Re: Mac sound on level 2

In Response To: Re: Mac sound on level 2 (Twrch)

: I did the same thing. I am positive I removed every command that seemed to
: have to do with music. I even removed the commands that related to ambient
: sounds also.

: So I don't know where that leaves us. Clearly, the non-music sounds (like the
: receptionist talking) can be heard, so I'm still thinking that the music
: is the culprit, but I'm not sure anymore.

I, too, am fairly certain that the problem lies with the music. I have three specific reason to believe this:
1. I played through level 2 with the sound turned way down, so I could still hear the static and a little bit of other sound, but my ears weren't bleeding. At one point - I think it was somewhere soon after leaving the lobby/entryway - the static went away and I was left with just sound effects of fighting, shooting, etc. The static returned shortly thereafter when I entered a new room. Could be ambient sound or could be music...

2. Having played the PC Gamer demo ON AN ACTUAL PC, I'm fairly certain that there isn't any ambient sound during the cinematic introduction at the very beginning of the second level, but there CERTAINLY IS music. This makes the music look more like the culprit.

3. Finally, I downloaded the entire PC Gamer demo and just threw the Mac Oni demo application into the folder next to the PC demo executable. Guess what results I got? Constant static from start to finish, including the title screen (excluding the introduction movie, however) which ONLY plays music.

We Mac folk are clever; we'll figure this one out before the 29th...

PS - has anyone tried playing a Mac version of the level files on the PC demo? Just curious...not that it matters all that much.
