I actually managed to make the song loop manually, using the millisecondsPlayed() method, but the loop isn’t seamless
Any ideas or reccomendations on audio libs?

 myMusicSystem.backgroundMusic("sourcename", "music/mymusic.ogg", true); /* last parameter tells to loop */
#3

I tried that as well. Same results.

The mySoundSystem.setLooping(“music”, true); was just to emphatize it

#4

Well it just works here. Maybe the coded you’re using is failing to notify end of stream.
Which codec you’re using?

#5

CodecJOgg

But you are telling me it works. It got my hopes back :slight_smile:

EDIT: Switched to CodecJOrbis. No difference.

Another EDIT: Turns out it was JavaSound doing a poor work. Switched to LWJGLOpenAL and now it works flawlessly.
