Title: How many can be sounds in game?
Post by: Uncle_Mike on February 20, 2012, 02:50:21 pm

Hi guys.
I have many objects in my game, and to every object I attach 2 or 3 their sounds.
But not all objects  play their sounds...

There is an internal limit (set by OpenAL) of sound instances that can live at the same time. I don't remember the exact amount, should be 512 or 1024.

I found a solution.
If I use OpenAL32.dll from openal.org (file size 107KB), -  maximum sounds quantity in my game is near only 20!!!
 But  if I use OpenAL32.dll from SFML (file size 205KB), -  everething is OK! Maximum sounds quantity is very large!!!
Why??? :)))

Where would you even need 20+ sounds simultaneously?
