Net sound problem

[Clog]

Hi guys,

Since the last update, I have a small problem ; I don't hear the sound of the net anymore. So when the ball is really in the net, it's no big deal even if it's really weird, but when the ball only touches the net but still is in the court, that becomes really bad. Since I've installed the AO Sounds pack from Lucian, I've tried to replace the "net" file by the original one, but still nothing.

Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hey buddy!

I advice you to first check your sound.ini and make sure you find "NET.wav" on the line "sound09".

Other more simple solution: play with my sounds.

It's usually isolated issues related to system and drivers, happening when using stereo samples with TE.

quoting an answer from Manutoo :

Elias,
my guess would go to an issue with sound drivers, maybe linked to too much sounds playing at the same time.
Possibly, check that all sounds FX are mono, not stereo.

TE Engine does very little bit about sound FX ; most of the loading is handled by Windows, & then the sounds are sent to DirectPlay for playing, so not much can go wrong in the middle, so usually issues are at start with the data or at end with the drivers / system...
Strike sounds are panned ; so if they're stereo, maybe it gives some issues with some systems.

In previous ITST mod, all sounds, umpires, grunts, strokes, were mono, Vanilla samples are mono as well. In 1.13 most of them are stereo, wich is probably why some systems may have some issues.

While making umpire sounds mono doesn't feel much different, strokes converted to mono definitely doesn't renders as good, thus it's a difficult choice, especially as very few people have issues.

I'll probably build a separate installer with different sound packs install options (giving options to install pre-1.13 sounds, post 1.13 ITST sounds, different umpires, El Croato soundpacks, etc), allowing everyone to customize the sounds easily.
