[SOLVED]Spatialization of sound in 2D game (SFML 2.0)
« on: November 05, 2012, 06:53:52 pm »
Hi I am having issues with spatialized sound in my 2D platformer. According to the tutorial
Quote
A sound can be spatialized only if it has a single channel, i.e. if it's a mono sound.

I believe my sound is stereo (.OGG format) so that would explain why the spatialization is not working. My question is: Can stereo sounds still work with the sf::listener class, particularly having sounds that are farther away played quieter? I have made a hacky work-around that calculates the sound volume based on distance from listener, but i'd like to use the built in SFML function if possible.

Thanks!

Thanks for the speedy reply Laurent, you confirmed my suspicions.

Next question: is there anyway to convert audio files to mono within SFML, or do I need to use external audio software?

Thanks again!

You must use an external software.
