Hmmm. i tested it with my old DirectSound based sound library and the same wav file plays perfectly , no glitch no latency.

Media players gives correct result.
The issue i'm having is  like "shooting a machine gun" .The sound freezes and keep stuttering.
i came to the conclusion that this might be a hardware malfunction or something related to openAl
i will try tomorrow on an another old PC...

Updated the drivers , now the latency is gone , but that "scratched cd" effect is still there...
We use openal32.dll shipping with sfml. No idea what causes this.

Audio / sf::Sound extreme latency and glitchy playback

« on: July 01, 2014, 01:49:59 pm »

Hi ! We have decided to use sfml audio in our project , however on our older machine (3 ghz singlecore 1gb ram with WinXP SP3) all sounds effects are glitchy (i can't explain this really... its like playing an old scrached CD in the mp3 player)  and there's a very big latency before the sound actually starts playing...

From the other hand, on the newer machine (dualcore 4g ram... WinXP SP3) it works fine no glitches no latency...

The sound effects are small 2-3 scond wav files..
We're using :
- SFML-2.1 32bit (Dynamic libs)
- visual c++ 2008
- WindowsXP SP3

Any help appreciated ! Thanks
