Cannon Fodder intro samples gone??

Unread post by _javi_ »

War Has Never Been So Much Fun.. but those samples are gone! I only hear the tune, with no voice-overs.

Updated megaAgs, updated core, tried some different configs.. but i cant get the voices back.

Any clue how to fix it or what config is the reccomended one?

thanks a lot!

Strange. The voice samples are working fine here for me. I don't use any special settings, just a A1200+Fastram setting for the WHDLoad games.

Amiga plays 2 channels of audio in the left speaker, 2 channels in the right speaker. All the voice samples in Cannon Fodder are in the right-hand speaker, which means that they will be missing e.g. if you have a setup that only pulls from the left channel.

I’d look at the settings for the audio mixing in the MiSTer menu, and also if you are using any external audio equipment or TV that might just play the left speaker.

Mystery Solved!

If you set Stereo Mix to 0% in Audio&video settings, the samples vanish.

Rise the value and they appear. 100% and it's perfect.

(I obviously dont understand that menu option).

Thanks for your answers!

Thanks Limi! Your post entered as I was writing mine. Thanks for the explanation!

I get the voices with Stereo Mix 0%", so there must the speaker channel issue/setting on your side, like Limi said. Make sure you get real stereo out, and not single/dual mono or something.

That means whatever output mechanism you are using is only reproducing the left channel in your stereo setup, so probably worth figuring out, since this will affect many of the other cores too.

:shock: It was indeed an audio connector issue.

Thank you all for figuring this out. Now everything sounds as it should.
