I was wondering if this is something that has been noticed before. Between frames, my background music sample loop stops playing sometimes, but not at any specific frame, just in between random frame changes. Is there any work around for this that someone has found?
i'm currently experiencing this right, now D:< very frustrating, it's like the "play sounds over frames" sumtimes works & sumtimes doesn't. annoyingly i can't seem 2 recreate it in a simple example to post. it works fine on the pc, it's just a problem on iOS making me think it's a bug
What type of file are you using for the sound? I don't have issues with OGG files
i'm using MP3 files. i wud ideally want to use OGG files so i could loop them seamlessly but the iOS exporter doesn't compress the OGG files, it actually expands them to ridiculous WAV file size so a build that wud be 5mb with MP3 ends up as 20mb with OGG, this really needs to be sorted.
has anyone found a fix for the music cutting out between frame changes?
i've FINALLY recreated the sound bug, u can download the MFA here. (remember u have to test it on iOS because it works on PC)

i've submitted a bug report. hopefully they fix it soon, but interested to know if anyone has found a work around?
Not really a sound bug, MP3 files are terrible to loop in iOS and you should never try to do it. This is a problem in iOS in general.

Please note this on your bug.
INCORRECT, IT IS AN iOS EXPORTER BUG!
thanks for the reply keith, but i have to disagree with u here & won't be making a note, as the problem is not an ios problem, it's a clickteam ios exporter problem. for one, the problem is not the actual looping or the gap in looping, i had an issue with that but i sorted it & got mp3s to loop seamlessly. but that wasn't the actually original problem of this thread, the original problem was that wen u jump from one frame to the next under certain conditions, the music sample just cuts out completely. if u download my example i left on the bug tracker, u can see how it plays in fusion, but cuts dead in ios (whether the sample is looping or not). its something to do with the way clickteam has coded the sound channels. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR BUG & one that is ruining my game, so i shall hear no excuses >:D lol
Out of curiosity does the symptoms change if you use different formats like WAV or OGG?
Hey Jeff :) to satisfy your curiosity i have just tested & can confirm that the bug happens in all formats. Please get Anders on the job ;D
i had some issues with sound files that i fixed by always playing on a different channel... try it and see if it helps
Thanx for the reply tuna :) i tried this along the way & it sorta seems to work, but because of the way the sounds and music are structured in my game there are points where i need to play them on the same channel, & i need to do this because of other fusion audio issues D:< "when u need a fix for the fix" X) i'm sure it not that hard to make 2 different musics play on the same channel one after the other without muting. anyways it's in my bug report http://bugbox.clickteam.com/issues/3343
Yay! finally fixed! Thanx Yves :D
