Hey there. I’m having an issue with audio cutting out “randomly” as I play, and profiling/debug shows that my total channel count grows until it reaches the set limit, then things start cutting out. The odd thing is that I am most definitely releasing my instances after stopping them, but they just…

Using the profiler, t have noticed that calling stop twice doesn’t fully terminate the event instance, leaving some resources active. To address the issue, you could consider using a Command Instrument . Placing it at the end of the clip and set the command type to Stop Event - Immediate. This ensur…

Figures I’d start finding what’s wrong as soon as I post here, but I’m still not sure on the proper way to do this. [image] The issue was that the events use a sustain point to play a start and stop sound for the event, but when you press stop, the timeline never actually stops. I assume I’m just…

Hi, Thank you for the screenshots and the information. Could I grab the exact integration version you are using? [image] [image] [image] Janooba: I assume I’m just not doing this “the right way” so what would the right way to wrap a loop with a start and stop one-shot be? Could you elab…

Hey Conner, sure thing. [image] I honestly expected the timeline to automatically go from “stopping” to “stopped” after the playhead had moved off of the last clip in the timeline. But overall, the event is supposed to encompass a car’s engine. So when you press play, it plays a one-shot of the …

Thank you for the explanation. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue. I think it may be solved by adding var keyOffResult = _engineEventInstance.keyOff(); to your stop function to allow the event to fade out as expected. However, I would prefer to test it with your project if that is poss…

Absolutely. I’ll do you one better and make a minimum repro project with just this case in it. I’m not sure where best to upload it, so I have it on my personal CDN here: http://zipline.janooba.com/u/fmodRepro.zip All you need to do is: Open event:/Mercedes/Mercedes_Engine Press Play and let ru…

Thank you very much for creating that so quickly! Would it be possible to upload the project to your profile here: https://fmod.com/profile#uploads .

Hi, since Connor is away, I will be continuing the investigation. Thank you very much for uploading the project, that’s really helpful. [image] Janooba: I honestly expected the timeline to automatically go from “stopping” to “stopped” after the playhead had moved off of the last clip in the ti…

So then I would have to call stop twice it seems, once to trigger the stopping effect, then again to stop it completely later, does that sound correct?

This solution should work! Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for the screenshots and the information.

Could I grab the exact integration version you are using?

Could you elaborate on the expected behaviour for the event?

Thanks for the info
