Recommendations Sought

Java Sound & OpenAL
#1

Hi All, I’m looking for some advice.

I don’t know much about Java sound options other than how to use AudioClip. I’m doing a 2d game where I want samples played at various different volumes (which AudioClip doesn’t appear to support, and GageSound seems to have a global volume for all samples?).

What are the options? Is JMF any good? I looked at OpenAL, and that looks like overkill?

Please enlighten me :o)

Peter.

It wasn’t supposed to be a trick question? Does no-one have any recommendations or experience to share?

with javasound you can access the gain control of every clip.

search for FloatControl.Type.MASTER_GAIN in this forum, I think I’ve already posted on that topic (related to fade in / fade out sounds).

Ok, thanks - I got that going now.
