Specific Issue: TPCAST + Rockband VR = Terrible Sound Quality #919

Open light4speed opened 6 years ago

light4speed commented 6 years ago

This issue isn't really Revive specific (More of a TPCAST issue) but, I believe this effect is similar to issue #554 in the way that Rockband translates to vive input and output audio devices. It seems that changing the audio source in steamVR has no effect on Rockband and instead it defaults to USB audio? On the TPCAST the USB audio is highly compressed and filtered so any audio just sounds terrible.

This post is more to see if there has been any progress digging into the MIC issue and if so possibly this audio issue.

I understand if this an infeasible issue or just not worth investigating but, just wanted to put it out there.

Thanks, CrossVR!

Revive always picks the default audio device for input and output when the game queries for the audio device. The results will be cached however for performance reasons, so make sure you have the correct audio device selected before you start the game.

Anything other than device selection is beyond the control of Revive and entirely up to the game.

Unfortunately I can't test the Mic issue without a rockband controller.

Well I always have HDMI selected as the audio device even before the I start the game, so that can't be the issue. I'd be interested in ordering you a controller if possible, however do you already own the controller adapter?

Can you try changing the sampling frequency for the Vive microphone to 48000Hz? You can do this going to your recording devices, go to the properties of the Vive microphone and open the advanced tab. There you can change the default format to 48000Hz.

After changing both the HDMI audio and vive mic input to 48000Hz, the game audio does sound significantly better (Only very slightly filtered on the TPCAST). The microphone still doesn't work on this setting however.
