Audio / setPitch() function only sets pitch up to a certain point

« on: April 17, 2022, 05:44:31 am »

when running setPitch() on a sound, the sound's pitch does not actually change. it should be noted that there are no errors in build log or build messages, and the issue still persists after rebuilding

#include <math.h>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "leh");

    note1.loadFromFile("notes/c.ogg");
    //a 1 minute sound file containing note C at octave 0
    pNote1.setBuffer(note1);
    pNote1.setPitch(pow(2, 0));
    //this should set the pitch of pNote1 to a c at octave 4
    //the actual heard note is much lower
    pNote1.play();

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

 

is there an upper limit to how much i can multiply a sound's pitch by?

i am using SFML 2.5.1 for GCC 7.3.0 MinGW (SEH) - 64-bit on windows 10 with code::blocks 20.03
