I am trying to make it so that the system can detect the RmsLevel of an Audio Analyzer to get the loudness of a player’s input.
The issue is that the Audio Analyzer works and changes its RmsLevel value but for some reason the scripts return 0. I have tried changing the scripts, making them local and server sided but nothing has worked so far.
This is the main script for creating the Wires and an Audio Analyzer:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local mic = plr:FindFirstChild("AudioDeviceInput") or Instance.new("AudioDeviceInput", plr)
mic.Player = plr
local audio = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreamDb"):WaitForChild("Audio")
local analyzer = Instance.new("AudioAnalyzer")
analyzer.Parent = audio
--local fader = Instance.new("AudioFader")
--fader.Parent = audio
local AnalyzerWire = Instance.new("Wire")
AnalyzerWire.Parent = audio.Wires
AnalyzerWire.SourceInstance = mic
AnalyzerWire.TargetInstance = analyzer
while task.wait(0.5) do
print(analyzer.PeakLevel, analyzer.RmsLevel)
end
end)
Sorry for the low quality, but the Audio Analyzer’s value is changing meanwhile the output is 0.
I thought of connecting the Wire straight from the input to the analyzer because I don’t want other players interrupting a player’s speech (by using Audio Emitters) unless it’s important.
If anyone understands the new Audio API I really hope you can find out what the problem is
Working with AudioAnalyzer and AudioDeviceInput are weird in studio. Have you tried deleting the the analyzer in real-time on the server to see if the script is actually reading from there?
AudioAnalyzers only work on the client-side, which is why the server Script returns 0 even when the RmsLevel is greater than 0 when viewing it from the perspective of the client.
This was confirmed by the Roblox Staff Member who posted the announcement thread for the new Audio API; they also highlighted a workaround that can be used if you’d still like to be able to reference the RmsLevel on the server-side:
