IrrKlang Polyphony? [Number of Sounds at Once]

Post by Gabumon »

Hey All,

I tried my graduation project, with irrKlang rather then FMOD today, and I have to admit the early results are impressive.

My question is, how many sounds [particularly 3D sounds] can irrKlang play at once?

Is there a limit, what is it, and can that limit be queried and changed?

Thanks in advance.

Peace

Staque

For the software drivers (WinMM, ALSA, you can specify this as first parameter in the createIrrKlangDevice() function), there is no limit.

For DirectSound, this depends on the DirectSound implementation (driver, operating system), but from irrKlang's side, there is no limit as well.
