Is there a work around for the 0.96 device music volume bug?

HoneyTribeStudios

I'm about to release the first update for Honey Tribe. But I only just noticed that the device attributes - music volume doesn't work.

So even when the music volume is 0 the music still plays at a volume of 1. So that's messed up my mute audio button.

Does anyone know a work around? I really don't want to have to wait for 0.97. I went and put a screen in the release version saying the update with the extra levels will be available on Aug 1st...

I wasn't aware of a problem of the problem. Is your trouble with ad-hoc and final builds or just in the viewer? I ask this as I just checked the old 'music slider demo' I made and it still seems to work in the viewer and that uses changing game>audio>music to set levels.

Ok, that's strange. It's in creator preview, viewer and the ad hoc.

I've got a text attribute displaying the device music volume. So when it's 0 a play music attribute will play the music at volume 1. This is only since 0.96. And I hadn't changed any of my music rules since the release of the game using 0.95

(The device sound FX volume still works)

But if your volume slider is still working... I don't get it. Thanks for letting me know though.

It must be a combination of factors.

Dammit, as much as I like GS I hate it when stuff stops working properly when it used to be fine...!!!

The only fix so far is to add a change attribute in every scene that change volume to 1. Very annoying.

I really hope that for future releases GS will change their beta testing system because so far it seems that they're not testing enough their builds.

If anyone had the same problem I did:

Music is audible when play music attribute is used even when device volume is set to 0.

A fix was to put the play music attribute in a rule:

When device volume > 0
... play music
