Sound problem

Anyone else get fluctuating sound? I think it's the pitch that's changing for me, though I've noticed when other sounds are playing it can also sometimes go tinny sounding too.

'Tap '2' a few times, the sound plays fine. Tap '1' a few times to play the same sound with a random
'rate, then tap '2' again, the pitch fluctuates (it shouldn't?)

Global s:TSound = LoadSound("yoursound.wav")
Graphics 800,600,0
Repeat
	If KeyHit(KEY_1)
		Local chan1:TChannel = PlaySound(s)
		SetChannelRate chan1,Rnd(.8,1.2)
	End If
	
	If KeyHit(KEY_2)
		Local chan2:TChannel = PlaySound(s)
	End If
	
	Flip
	Delay 5
Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)

I get the same but I reckon it's because you're allocating a new channel everytime you do the PlaySound and because there's only a finite number of channels available you'll get some re-use eventually.

This works but note that it'll cut of the existing sound when a new sound is played (non polyphonic).

'Tap '2' a few times, the sound plays fine. Tap '1' a few times to play the same sound with a random
'rate, then tap '2' again, the pitch fluctuates (it shouldn't?)

Global laserfire1:TSound = LoadSound("yoursound.wav")
Global chan1:TChannel = AllocChannel()
Global chan2:TChannel = AllocChannel()

Graphics 800,600,0
Repeat
	If KeyHit(KEY_1)
		PlaySound(laserfire1,chan1)
		SetChannelRate chan1,Rnd(.1,1.9)
	End If
	
	If KeyHit(KEY_2)
		PlaySound(laserfire1,chan2)
	End If
	
	Flip
	Delay 5
Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)

It can't be just that, try this. Tap '1' 2 times, then tap '2' a few times, it's worse! :)

Global laserfire1:TSound = LoadSound("data\laserfire1.ogg")
Graphics 800,600,0
Repeat
	If KeyHit(KEY_1)
		Local chan1:TChannel = PlaySound(laserfire1)
		SetChannelRate chan1,Rnd(.8,1.2)
	End If
	
	If KeyHit(KEY_2)
		Local chan2:TChannel = PlaySound(laserfire1)
		SetChannelRate chan2,Rnd(1)
	End If
	
	Flip
	Delay 5
Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)

I think there are still issues with the sound module. My sound quality deteriorates over a period of time, it's like the buffer is becoming overloaded and the sounds begin to stutter.

Tim, yeh exactly what I'm getting! My sounds eventually start to sound like all the bass/treble is filtered out or something.

I'll throw it in bug reports.
