(solved) Can't get volume control to work.

[Two Dollars]

The sound files play fine, but I can't get the volume control to work.

Code: Select all

scene scene1image1
    # A residential neighborhood in New York City. It's early June and the heat
    # and humidity are already unbearable.
    play audio soundbible_cityambiance13196434 loop

scene scene2image1
    # The air conditioner grinds away.
    stop audio
    play audio soundbible_cityambiance13196434 volume 0.6 loop
    play audio danielsimon_ambianceairconditioner loop

Try a much smaller number, see if it shows up. The volume clause works with amplitude, while most of the rest of Ren'Py works with dB, and so you need big changes to matter. For example, try .1 or even .01, and see if it's working.

I tried .01 and no change in volume.

Hm... does it work if you only play the ambiance once?

It's also quite possible that the problem here is the use of the 'audio' channel. It's intended to be used for sound effects, not for loops like this, as it allocates a channel each time it's used. For testing purposes, try using the 'music' channel for the city amieance, and see if that helps.

Thank you! The volume command worked with the music channel.

It makes for a great transition going from inside to outside.
