Unigine::Sound Class

Header:#include <UnigineSounds.h>

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 *.sound file or changed by the corresponding functions below.

In the *.sound 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 *.sound file, 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("sound_settings.sound");

	// create a sound source that plays a sample
	source = AmbientSource::create("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("sound_settings.sound",1);

	return 1;
}

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("ambient_sample.oga");
// ...
// check if the sound sample is playing
if (sound->isPlaying())
{
	// stop playing the sample
	sound->stop();
	// force updating of the sound thread
	Sound::get()->renderWorld(1);
	// update time
	sound->setTime(45.0f);
	// continue playing the sample 
	sound->play();
}
The sound thread is updated at 30 FPS, so the playback won't stop immediately, and, therefore, the a new time value won't be set. You need force updating of the sound thread after stopping it.

Arguments

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

int restoreState(const Ptr<Stream> & stream)

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 (*.sound).
  • int force - Force flag indcating if forced saving of sound settings is enabled.

Return value

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Xml> & xml - Xml smart pointer.
  • int force - Force flag indicating if forced saving of the sound state is enabled.

Return value

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