I've change the GUI to allow 2, 6 or 8 channels, and also changed the code to allow this. On my system, using ALSA, TDM crashes when trying to use 8 channels - my guess is the HW doesn't support this, however, it is a bit unclear why this results in a crash, and not an error and shutdown. Using OpenAL on Linux fails, as OpenAL support is not build in (due tue missing EAX, see bug 0003222). |

The code that resricted the setting to 2 or 6 speakers was in sys/linux/sound.cpp (OpenAL) and sys/linux/sound_alsa.cpp (ALSA). The code in sys/win32/win_snd.cpp (IDirectSound) does not seem to have such a restriction. Have you tried using IDirectSound as interface? |
|
|
Actually, the code in sys/win32/win_snd.cpp only handles the cases of 2 or 6 speakers. Does IDirectSound work for you? Then we could try to add 8 speakers there, too, and see if this works in IDirectSound at all. |
 |
no idea if it works for me. please advise on how to verify functionality |

That's a good question. I don't even see how this is ever used or enabled. Maybe when you turn openAL off, then it gets used in Windows? s_useopenal is the relevant CVAR. |
 |
Is anyone planning on working on this in the next few weeks? If not I'm going to remove it from the 2.0 list. |
 |
As I recall, Serpentine was planning a code merge with Dhewg's Doom 3 which includes a fix for this. At this time, I presume there will not be enough time to perform this merge before TDM 2.0? |
|
|
Serpentine hasn't been around for quite some time, so I would assume not. |
|
|
Tels is still working on this and eax issues for 2.0, and still awaiting Serpentine to get back. I'm doing testing with this issue as well. But tels hasn't been around either.... still, I'd leave this one alone for now. |
|
|
Tels unassigned all his bugtracker issues and hasn't logged into the forum for two months. I'm going to assume this won't make 2.0. |
