sound while paused

[spud42]

Not a bug but i was wondering why the music and sounds keep playing while the game is paused? can it be stopped? I have a 2 monitor setup and from time to time i will pause the game to do something on the other screen like play a youtube video linked to one of the forum posts. But i get the game sounds mixed in with the video sounds.

Interesting.. because while it used to be this way, ever since 1.80 was released, I've noticed that once paused, the sound will stop, at least once whatever had been playing at the time of hitting 'pause' had ended, after which no more sounds will be heard..

[StathisR]

It is still the same on my Win7 64bit. The music and background sounds don't stop when paused. Did a change occured in 1.80 regarding this?

[Diziet Sma]

Hmm.. perhaps this is a Windows thing.. it used to be like that with 1.77.1 on Linux, but now the sounds stop after pausing.

[Tricky]

Yeah! On Windows the sound carries on playing. For instance the engine sound (with BGS).

Sound streaming stopping while paused was a bug that was reported and resolved before the release of 1.80 (commit 8d7536b).

Personally I'd also like a way to turn off the sound from the spinning Cobra opening screen. NoSleep's anthem is nice, but sometimes a bit loud and inappropriate. Just to save having to dive for the windows mute key before going into the F2 screen to quiet things down that way...

im running Vista ultimate 64, and Oolite 1.80. i do have BGS (who doesn't?).
doesnt matter where i am space or docked... sound never stops.. I also agree that the sound on the spinny cobra page is too loud...

...i do have BGS (who doesn't?).

Lots of people I suspect. I do, but everything except the hyperspace and tunnel effects are disabled.

I don't. As Smivs wrote elsewhere, the best thing to do with BGS would be to split it into three (or more).

<gerins>It already is, ain't it? The whole OXP, or any of three individual sections.

I don't use it - these^^ are the only bits I want from it, so if anyone split them into a standalone OXP I at least would be happy.

but does the sound stop when paused?

I don't know...I don't normally pause half way through jumping or docking
