Sdl Mixer Help Please!

[iatneH]

Hi, I've just started adding sound effects to my project, and it seems like SFX are severely delayed, like ~0.3 or 0.4 seconds after it is triggered.

I have this

Mix_OpenAudio(22050, AUDIO_S16, 1, 1024);

early on, and then play a sound with something like this

Mix_PlayChannel(-1, coin, 0);

e.g. when I press a button to insert a coin. Other things like explosions etc. are way late too.

The samples themselves are 22050 Hz, 16 bit, mono .wav files.

Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

Try reducing the buffer size from 1024 to 512

512 is still often too big. I find 128 works best.

128 gives me distorted sound in the PC build while 256 seems to be fine. Will it be fine on the gp2x? (currently dont have my gp2x with me).

I use 128 on gp2x and 4096 on pc.

128 works fine on the GP2X and if you need to just #ifdef around your MY_LOCAL_BUFSIZE #define for your target (PC /GP2X) platform so you can use 512 on your PC ..

good to know, cheers..

Thanks for the responses guys! Looks like 128 has done the trick.

I use 128 on gp2x and 4096 on pc.

The funny thing is, I copied/pasted that line of code (with the 1024) from an old sdltest of yours and changed the first 3 fields

Thanks again everyone!
