[abdogm]

i just freshly installed the game after compiling it and the sounds in game like this.

Screenrecorder-2024-05-25-05-44-33-904.mp4

is this a bug or something wrong from my end ?
and (if possible) what is the fix for it

Hi, please go to Termux and get to the screen that has the symbols ~ $ at the bottom, then type termux-info and push enter, and send the result here. This will show some information about your device.

Sorry for delay. What I would like you to try for me is, if you can, check out a specific commit of sm64ex-coop Beta 35 for Android from my repository. You can do that by going to a shell in izzy2fancy SM64 Builder Termux using the Ctrl + C button combination, then typing this

cd sm64ex-coop
git checkout 96e6e67
git submodule update --init --recursive
make distclean
make
cp build/us_pc/sm64.us.apk /storage/emulated/0

This will produce a beta 35 apk for you and then I would like you to do is uninstall your sm64ex-coop apk temporarily and install that one, then tell me whether you hear the same exact sounds or if the sounds are different at all in that version, on your device.
Thank you for helping and I know that's a lot of work to do so if it's too much you don't have to try that.

no need. it is the least i can do to help
and beta 35 still has the same issue
is it just me or you also facing it ?

Thank you, if you can, you should also try this method and check whether the sounds are also messed up for you in there. (reset your git repository back to normal with git checkout android first, if you have difficulty you can uninstall and reinstall the app). That should switch the game's SDL2 audio backend to PulseAudio for Android automatically within your Termux.

For my devices this problem doesn't happen. This problem is something that very rarely happens, or possibly only for your device.

Download the app-universal-debug.apk from here and use it to view the app's X11 window when you run those commands. Touch "Preferences" in Termux:X11 and set Touchscreen Input Mode to "Direct Touch" to use native multitouch controls within the app window.

this method has no sound issues
now what should i do next ?

[robertkirkman]

That's awesome to hear, thank you for checking, well, now you can try to play using that method, and if you have framerate issues or struggle with configuring it, tell me, and I know how to tweak its render API settings, and other settings, and can tell you. I'm sorry the SurfaceFlinger + AAudio backend for SDL2 is not working for you here but at least for now the X11 + PulseAudio layer is helping.

One other thing that has changed is that by doing that you also switch from using SDL 2.28 to SDL 2.30. SDL 2.30 has some AAudio improvements over SDL 2.28 so, fairly soon, when I bump the precompiled SDL2 for SurfaceFlinger + AAudio I provide here to a newer version, you might notice an improvement.
