Is it possible to fix audio output bug via mod? #54

Open bmy opened 1 month ago

bmy commented 1 month ago

I'm still getting that awful audio output bug on both Steam Deck and under WINE (Crossover) on Mac...basically the audio cuts out entirely, sometimes as often as every 60 seconds or so, until you manually re-select the sound output device in settings and press OK. The worst part is that this often triggers during cutscenes or long dialogue exchanges, meaning that you're required to pass through those parts of the game with no sound (because you can't access the menu to re-select sound output) and then can't go back. Kinda ruins the game! Let me know if audio output device re-selection at a regular interval might be possible to mod in...thanks for all your work on this! Fantastic stuff

Is this an issue with the game or your deck. Haven't seen many reports of audio stopping.

Give it a google if you’re interested? The audio issues with this game to date are widely documented, both the one I describe (which re-selecting output fixes) and the even more common one where volume is too low (even referenced here on this GitHub issues site), especially for spoken dialogue. And the fact that it occurs on multiple WINE platforms (at least for some users) means it’s certainly not unique to the Deck – not mine, and not the Deck as a platform

I get the low volume one myself and am not fond of the current "solution" being a third party audio management app. I've had to basically ditch my 5.1 setup and get it to output from the display, otherwise I'd never hear a single thing.

Merely asked because its a well known issue that after using another output device on the deck that output issues can arise just like you mentioned, altho I'm sure you've googled that and tried those fixes. Just was asking cause it fixed it for me.

Many people faced this audio cuts out bug (me too). It's really a awful bug, don't know what's the root cause or how to fix it.
