ISound::isFinished miss problem

[rocwood]

Great and easy engine. I love irrKlang.

However, I get puzzled, ISound::isFinished miss problem. irrKlang 0.5/0.6, msvc2005/2005sp1

PROBLEM:
When a non-loop sound finished playback, the ISound::isFinished always return false. Instead, its getPlayPosition() return 0 and getIsPaused() return true. Does it a bug or I missing something?

How could I determine whether it finished while track ISound interface in offcial way ?

Thanks very much.


This is a part of my code:

ISoundEngine* engine = createIrrKlangDevice();
ISound* sound = engine->play2D("../../media/bell.wav", false, false, true); //no-loop, no-paused, enable tracking
while(!sound->isFinished()) {
// do something blocked here
}

Strange, this should work. Going to check it. Maybe you could try out if it does work with the other sound output driver (specify another one via the first parameter when creating the sound engine)

Hi,

I also have the problem but less frequently: isFinished will first return correctly twice or thrice and then will miss.

When switching to ESOD_WIN_MM driver, I have not reproduced the problem.

Hope that helps.

[EDIT after a-sennov research] In my own situation, there is only one sound replayed each time it is finished. This is not reproduced with ESOD_WIN_MM driver.

Hi,

[Edit]
After some investigation it seems that if there are several concurrently playing sounds then only the one that was started last reports isFinished properly, others become "hanged".

[Edit 2]
The above is valid for ESOD_DIRECT_SOUND. ESOD_WIN_MM seems to work correctly.

Maybe this will help,

Ah, thanks for the details. Going to take a look at it. Maybe I should set win mm as default driver

Update: The bug has been fixed in irrKlang 0.7. Hope it works for you now.
