Can we free those memory?

[armzajetset]

I'm using IrrKlang. Everything seems fine when I play the sound. But there's one thing. The number of memory usage rocket up everytime the sound play.

Code: Select all

sp = Sfx->play2D(music);

Just load and play it. I've read something about "stop" but how to use it ?

This problem is affected to mesh file. When I load my level on the scene and change map (delete old scene) the memory usage doesn't decrease. Also AVI file when I play it for second time and memory usage is rising up! Am I do anything wrong with those pointer ?

This problem occur even in IrrKlang Example itself.

This is my full class of sound effect.

Code: Select all

class SoundEffect
{
	
public:
	ISoundSource* music;
	ISound* sp;
	bool is_stop;

	char *files;
	float Volume;
	// Set Sound
	void Load(char file[50]){
		files=file;
		music = Sfx->getSoundSource(file);
		Volume=1.0f;
	}
	void Del(){
		sp->stop();
	}

	// Stop Sound All
	void Stop(){
		Sfx->stopAllSounds();
	}

	// Play Sound
	void Play(){
		sp = Sfx->play2D(music);
		Sfx->setSoundVolume(Volume);
	}

	// Set Volume take 0-100 
	void SetVol(int rate){
		Volume=rate/100;
	}
};

Maybe just like

fx1.load(somefile);
fx1.play();
fx1.del()

????

IrrKlang question? IrrKlang forums.

I've made several attempts to compose an answer to this, but I'm not entirely sure what the problem is.

ISoundEngine::play2D() shouldn't be returning an ISound* (so your Del() method will crash). If it is returning an ISound*, then that's a bug in IrrKlang, at least according to its own API documentation. If it is returning an ISound*, then you must (again, according to its API) drop() it when you're done with it.

ISoundEngine::getSoundSource() apparently shouldn't be loading the raw resource multiple times, and shouldn't be dropped() but again, I'm not entirely clear on what's going on internally.

Sorry I'll explain this over again (sry again about my language. I'm not native speaker.) Here's example. When I play something like click sound (on my GUI, you know when the curser move or something like that.) First memory usage is at 4000 and then I move my cursor again it increase to 4004 and 4008 and so on ...

That may cause the crash when I move my cursor in huge number of times. My question is " is there a way to load sound into buffer just once and play it back again and again with no memory usage increasing ? "

Anyway thanks!!

I notice that you still haven't asked your question in the IrrKlang forum. If you're having trouble posting there, then you can contact Niko directly to let him know that there's a problem with the Ambiera forums.

I didn't ask because there's a thread which asking the same question. So I've put my queastion in that thread (once again).
