Set pan on pause problem

FMOD Engine
1

Hello, we discovered an issue connected to setPan method. It doesn’t depend on particular platform. FMOD version is 2.02.22.
It works fine when a sound is playing. But if you call setPan for paused (setPaused method) sound it will be still with the old pan value.

Hi,

Thank you for the information.

Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the issue. Using our Core API Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Studio API Windows\api\core\examples\vs2019\examples.sln. I modified the play_sound example with the following:

/*
    Main loop
*/
do
{
    Common_Update();

    if (Common_BtnPress(BTN_ACTION1))
    {
        result = system->playSound(sound1, 0, false, &channel);
        ERRCHECK(result);
    }

    if (Common_BtnPress(BTN_ACTION2))
    {
        //result = system->playSound(sound2, 0, false, &channel);
        //ERRCHECK(result);
        channel->setPan(-1);
    }

    if (Common_BtnPress(BTN_ACTION3))
    {
        //result = system->playSound(sound3, 0, false, &channel);
        //ERRCHECK(result);
        channel->setPan(1);
    }

    if (Common_BtnPress(BTN_ACTION4))
    {
        bool isPaused = false;
        channel->getPaused(&isPaused);
        channel->setPaused(!isPaused);
    }

I just swapped the audio file to something longer for sound1. Would it be possible to test this on your side orlet me know if the issue persists or if I have misunderstood?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I’ve managed to reproduce the issue with your example. You need this example: api\studio\examples\ vs2019\examples.sln. There please replace file with mine and try (I replace the extension from cpp to txt to be able to upload it here).

Using the Studio API was the missing link. Thank you for the code, I have been able to reproduce the issue and have passed it on to our development team to investigate further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
