Sound not working at all - crashes armory

bkumanchik · August 18, 2019, 6:19pm

I’m running Blender 2.8 (8/18/2019) and Armory 2019.8.0

I can’t get sound to play, I have tried .ogg, .mp3 and .wav files, they play in browser but not Krom.

I’ve tried both Play Speaker and Play Sound.

The sound is broken in Krom. Even if you could make the sound to play it plays delayed for almost a second. Only after I compiled the game with Visual Studio it works well.

I got sound working in Krom and Browser by making custom sound nodes based on the Sound Haxe example. There was no delay. Win 10 GTX 1060 6GB i5 6500 Firefox

I don’t know how to make a custom node

bkumanchik · August 19, 2019, 3:07pm

Can we get your custom node?

My environment is windows10, blender2.8, armory2019.8.

I checked with sound.blend of armory_examples.

Clicking the play button (or pressing the F5 key), there was no problem with the sound function in Krom or Browser.
If you press the a key, the sound is played, and the sound is randomly changed by left-clicking the mouse.

Next, click the publish button to create an executable file and launch it, but no sound was played.
The target of publish is Windows (Krom).
For HTML5, the server could not be prepared and could not be confirmed.

In summary, for me, clicking the play button doesn’t cause any problems. There is a problem when launching a published executable file.

Which way do you check? Is the situation the same as me or is it different?

It was playing delayed in Krom no matter how I check it. Both compiled or launched with a play button it did the same. In the browser, it played much better but you still would notice the delay. Only after I compiled it with Visual Studio it played 100% fast for the human ear.
After I updated Armory SDK it doesn’t play in Krom at all now.

In my case, there was a sound delay when I clicked play.

I was able to play it.Sound delay comes out.

It seems that bugs entered between 2019.8 after armory0.6.

Musa · August 22, 2019, 2:28pm

I installed blender Blender 2.7 Armory, and the sound still plays with delay too. But if on 2.8 the sound would wait approximately for a 1 second before play, on 2.7 it waits only about half a second.

Editing failed and necessary sentences were deleted. The part in bold.

After listening to this and publishing with armory0.6,
I was able to play it.Sound delay comes out.

It seems that bugs entered between 2019.8 after armory0.6.

I think there are two sound related bugs in armory2019.8.

Sound playback is delayed.
Sound does not play when publishing with Krom.

I should have noticed earlier, but the bug of “2.” was reported on GitHub.

Sound Broken on Krom Windows 10 when updating the SDK ArmorySDK1908 to the latest SDK in Blender

opened 04:03PM - 09 Aug 19 UTC

**SHORT DESCRIPTION:** sound stop working when using Krom in Blender2.8 after …updating the SDK ArmorySDK1908 in Blender. **FULL DESCRIPTION** a project with a sound (Audio.play(); ) will not emit any sound in Blender 2.80 when using the Krom renderer (using F5). Please note the sound works fine when exporting in Html5 instead of using Krom. It worked fine before with only the SDK1908 : ArmorySDK1908.zip. it seems like it is when updating to the latest/lastest SDK that Krom is loosing its sound features. **EXPECTED RESULT:** Play a sound. **ACTUAL RESULT:** No sound at all **STEPS TO REPRODUCE:** Steps: Install official Blender 2.80 for windows64 bits Install Armory as a plugin for Blender using ArmorySDK1908.zip Update Armory SDK in Blender Test in Krom or export to Krom 3.Play sound 4.No sound **TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:** Blender 2.80 (sub 75), branch: official master, commit date: 2019-07-29 14:47 renderer: 'Intel(R) HD Graphics 620' windows 10 pro version 1903

Even if the bug in “2.” is resolved, the possibility that the bug in “1.” remains is high.

the sound delay bug is also reported on GitHub, but not yet fixed

Sandy · September 2, 2019, 1:43pm

After trying armory2019.9, the sound was played in the published Krom.

Although it is not a strict confirmation, it sounds to me that the problem of sound delay has been solved.

bkumanchik · September 4, 2019, 2:29pm

It’s still not working for me.

Sandy · September 5, 2019, 2:36pm

”9” was announced recently instead of “8”. Doesn’t sound play even if it is used?

What is your OS?

Is there no sound when you use the Play button? Or is there no sound when running a published Krom? Are both the same results?

How about in armory_examples sound.blend?Press the “a” key, the sound is played, and the sound is randomly changed by left-clicking the mouse.

It may be easy to understand if you attach a node image or a blend file.

bkumanchik · September 5, 2019, 3:28pm

Works in browser but not Krom (published or not).

I will send the .blend file when I get home this evening.

bkumanchik · September 5, 2019, 9:57pm

play sound.blend (696.4 KB)

You’ll need to add a sound I wasn’t able to upload it

Sandy · September 6, 2019, 1:08pm

When I set the speaker, I was able to play sound with Krom.It was nice to have a blend file provided.

* Addition: If you want to specify a sound file that has already been set in another way in step 5, you can use the “Browse” button, but if you want to set a new sound file, select from the adjacent “Open” button.

Was the sound file set from the video sequencer? Speaking of which, I feel that the manual did not describe how to add sound files.

bkumanchik · September 6, 2019, 4:51pm

I’ve tried it both ways, it’s still not working for me with Krom (published or not) it hasn’t worked right for a while. I love Armory but I’ve been a little frustrated with how slow it’s been updated while Armor Paint gets lots of love.

I really want to use it for a real app but it just still needs too much work. It is a very promising game engine that is beautifully integrated with Blender.

M_Ent8h · September 6, 2019, 6:57pm

Did you try with the examples/templates to see (or rather hear) if they work? I’m not sure how the sound works in Armory, but I would start by looking how it’s done in an existing example.

Also, with the first part I think very similarly, but the love is directed by the funding; Armory is underfunded in comparison to Armor Paint, so no wonder the focus has moved to Armor Paint. Although Krom/Kha and derivatives still get work done over and that still benefits Armory indirectly, so development is not completely stalled.

Sandy · September 7, 2019, 12:42pm

My explanation was a little lacking.It seems that the sound file format must be “.wav” or “.flac”.
https://github.com/armory3d/armory/wiki/sound

I had confirmed that the sound would sound in the “.wav” file.
After confirming again with the “.mp3” file, it was confirmed that an error occurred when Krom was used, and no sound was played even if speaker settings were made.
I think that sound can be reproduced even in Krom by setting the speaker using the “.wav” file.

I think this is very important to isolate the problem.

I’m the same “just a user who likes Armory”, but I think that Armory needs the same amount of love as ArmorPaint in order to be updated as often as ArmorPaint.
