[Classic] No sound when compiling any program

6 years ago

I'm having a weird issue and couldn't find anyone reporting something similar in the past.

When I compile sketches on my PC and open them in Simbuino, they work normally with sound, but when played on the Gamebuino, there's no sound at all. I tried with a very simple program that just plays a sound, I tried to recompile existing games or demos - same result: I'm never able to get any sound to play on the Gamebuino. There's nothing wrong with my Gamebuino as it plays sounds on startup and anything that I don't compile myself (ie HEX files from the internet) is fine and plays sounds as expected.

I've set #define NUM_CHANNELS 4 in the Library settings file.

I've updated LOADER and SETTINGS to the latest version. Settings are the default ones.

Any help welcome!

I assume you also un-muted in the title screen? (hitting B)

Still weird that only the games I compiled myself appear to be on mute by default...

No, I didn't and it appears it might have just been because of that.

Thanks a lot anyway, I was getting very confused.

I might be because we changed how the volume is handled. The volume used to go from 0 to 3 and now it's from 0 to 8. To solve this you can compile the SETTINGS.HEX yourself, then adjust the default volume and save it. Tell me if that works :)

Thanks, recompiling SETTINGS seems to have done the trick, my programs run by default at full volume now.

Yep, I have noticed that too on the FIREBUINO game made by another community member.
I have that mute problem while he doesn´t.
