Audio Pitch Crash on Opera
Yokinman opened this issue · 4 comments
For Opera browsers, setting the pitch of an instance of a sound below 0.1 caused a crash (this might not be the specific value, but it was around there). As in, audio_sound_pitch(audio_play_sound(snd, 0, false), 0.01).
You need to have a project to illustrate the problem - the smaller the better to show the problem.
Is this specifically the Opera Browser? or Opera GX? or are you referring to the GX.games target within GameMaker (that is not the HTML5 Runner).
HTML5 export played on an Opera browser yeah. I was pitching down a sound over time to make a neat effect essentially.
Chromium-based browsers will throw an exception if the playback rate for streamed sounds is outside of the range 0.0625-16.
Firefox will mute audio outside of the range 0.125-8.
Raised GM-6296 for some better handling and documentation of this quirk.
In the 2023.2 release, streamed sounds no longer use the node which was throwing this exception. They also now have the same limitless pitch range that unstreamed sounds have.
Closing this as completed.
