As mentioned in email, we’re waiting to see if the 3d example works ok, and we’ve tested it on our side with the latest code and it works.

I have a simular problem with version 42005.

I use createSound using these flags

FMOD_HARDWARE | FMOD_LOWMEM | FMOD_CREATECOMPRESSEDSAMPLE | FMOD_3D | FMOD_3D_WORLDRELATIVE | FMOD_3D_LOGROLLOFF | FMOD_NONBLOCKING

on a fsb file containing wave compressed with GCADPCM.

The 3D sounds gets louder and softer but there is no panning.

Brett, could you point out how to resolve the problem?

Ok, I’ve got some more information.

I got the 3d example working with panning.

When I use the same 3D locations for my sounds and listener in my application, then the panning works there too. However, when the listener is positioned with an x or z not equal to zero, the panning does not work anymore.

You can verify yourself in the 3d example by changing this line of code:

FMOD_VECTOR listenerpos = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };

to

FMOD_VECTOR listenerpos = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 5.0f };

Now listen to the sound, it is not panning anymore…left and right speakers are equal, only the volume gets softer/louder. Only for sounds played in FMOD_HARDWARE !

Can you please confirm if this is a problem in FMOD?

Hi,

I just did a test using hjeadphones to make sure, with the listener set to {0, 0, 5} and can still hear the panning, though it is more subtle, since the listener is further away.

The difference between hardware and software is probably due to differences in the fmod software mixer and the Wii’s hardware mixer.
