LÖVE

Hello.

I'm currently having a problem where looping sounds will have a 1 or so second pause in between the loop finishing and it beginning again. My project uses looping sounds a lot, so I really need to solve this problem.

Here's the bare-bones code I've been using in attempt to find what I'm doing wrong, in which the problem persists: I've made sure there is no pause in the actual sound file, and I've also tried using TESound, but the problem persists with it too.

And here's the .love file along with the sound: http://puu.sh/XrO2 (If someone could confirm this problem isn't my PC, that'd be great)

This is a huge set back on what I'm trying to achieve, so I'd love any help at all, thanks!

Yeah, the WAVE decoder has issues. It's recommended that you use Ogg Vorbis.

You should be able to use Audacity to convert your files if you don't already have the means by which to do so.

I tested it and that seemed to be the issue.

Such as shame because the project I'm working on will have people needing to import sounds, so now they're gonna have to convert the sounds to .ogg first.

Thank you though! Saved me from going crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

I think the entire sound engine is kinda bad. No FLAC support, crappy looping, the only format that really works (not to say it's perfect) is the lossy OGG Vorbis, and it also freezes your game for a good 30 seconds if you play/stop sounds too often.

Would be nice if the sound system was more robust and work well with any sound format besides ogg vorbis.

mp3 works too and like you found out, people just need to use a proper encoder.

Complain all you want about the audio engine, Löve's major version number is 0. It will work one day; until the time comes soak up the lovely OGG waves.
