Need help with sound volume

| When I use the ChannelVolume command it works fine if I set it to between 0.1 and 1.0 but, if I set the volume to 0 then the volume is set to full. Hmmm. Also, another thing, if a computer has no sound card I get an 'Error starting module bbaudiodriver' message. How would I get around this? Any help would be fantastic. Thanks. I am using blitz+ 1.35 |

I *think* (and guessing) that this is a known issue that will be (eventually) addressed. Right now, just use small values like 0.0001 to shut-up the sound. Or, use PauseChannel when the volume to set reaches null. if a computer has no sound card I get an 'Error starting module bbaudiodriver' message. How would I get around this? http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=264 Hope this helps, Sergio. |

| Actually, that doesn't work semar. ;here is my code voices=true If LoadSound(c:\Sounds\move.wav") = 0 voices=False EndIf This bit of code works OK, if the sound is found then voices remains True. But, if you disable your sound card from Device Manager (or use a computer with no s/card), you get the 'Error starting module bbaudiodriver' message. I think this error occurs even before any code is translated. If anyone has any Ideas then please help. Otherwise I will have to not use sound in my app which would be a shame 'cos I spent two weeks doing the sounds. |

| Otherwise I will have to not use sound in my app Will it actually work without errors if you don't use any sound then? That in itself is a lucky break. You could always have it as a config option. Hardly ideal, I know. Perhaps someone who knows more about such things than I can point you in the direction of a DLL call that will give you the ID of the soundcard, or lack of soundcard, or summat. |

| Yes it works fine with no sound thankyou very much. I have trapped every error I could think of. I left the sound 'till last so didn't come accross the problem until trying my program on a few computers at work, some of which have no soundcard. The DLL thing sounds like a good idea, maybe there's something stored in the registry too. I'll look into that. Tattaa fur naa. Dan. |
