Hello, I’m a musician and software dev trying out some different WebGL and WebAudio frameworks for future art projects. I like Babylon.js a lot but I’m getting audio glitches in the 3d spatial sound playground examples @ https://doc.babylonjs.com/how_to/playing_sounds_and_music . I’m on a 2 year o…

[image] docEdub: I’m getting audio glitches in the 3d spatial sound playground examples @ Play Sounds and Music - Babylon.js Documentation . I’m on a 2 year old Windows 10 gaming PC and I don’t have any trouble with other frameworks so I’m thinking it’s a bug in Babylon.js which is a bummer beca…

I think you are correct. What I heard initially at Babylon.js Playground seems to be a bad fade out in the audio sample being used, and now that I’m listening more closely to other demos and examples I’m hearing lots of glitches on every framework based on WebAudio on both my Mac and my Windows mach…

Is it a random audio clipping (when it shouldn’t be clipping) noise? I’ve noticed the same thing, and I’m on OSX. It seems to happen the worst when I a game scene is loading up, and the soundtrack starts playing. If I kill the soundtrack and leave just my ambient noise layer which is really soft, I …

I pinged the team working on webaudio here at Microsoft. We will see :slight_smile: I slightly reduce the speed I update the position and orientation (you can control it with scene.audioPositioningRefreshRate which is 500ms by default now)

Thanks, the new scene.audioPositioningRefreshRate property seems to reduce the number of glitches but they’re not gone. I also tried using different buffer sizes and sample rates when creating the AudioContext , but maxing out the buffer size on Chrome doesn’t help, even to 8000+ samples! Here is an…

Here are some A-Frame examples using Google’s Resonance Audio that run silky smooth no matter how fast I move the mouse! This makes me think the issue is in the web browser’s pan nodes since Google Resonance Audio doesn’t use the pan nodes. It basically creates it’s own pan node. [edit] If I move …

In my case I still hear glitches without using any panning or spatial sound, when just playing static soundtrack and or ambient noise, so I don’t think panning is entirely to blame. Especially since I am using spatial audio for the SFX but once the game loads, cpu settles down, and gpu starts workin…

[image] docEdub: might try hacking a Google Resonance Audio node into a Babylon.js sound component to see what happens. Excellent idea!

might try hacking a Google Resonance Audio node into a Babylon.js sound component to see what happens. Excellent idea! I got a Google Resonance Audio hack working and it runs smooth as glass. No glitches in the orbiting cube playground example . I gutted a lot of the Babylon.js audio system to…

Hello we have a doc to help you contribute: https://doc.babylonjs.com/how_to/how_to_start I truly appreciate your willingness to contribute back… This is pretty rare !

Thanks. The “Start Contributing to Babylon.js” page will be helpful. Right now I’m wondering where to add the code needed for integrating Google’s resonance audio SDK. Does something like that belong in the BabylonJS/Extensions repository? Would it go in the main BabylonJS/Babylon.js repository? Som…

OK, no problem. Looks like A-Frame + Three for my project in the short term then. I’m happy to offer a small financial incentive to bring Babylon + Resonance Audio forward - if that would help.
