Audio / Delay when using sf::Sound
« on: October 31, 2013, 07:28:37 pm »
Hi,
I am getting a large delay (about 0.2 seconds) when trying to play a sound using sf::Sound.
I am using SFML 2.1 with Ubuntu 13.10 Linux in VirtualBox, with a MacBook Air running OSX 10.9 as the host. I tried installing XCode 5 and SFML 2.1 on the OSX directly and then there is no appreciable delay. I am pretty confident at this point that my program is correct (it's a simple test and I am a competent programmer, plus it works fine on OSX, as I just explained). So it must be something with the OpenAL driver in my Linux installation , or something of that sort (and this is the type of thing where I am not competent at all).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or where to even begin to look? I will continue programming on OSX for the time being, but I really like programming on Linux much better, and it would be nice if SFML 2.1 could be used in my VirtualBox setup.
Thanks!
