Subject: chromium: Sound effects quiet compared to music

Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 00:59:16 +0200

Package: chromium
Version: 0.9.12-4
Severity: normal

Playing Chromium B.S.U. results in a very low sound effects volume
(barely audible) and a very loud music volume.

This problem doesn't exist with the latest upstream version (downloaded
as a tarball and compiled from source from the main web site.) Had to
throw in a little #include <stdarg.h> into one of the files, but it
compiled fine otherwise.

I use a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 with the ALSA drivers.

Hmm.  Its funny, because I never noticed this before and yet that is
certainly true.

Well, its the same version as upstream's latest, the only difference is
that ours is compiled against the system's openAL libraries, where-as he
uses his own.  Doing a vanilla build of upstream's sources gives me a
sound error on load, so it wasn't 'fixed' for me by doind that.  I'll
have to look into what is causing this.

thanks for the report,

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I can confirm this bug, and that the game
would be more fun with audio effects :-)

thanks,
Joachim

Yeah, I know.  I've tried a couple of times to find out what is causing
this and haven't had much luck(mainly because I'm not very familiar with
the openAL api).  I will probably figure it out eventually, but its kind
of a low priority for me right now.  If you have any suggestions of what
exactly is causing it, or even better a patch(!), it would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Subject: Fix for chromium volume bug

Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 19:32:39 +0100

Hi,

after blind stabbing into chromium's OpenAL sources, I had a look at
SuSE's sources and found this hack. I dunno how bad it is, but it works:


src/AudioOpenAL.cpp lines 115-128:

                if(alAttenuationScale)
                {
                        audioScale[0] = 3.0;
                        audioScale[1] = 1.0;
                        audioScale[2] = 1.0;
                }
                else
                {
                        fprintf(stderr, "alAttenuationScale == 0. Kludge
it.\n");
                        audioScale[0] = 0.5;
                        audioScale[1] = 0.3;
                        audioScale[2] = 0.3;
                        alDistanceModel(AL_NONE);  // This line was added
                }

(no patch, as adding this line is surely not more hassle than looking at
the patch whether it looks sane and apply it)

Thanks,

Joachim

Thanks for this!  I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I should 
be able to get to it later this week.
