musicvolume

i dont think musicvolume is working, i try all ways integer and decimal.

i set to 1, and midis started working incredibly, now they can never be turned back down to 0, its permanently stuck at max volume.

MusicVolume was used in my B'lox! game so it definitely works with certain music formats (on GP2X and pc). Perhaps it's just MIDI that has a problem?

[Hemlos]

well i seem to have a bug somewhere, i figgured out that the midi volume on desktop is being turned down to 0 randomly every once in a while. and none of my settings in the program have musicvolume 0
only musicvolume 1.

I'm having a problem whilst a WAV file is playing - using MUSICVOLUME doesn't seem to do much.

[Ian Price]

Erm, isn't that because .WAV is for generally considered for sounds, not music?

.WAV sound volume is controlled by PlaySound(Num, Pan, Volume).

I think PlayMusic is for .ogg, .MP3 et.c. Maybe you are using it for .WAV as well, which may be causing the problems. I dunno, I never use .WAV with PlayMusic.

[Hemlos]

Ian is correct; use this command library for *.wav format:

LOADSOUND
PLAYSOUND
SOUNDPLAYING
HUSH

[MrTAToad]

Unfortunately PLAYMUSIC always repeats the music, hence the reason I want to use PLAYSOUND.  Would still be nice if the volume could be changed whilst playing.

[Hemlos]

Ahh i see what you mean, good idea.




Post the PLAYVOL() PLAYPAN() idea

Personally, i would like to see all the sounds and controls for them merged, hence playsound and playmusic

[Ian Price]

Yes - perhaps adding an extra parameter to the PlayMusic command would be an idea

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

PlayMusic "XXXX.MP3",1

- 0 for non looping or 1 for looping?

I built an MCI_Library for all multimedia...

You can play midi once...

And it plays movies in fullscreen mode...

It plays wav files too, but i dont know if the MCI_Volume will work with it(it might)

WIN32 only (I think)
check sample zip's

MUSICVOLUME still doesn't work with midi files. Is there any way to regulate the volume with midifiles?

[Hemlos]

Please post an example of your volume code.

If im not mistaking it is a range of 0 to 1 (0.0 - 1.0), so you have to float it in a decimal?

You can also try this inline setup for midi...it has a volume control, but i think you need to activate the midi in the same fashion with this set of code:
