so ive been updating stuff in my game and i updated to 4.0 and everything works as it should no issues with the exception of static on music
also seems to happen when lots of things are moving around and it gets super static.
if its 1 or two enemies i havent noticed it, only when well you see it in the video lol
i couldnt find anything related to this if i am wrong please point me there.
appreciate the assist.
thanks

also for the record i started updating in 2022 and then life got in the way and i lost the game along with 20 TBs of data, but recently was able to recover the game at least, problem is cant remember what version of the engine i was using then, i know the static was not present at all, but now it is in 4.0.
is not corrupted music files as its happening on newer tracks ive added and also i just dl the 4.0 a few days ago when i was able to recover the game.

logs as i dont know if that will help.

Probably volume. Prior to 4.0, the volume lied to you. Ostensibly it went to 256, but sound effect volume was capped to 64, partially to prevent this, but also gave less control. 4.0 removes the 64 cap.

I bet if we looked at your sound files, they're probably maxed out on amplification

Hi @AlexDC22. Like @DCurrent said, it looks like a issue with the sound effects volume. Considering the music volume I saw in the files you sent, I suggest to reduce all your audio files volume using an audio editor, plus changing to 22khz or 44khz 16bit format.

You can convert to .bor or extract from .bor format using this wavtobor app.

so after doing a test with no music to see if sounds would have to be toned down... it seems that yeah they do so am gonna try older engines as is just no way... still weird that only happens when lots of stuff is happening but not on few enemies at a time parts... doesnt make any sense to me lol

What v4 build are you using? There's some small improvements made in the sound code, please try this one and let me know if the issue persists.

Same as in older builds, usually the engine will mix all instances of the same sound when played at the same time, increasing the total volume. But now considering the 64 limit removal, we need to carefully adjust the volume in every sound file.

Glad it worked :)
In this case I suggest using only this build 7612, it contains many updates not present in the latest one officially launched.
