sound is broken for sims that have games #32

Closed pixelzoom closed 9 years ago

pixelzoom commented 10 years ago

This was originally reported for Graphing Lines (https://github.com/phetsims/graphing-lines/issues/40) on iPad2 with iOS 7.1.2.

While investigating, it was also found to also be a problem in Balancing Chemical Equations, Balancing Act and Fractions Intro. Sound works fine in non-game sims (e.g. John Travoltage). So this is presumably something specific to the audio in games, and may affect all games.

The problem is most likely with the audio files themselves (which were recently renamed and/or totally changed) or GameAudioPlayer.

I have not been able to reproduce this, but @amanda-phet can reproduce it consistently.

As reported in phetsims/graphing-lines#40 … The sim versions tested predate the changes made to vegas audio. And the problem persists after restarting the iPad and Safari.

Unable to reproduce on an iPad 2 running iOS 7.0.4.

This was discussed during the 7/24/2014 developer meeting, and it was decided that we should leave this issue open for a while in in case there are any other similar reports, but other than that to spend no further developer time to investigate.

@amanda-phet can you still reproduce this on whatever device you were using?

amanda-phet commented 9 years ago

I was not able to reproduce this when I tried yesterday. I was using an iPad2 running iOS 7.

@ariel-phet This might be worth having student testers evaluate.

This was tested in https://github.com/phetsims/tasks/issues/255, no problems found. Closing.
