Voicechat Stuttering/Choppy #5178

Open spankyyy opened 2 years ago

spankyyy commented 2 years ago

Protocol version 24 Exe version 2021.12.15 (garrysmod) Exe build: 21:16:15 Feb 7 2022 (8482) (4000) GMod version 2022.02.07, branch: x86-64, multicore: 1 Windows 64bit

Voicechat starts to get Choppy/Stutter after a couple minutes of playtime. This has been an issue ever since the introduction of a higher quality voicechat. Many of my friends have reported to have the same issue We all tried verifying our game caches but it didn't work "snd_restart" fixes the issue temporarily This has been an issue for 64bit and if I recall correctly it was also problematic for 32bit

Here is the output of voice_clientdebug while the bug is happening CVoiceStatus::UpdateServerState: no change CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 (x2) CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateServerState: no change CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 (x2) CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 (x3) CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateServerState: no change CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent -1 talking = 1 CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 18 talking = 0 CVoiceStatus::UpdateServerState: no change CVoiceStatus::UpdateSpeakerStatus: ent 4 talking = 0 (x2) CVoiceStatus::UpdateServerState: no change

ent -1 starts to "speak" whenever it is happening

How to reproduce: There is not actual way to reproduce but being in a crowded voicechat or having lower fps makes the bug appear more often and even sometimes a couple seconds after doing snd_restart

This has plagued multiple people on my server, myself included.

This issue is probably also related to https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/5008.

Surprised they've let this issue exist as long as it does without any mention that they're looking into it. Completely ruins the experience. This has been what... almost a year?

Is your server running on 32 or 64 bit? My suspicion is that it happens on 64bit clients only but maaaybe the server branch could also affect it.

Fasteroid commented 2 years ago

In my case both client and server are 64 bit.

Yeah I feel like that plays into it, it's hard to test but maybe 64bit servers cause it or increase its frequency. But that's also because I rarely play on 32 bit servers so I can't compare very well

Fasteroid commented 2 years ago

It happens on 64 bit server with 32 bit client as well. Just observed while working on web development in awesomium.
