[ZMusic] fluid_samplerate doesn't have any effect.

Post by KynikossDragonn »

FluidSynth in ZMusic seems hardcoded to only run at 44100, but I run all my audio at 48000. If I have "Nearest" set as the resampler in OpenAL, FluidSynth becomes noticeably aliased.

I would expect "fluid_samplerate 48000" would cause ZMusic to run FluidSynth at that rate but it doesn't seem to do this... Setting the cvar in GZDoom and/or Raze and restarting the entire sound system produces no results, FluidSynth is started at 44100 Hz sampling rate regardless.

I'm running a ZMusic compiled with this commit that appears to still be the latest I've compiled recently.

The reason why this does not work is that ZMusic has a two-stage approach to sample rate, but GZDoom does not pass in its output rate so it always defaults to 44100, overriding the custom setting. ZMusic works as intended, the bug is on GZDoom's side.

But you really shouldn't run the "nearest" resampler as it creates lots of such problems with other sounds that are not as easily solved. Something will always get undesirable aliasing.

Oh... huh, so it has to be fixed in GZDoom/Raze itself?

For context: I use the "Nearest" when playing with original sounds (especially with Duke Nukem 3D and Blood), on some GZDoom mods I switch to Linear, in some rare cases I switch it to "bsinc24".
