THE SOUND BUG IS SO ANNOYING!!!

Hymloe

HOLY LORD MARY!

I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!

I downloaded Audacity, and tried saving to LOTS of different formats. Nothing. Always get MUSIC and no SOUNDFX.

Then I tried CAF ULAW and CAF ALAW, and they work!! They work in the Game Salad normal game preview viewer thing.

YES!

To save in these formats, just download Audacity for free here...
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_mac

And click File > Export,
then in the Format dropdown box, select "Other uncompressed files",
then select the Options button, select...

Header: CAF (Apple Core Audio File)
Encoding: A-Law or U-Law.

Then, proceed to rock the casbah.

All the best, and now I'm happy. Geez that was an ordeal.

Awesome to hear Hymloe! I have the same configuration as you and have been experiencing the same exact issues. Our Core Duo macs are considered "vintage" according to Apple, so we'll have to make due until GS devs fix this or we just upgrade

Thx for sharing your findings.

Well, I guess that's a solution. But the need to go through all that is one of the reasons I'm disillusioned about GS lately.

Hi JPickard (or anyone),
Any chance you could email me a Project file (small) with a single sound in it that doesn't work?
Been doing lots of tests to simulate the problem, but all OK our end.

Hiya Wayne, honestly for me it's any in the new section on the dashboard. I can count the number of ones that work so far on one hand minus 3 fingers

I've got the same problem, sound doesn;t play at all on GS.9.85 on Macbook Intel dual core. Never happened earlier, probably the update.

JPickard

Guru, well on my coreduo imac the only thing that worked is Hymloe's solution. I really really wish they would fix this. arghhhh.
