Controls the general sound settings, such as volume, speed of sound, the Doppler factor, sound adaptation and sound mixer channels. Settings can be loaded from a *.settings file or changed by the corresponding functions below.

In the *.settings file, the sound settings are stored in the <sound> section, for example:

Source code (XML)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings version="2.5.0.1">
	<sound>
		<scale>1</scale>
		<volume>0.8458</volume>
		<doppler>1</doppler>
		<velocity>340.3</velocity>
		<adaptation>0.01</adaptation>
		<attenuation>3</attenuation>
		<hrtf>0</hrtf>
		<source source="0" limit="2"/>
		<source source="1" limit="4"/>
		<source source="2" limit="4"/>
		<source source="4" volume="0.4"/>
	</sound>
</settings>

Usage Example

The following example shows how to load sound settings from the *.settings, change them and then save back to the sound settings file.

AppWorldLogic.cpp

Source code (C++)

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineApp.h>
#include <UnigineGame.h>
#include <UnigineLog.h>
#include <UnigineProfiler.h>
#include <UnigineSounds.h>

using namespace Unigine;

AmbientSourcePtr source;

int AppWorldLogic::init() {

	// load sound settings from a file
	Sound::get()->loadSettings("unigine_project/sound_settings.settings");

	// create a sound source that plays a sample
	source = AmbientSource::create("unigine_project/sounds/ambient_source.oga",1);
	source->setLoop(1);
	source->play();

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::update() {

	// enable/disable sounds in the scene
	if (App::get()->clearKeyState('z')) {
		Sound::get()->setEnabled(!Sound::get()->isEnabled());
		Log::message("The enabled flag is %d\n", Sound::get()->isEnabled());
	}

	// print the current speed of sound
	if (App::get()->clearKeyState('c')) {
		Log::message("Sound velocity: %f\n",Sound::get()->getVelocity());
	}

	// make the sound louder
	if (App::get()->clearKeyState('n')) {
		if (Sound::get()->getVolume() != 1.0f) Sound::get()->setVolume(Sound::get()->getVolume() + 0.1f);
		Log::message("The sound is louder %f\n", Sound::get()->getVolume());
	}

	// make the sound quieter
	if (App::get()->getKeyState('m')) {
		if (Sound::get()->getVolume() > 0.0f) Sound::get()->setVolume(Sound::get()->getVolume() - 0.1f);
		Log::message("The sound is quieter %f\n", Sound::get()->getVolume());
	}

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::shutdown() {
	
	// save the sound settings into the file
	Sound::get()->saveSettings("unigine_project/sound_settings.settings",1);

	return 1;
}

Arguments

const Ptr<Xml> & xml - Xml smart pointer.

Return value

1 if the sound state is loaded successfully; otherwise, 0.

void renderWorld(int force)

Forces update of the sound system: all sound settings will be applied at once (such as play, stop events and change of parameters). For example, if you have a sound sample playing and you want to update the time, from which the sample should be played, you can perform as follows:

Source code (C++)

AmbientSourcePtr sound = AmbientSource::create("unigine_project/ambient_sample.oga");
// ...
// check if the sound sample is playing
if (sound->isPlaying())
{
	// stop playing the sample
	sound->stop();
	// apply all sound settings (if they have been changed previously)
	Sound::get()->renderWorld(1);
	// update time
	sound->setTime(45.0f);
	// countinue playing the sample 
	sound->play();
}

sound->setTime() doesn't set time immediately to the specified value: it waits for the next update to do this. So, forcing update of sound system allows for setting time immediately.

Arguments

int force - 1 to force update of the sound system; otherwise, 0.

int restoreState(const Ptr<Stream> & stream)

Restores a sound state from the stream. The sound state includes such settings as the volume, velocity, adaptation, Doppler factor, time scale and number of sound sources and their volumes.

Warning

Return value

1 if the sound state is restored successfully; otherwise, 0.

int saveSettings(const char * name, int force = 0)

Saves the current sound settings to the given file.

Arguments

const char * name - Path to a sound settings file (*.settings).
int force - Force flag indcating if forced saving of sound settings is enabled.

Return value

1 if the sound settings are saved successfully; otherwise, 0.

int saveState(const Ptr<Stream> & stream)

Saves a sound state into the stream. The sound state includes such settings as the volume, velocity, adaptation, Doppler factor, time scale and number of sound sources and their volumes.

Warning

This function is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

Arguments

const Ptr<Stream> & stream - Stream smart pointer.

Return value

1 if the sound state is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.

Return value

1 if the sound state is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.
