Bad sound playing

[ChronicRat]

I have a sound with sand rustling, but in SFML it sounds like (clap?) Sorry, i don't know how to call this sound. I thought it's my fault, then I tested it in SFML Sound example with the same result. Or may be it is OpenAL's fault?

My guess would be that you are running into this issue: https://github.com/SFML/SFML/issues/310
Easiest fix is to simply reencode your sound and ensure that samples are normalized.

I tried with converted to wav 22KHz mono - same result. Or this is not enough? Last versions of OpenAL and libsndfile not given effect too.

[Jesper Juhl]

The issue is not mono vs stereo, nor the sample rate (22Mhz or other). It's the range of the individual samples.

[ChronicRat]

Yeah, but i hoped that converting process will clamp samples.

22Mhz

Are you going to kill someone? =)

22Mhz

Obviously a typo

You know, if you want anyone else besides you to test it, you should provide a minimal and complete example and if that's about the same issue as in your project thread, then I guess it's still the issue of playing the sound too fast one after the other.

I tested it in SFML Sound example with the same result.

I think all of us here have this minimal and complete example.

22Mhz is how much frequency

I played back your sound file in a media player (i.e. not using SFML) and it still sounds like a clap. If it's supposed to be rustling then your sample rate is too high. You can play it slower in SFML by reducing its pitch. You might instead want to alter it to the correct rate in a sample editor.

EDIT: The sample you attached is a clap-type sound. There is no rustling in it. If you want a rustling sound, you should use a rustling sample
