Sometimes missing music and briefing voices
Hi everyone. First of all, great work with the upgrade for my favourite space combat series. But I notice that some of the briefing voices are missing. For example, voices on some of the briefing screens (usually after the first one) cant be heard. Also, some of the ingame music is sometimes missing (the idle/calm music in particular). Curiously, restarting the mission usually restores the music. Tried changing the preload sound option or the various audio hardware settings but still no luck. I've running OpenAL 1.1 w/ 3.6.9 RC6. Tried reading up on the forum, but couldn't find a solution. These are minor problems anyway but any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

:welcome:

The ambient music issue is known and in Mantis:

The voices thing might be related, but we're aware of the sound issues.  But thanks for bringing them to our attention. :)

Re: Sometimes missing music and briefing voices
I also get all the problems he described. It seems that only some people are running into these issues though. Not sure what the common link could be. I don't think it's hardware related, as it happens on multiple computers for me.

Regarding the ambient/idle music, restarting the mission generally works but I have one in which I can't get the ambient music to play no matter what.

I don't get music much at all, an occasional track and that's it.

Hmm... good thing mine's not that severe \ :p. Anyway, the missing idle tracks seem to occur more often in the mission simulator, but not sure. Also, thanks for the quick reply.

Re: Sometimes missing music and briefing voices
I'm getting the same problem myself only it is really bad in briefings and the mainhall. I'm seeing the same error Goober reported in Mantis in the debug spew but I haven't tried tracing it out to see if the cause is the same.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
