[Audiere-users] Audiere on Vista

[Jens Bergensten]

Hello

We are having problems getting audiere to run on Vista. Our games simply
stops responding as soon as we attempt to play a wav or mp3. It works fine
on Win2k and WinXP, though. Anybody else with the same problem?

Example project can be found here (no source, though):
http://www.oxeye.se/files/Harvest.rar

Sincerely,
Jens Bergensten

We've been having that problem here at IMVU too, and we're looking
into it... no news yet.

We're playing ogg files, and initially the game took forever to create new
sounds, but after upgrading to the latest audiere version, things are fine.

Enno.

Same: yesterday we updated to 1.9.4, and Vista problems have seemingly
gone away.

Weird.

The reason the game took so long to load sounds before was that the DS
device's update method held the device's lock while it was sleeping,
only releasing it briefly between iterations of the main loop. So the
device's lock was held much more than it needed to be. This was a bug I
observed and fixed between 1.9.3 and 1.9.4; I had also noticed that it
was taking a long time to load many sounds.

As for the Vista problem, I don't really know what's going on there.

Makes sense. I did notice that change in the comments. I wonder if
Vista has a new scheduler.

It would be interesting to run CodeAnalyst, VTune or something
equivalent on that and see where and why it idles so much. I'd give it a
shot but I've no longer got a working vista install (Hah! good riddance).

Enno.
